Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag SZ "bench racing", lets do it here!

I thought I'd share an experience with you guys I had today, inparticular, driving a turbo'd 2.5L CSVT! JD came over today to check out some of the Barrett-Jackson auction (Cabo Wabo ) and I heard a blowoff valve go off, so I knew he was here. I asked right away if the "miss" was out of it that was present when they first got it and and he said yes, so I told him I need to drive it! So I'm going down the road in 2nd gear and just nail it and all of a sudden the thing is wheel hopin', BADLY I asked him, "is that wheelhop" and he said YEAH! I couldn't believe it because the wheel pulled like it needed an alignment Even nailing it in 3rd gear you could feel the wheel workin' against you a bit and a slight variation of this in 4th The showdown at SZ is going to be VERY interesting, but I haven't driven the EVO, yet
