I am thinking on buying a 2001, and I can't remember whether it said Zetec or not (all I can remember that was written on the engine was VCT).

What is Zetec for a thousand?

it doesnt stand for anything, just a code name for v8 racing engines back in late 70s and followed into 4 cyls in early 80's with ohv engines. Then around 1992 it became a dohc engine. They have been doing minor things since, mostly headwork. This is my understanding.

as far as my understanding is it's simply the name of the engine...now i thought i was absolutely sure about this until came back to this post...everyone i've asked said it's just the name of the engine just like duratec, triton, etc....i could be wrong

it is just the name of the engine, but thats my understanding of the history of the name. The duratech stands for durable technology however.
