It will be hard to get into the 12s without at least 260+hp at the wheels. Don't forget we are talking camaro SS/ svt cobra territory here. If you want a car that will do that, get something that is made for that. The contour is a balance of handling, sound, speed. You compromise to get that balance. On the other hand, buy an srt neon, and you can beat a lot of other cars on the road, but I am sure parts will be falling off by around 30k.
