Someone with a bullet proof tranny, reinforced roll restrictors, rock solid rear suspension, upgraded driveshafts, an LSD, a set of Mickey Thompsons and 400hp might break into the low 12's, high 11's, but that basically means having a car that's only good for the strip.
And IMHO that's not what the Contour and it's owners on this board are about.
I just want an all round fast car - with a concentration on Auto-X'ing.....and I'm getting there. Mind you with "only" ~300hp, I'm not going to see 12's any time soon. My poor tires already struggle with putting down the power I have, during a launch and powering out of tight corners. Nonetheless, I will say that my car is a fun street car with more than enough anbility to embarass many other high hp cars on the road.
