I have the best I could have for now. It's either have everything I want except the mtx, or the mtx with essentially, nothing else (I'd be lucky to see a good Duratec under the hood in my area) Realistically a tranny swap is financially out of the question, as I'm 19 and making crazy asz insurance payments on a part time job. Thank God the tour is only 107 a month!

Only because of the above conditions do I stay happy with my Contour; I really have it good for what it's worth, though I itch for an mtx.




Yea, I hear that. When my ATX goes I plan to do an MTX swap...



My car stock, very well maintained nonetheless, ran a 16.8 in so-so weather(65 degrees 90% humidity, according to the slip). Thats with overdrive on, wish I would've known od off was a "sport mode".

Oh well, the track will be open again next year...
