You guys are going off topic! Is the Contour worth modding or not? NO!

For me, it is definitely not worth it! Once I get a job, I'm selling my Contour! I'm looking for a better car. Which is (at least for me) any car other than a Contour (for me, anything but a Ford ).

I find no problems with the GM F-Body. But, I do see a problem with the naturally aspirated V8 in the Mustang putting less power than a GM LS-1, no less an LS2 or LS6.

Trust me, the LS1s (maros and t/a) make great power undeniably, but you will hate the build quality and ergonomics. That reason alone was enough for me to purchase my Mustang with less power. The stang also looks a great bit better but that's subjective to taste.

The more I drove the f bodies the more I hated them. Passengers in the front seat really seem to hate the huge hump in the middle of the floorboard as well, not that their opinion matters . Now the vettes are built a little better but are rattle traps also. As a former GM employee, I would never buy one of the previous gen ls1, ls6 cars. The Mustang ain't nowhere near perfect but it's def a step above the gm quality.

The GTO is built pretty good but it's not fair to call it a GTO. The car is nice but the car styling is just too 1990s (boring). It should have been called the next gen Grand Prix coupe with a RWD sedan to match.
