If you want a fast contour, apply forced induction. Darin P 93 Probe GT About as close to 300hp as my Tranny can handle...

Seriously, a V8 SVT would be cool, but the weight the V8 has over the V6 ruins the extra power it produces.

It uses the same 60 degree V as the V6 instead of the more normal 90 degree of most V8s. They had to add a balance shaft to smooth out the vibrations caused by the unnatural 60 degree V. Do you have room to put the SHO V8 in a Contour? Maybe, if you put the two extra cylinders in the trunk. It might be easier to do a 3.0L conversion with a stroker kit to come up with 3.4L. At least that would fit. Jim Johnson 98 SVT

Just remember the v8 sho atx has it all over the v6 atx. The v6 mtx is the fastest simply b/c of the manual option. 3.4 yamaha/duratec would be all over the 3.0 yamaha if the v8 came with a 5 or 6 speed. And if you want to go for a top speed run, you better believe I'm grabbing the v8 Yamaha/Duratec before I grab the suped up vulcan v6. 14.6 out of a 12 valve 3.0 Taurus A wise man once said, rather then watch a girl wrestle I would rather see her box.
