Hard-core CEG'er
Well, then the way you debate could use some work in my opinion. I'm not the sensitive type but the attitude I've seen from you and others on the site from the short time I've been here just seems pointlessly aggressive. Make your point without being sarcastic, inflammatory, etc. and the conversations are less like arguements.Hostile? Not even close. I just don't care about barney'ing my tone so I dont offend vagtastic vahgines. Get to know me and you'll realize its nothing hostile. :shrug:
I don't know everything, but neither do you. Im just arguing my point.
Done with that topic, no hard feeling on my part.
Back to the comparison of the power adders.
You are correct and I believe other platforms will be able to handle the more instant torque better than a Contour.
Anybody that is FI or making good power on an SVTC should have an LSD, and that will help quite a bit.
I've only driven near stock Contours and I love the higher rpm pull, but you'd have to admit it is soft down low. That is much like the NA 4.6 4V Cobra motor (why I brought that up) and pumping up the low-mid range torque is why an Eaton is a good match for that type of motor, especially on the street.
Trust me, instant torque can be a very good thing. You'll find positive displacement blower cars are always the fastest accelerating from a roll in magazine tests (like Car and Driver street start and pssing gear tests)because the instant torque and throttle response is awesome.
