while I would like to encourage you on and say to keep at it.
is it really worth it? I mean even if you do make it into SVT territory...thats only in the 15s. In reality thats not fast at all. Not even close...You've got 2 more seconds to knock off that 15 second time to even be considered quick.
I also wanted a quick contour at one point but with all these new cars coming out and with the money/mod ratio of some factory turbocharged cars out there...its really a waste.
While there is nothing wrong with having a clean car with some bolt ons here and there, dumping loads of money into it is not worth it.
