   spot on, evo's are only 2lts yet they'll beat 3 ltr bm's and audi's all day.

   i hate to say it but i reckon the vtr feels quicker than a zetec s wen ur in it (which is gud) but its cus its more tinny, and generaly a poorer build lol.

    The Zetec S is way underpowered for what it actually is, but its a much smoother engine though than the VTS/Gti TU engine.
    
    Ive heard that the Zetec S's are quite tunable on the other hand though. So you shouldnt always underestimate them at the lights!! Especially if its got a 1.7 puma engine in..
