    Opnions, guys!

    My girlfriend has a 99 Escort ZX2. Manual, with no options. Bare as can be. I've been driving this thing awhile and have come to the conclusion that with a few slight mods, it may actually be decently quick. It feels surprisingly good going through the gears (for a bone stock 4 cylinder.)...
