Fastest contour

[Ifordman98]

I know the contour svt is no straight line car, but ive never been able to pinpoint what the fastest N/A 2.5, 3.0 and all around the fastest contour in 1/4 mile times.

there's been posts about this before. i believe the fastest tour is 13.1 in the qtr.

hmm iirc... demonsvt had the fastest 3.0 NA at 13.47 quarter mile.

and the other one .. didnt burritasvt or one of them pull off a 13.2 w/ a turbo 3.0 litre?

I think I read somewhere that a 2.5 nitrous did 13's... I don't know the validity of that, but I am sure of DemonSVT.

fastest n/a is 13.47, fastest period is 13.2 turbo, and I believe there was also a 13.2 ran by a contour with nitrous, there was another recent thread on this that's why I knew this off hand

i thought someone hit something like a 13.14

is that's the best you can do then you must be slow...in the head.

maybe but I was pretty sure on 13.2, either way, I was wondering why that's the fastest a contour has gone, there are a few contours with over 400whp, and there are other fwd cars with less hp running much better times. Is it just that nobody runs drag slicks or is there a weak link that nobody's found a way around yet when you reach a certain hp? I know traction is the ultimate enemy with these cars when you get to a certain level of power.

traction and snapping axles i believe are the most common issues, and yes it sucks that a tour has yet to hit 12's where as a freakin honda with less power can hit low 12's

it's a damm shame how much power these engines can make with F/I, but the chassis and the rest of the drivetrain can't put it down.
