If you want to get into the 14s, don't buy a Contour. It's not a drag car- at all. It's a great handling, reasonably accommodating sedan with decent acceleration. If straight lines are your thing, donâ??t waste your money. Youâ??ll spend the next part of your life shuddering at the word â??wheelhopâ?. If you can get over the drag thing (and maybe get your speed kicks at an autocross), then by all means, keep looking until you find a decent MTX V-6. I recommend looking hard for a 95-97 SE. I would take one over a 98-99 SVT, and they are much cheaper.
