Nice car, I don't know, sorry. But then I just don't drive much.

The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's

130hp for the 1999 Escort zx2 Hot Coupe, sport on trunk lid(a 2yr only model run) 2.0L i4 engine 4spd automatic and K&N air filter + K&N oil filter w/Royal Purple 5w30 motor oil vs 190hp for Orion RS and a 3spd auto, I think I could keep up, I get 26mpg city and at least 33mpg hwy mileage. But then 2004-2010 V6 Mustangs are about the same hp as the Orion RS of yours.

Where'd you get 3 speed auto from, its a 5 speed manual, no power sapping torque converter here. K&N air filter without retuning will give 1 extra horsepower if you're lucky.
Mustang might be the same power but they're considerably heavier, the Orion only weighs 1050 kg.
Oh and it does 40 mpg.

I mentioned the 3 as a wiki I'd found mentioned It, I should have asked, sorry. As to the hp the 130 is stock from Ford, so it might be 131, but then I haven't had it dynoed and I don't really need to, as the K&N really means I don't need to change the air filter, just re-oil it once every 50,000 miles, so the car costs Me less. Insurance costs Me $184 a year of course, which amounts to 10 payments of $18.40 per month. But like I said I don't drive much.

Well, this Team Insomniac member has to call it a day.
Gotta go to bed with the kitties, rest the newly zapped eyeball, and get up in the morning for the post-op checkup.

Carry on.

Well, you certainly win on insurance, mines £500 per year which is what, about $800? Bloody fortune!

Just woken up to a gloriously sunny day,
and one that has rhymes. No way!
But, when it comes to servicing my car,
it's about £300 per each 12K, per year, so far.

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.)

Of all the cars I have owned this was my favorite. Only 100 Hp and electrical problems were common. But is was fun in the sun, or snow. Not so much in the rain.

Hei guys ;-)
