I think I have seen that guy with the "DOHC ZTEC" sticker on the side. If I remember correctly it was dark blue and the sticker looked like the DOHC VTEC sticker found on the last generation Si. Did he also have a big Focus decal on the side?
Not sure if he is on the board, but I spotted his car over at Devine Sounds when I was getting my "girlfriend's" Mustang tinted.


Roadracer...Zetec is not an emissions thing. The Zetec motors found in the ZX2 do have VCT (variable cam timing) on the exhaust cam which does aid in better emissions. Fortunately, the Zetec's in the Foci do not have this performance hampering VCT. However, the new SVT does have a similar VCT setup, but it is on the intake cam and actually enhances performance. Just like the VCT found on the ZX2, it is not computer controlled like VTEC.
