Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General carreview.com and the Tour

Anyone check out his site and see the reviews of the tour? It's incredibly bad. It's a stark contrast to the raves we at the CEG tend to give the car.

I'll admit that many drivers are uninformed on things like why the contique was discontinued and how to properly maintain a car, but it seems that there is a real concensus out there that our cars suck.

I found this review - Is he a known CEGer?

Yeah I read that too! That is the fastest contour I have ever heard of! Most of the really bad reviews are on the non SVT contours. Almost all of the SVT reviews are good except for a couple and in one case it was not even the car's fault. It seems that the worst rated cars are the 4 cylinder ones.

sounds like sam(phatSVT) he always tell people he runs 13's in his tour

If he's from the Colorado Springs, I haven't seen him. Not dissing him, but I'd like to meet him to see what he's done to run 13's at 6000 ft altitude.

I have yet to see a Contour run lower than 16.00 up here in CO... most are not even close to that time either.
