95_Mystique
Hard-core CEG'er
Well, as some of you may know, my brother picked up a 2002 Focus ZX5 really cheap about a month ago, and i got stuck working on it to make it road worthy. Well now that he has some experience driving stick, he thinks his 2.0 Zetec 5 speed will beat my 2.0 Zetec 5 speed Mystique. What do you guys think?

He was thinking his was quicker, but i let him drive it and now he thinks it'll be close. I think i'll have him hands down due to a few small factors. I've been to the strip a few time (64 passes), i drive my car daily (for the past 3 years), and i have slightly more mods than him. Not sure of the Focus's weight, but i think we're close when it comes to that.
Thoughts?
