contrary to popular belief...now i know its not scientific proof or anything or even a remotely accurate way of measuring performance but it does show that they are not as slow as people think...(well this one isn't anyway)
Just a quick vid:
http://www.zippyvideos.com/13146925464825.html
Just in case the video doesn't work....its not a video of my car getting beaten by a zetec-s!
Bearing in mind I have a dbilas inlet and full sebring system I think it would beat a standard Gsi no problem.
we both accelerated in second gear ONLY as i couldn't change gear with the phone in my hand!
This will cause some debate i'm sure

yes vid keeps cutting my internet off
And if you lost to a Ztec S with just a exhaust and filter either you cant drive or your car is not set up right.

setecS takes over 30s to get to 100mph. the corsa GSi takes around 28s it is possible for the zetec-s to stay in gear with another car as thats not a true measure of out and out acceleration. the power bands of each car is different as arre the gear ratios. I have a vid of me racing a zetec-s at crail.
ENJOY

whats the zetec-s got? i.e. filter and exhaust?
It doesn't look completely bone standard.
So that zetec-s may be 10 bhp more than a standard one or whatever.
Sly we need to re-race now my car has the exhaust, before it was pretty even - it'd be interesting to see how they fair now

I think my exhaust is blowing at the manifold too - as I didn't bother replacing the gasket that goes manifold to center pipe.
