Though I may have sold the SVT(s) for a ZX3, I will still be Duratec powered and the ceg is my home so I will continue to stay and post here for those who want to listen. My 3.0 ZX3 is still in the building process but I decided to get some performance figure ideas. By using David Z's 3.0L dyno plots I calculated the drivetrain loss and started plugging away at Car Test. The weight of the ZX3 is 2550 lbs, although it will easily be ~2350 lbs when I am finished with it.

Here are the parameters:
disp: 3000cc ??
hp: 281 @ 6500
tq: 254 @ 5000
comp: 11:1
redline: 6900
launch: 1200 rpm clutch dump
Then I added in the Contour SVT gears and the ZX3 dimensions.

Here are the results:
0-60 in 4.9 sec
0-100 in 10.6 sec
1/4 mile in 12.9 @ 111.9!!! eek

He he! Wouldnt that be nice!! I guess we will just have to wait and see!
