Hey, I just got a '96 Contour, my first car (woo hoo!). It's got a wimpy 2.0L V4, and I was wondering what the acceleration/horsepower of it was? Thanks

it would be cool to see a circle track four in a contique though... Talk about high revs.

I would go with the 8-9, I've been through the full range with mine and LoCo is rite,, don't underestimate the Zetec. Go top speed one day, u'd be suprised at how well it handles.

no offense, but just call it slow. a naturally aspirtedI 4 is a dog. my ranger is a dog. 2.3L I 4. i hate it. now, my SVO isnt a dog. then again, it isnt NA. <---- wont settle for more than a 14.99 from his SVT contour.
1985 SVO: 4 cylinders, 5 gears, 20 PSI
1998 torredor red SVT contour: #3705 of 6535

An I-4 Ranger is a POS, of course you hate it! There are VERY powerful NA I-4s everywhere.. Granted, the 2.0 Zetec isn't one of them..
