After reading all of this, it seems like as soon as every shows up to SZ, there is just going to be a brawl...

I doubt some of y'all would even bother with turning the car off.

I can't speak for everyone here as I haven't met everyone inperson, but I know this, Hector is about as laid back as they come (I wish I could be more like that ) and will not start anything with anyone. Theres a couple other here though, I wouldn't worry about either. Its not so much that they're "E-thugs", but its alot easier to spit venom here than inperson. The only way this will get completely blown out of proportion is someone says something personal and to quote Clint Eastwood from "Line of Fire"..."thats not going to happen".



With all that being said, I wanna have something like "Pinks" and I'm the host I've got the guys same haircut and personality We need to pick something to race for, other than money, but something they really don't wanna lose, any 's?

Timeslips don't prove anything. Yeah your car ran that time....but if you can duplicate it again when racing the next opponent is what matters. Just in case you didn't understand: If I have a timeslip that says I ran 13.5 and I run a car that has run 13.7, we race and I lose running only a 13.9 to this guys 13.7 I lost, bottom line. In the end times don't mean ****.



As far as racing....I really don't care if I win or lose. In my Contour I lost EVERY race at the track (except a stock Zetec). No sweat off my back. In the end I got to race and that is all that matters to me.

BTW all of you trying to compare your Contours to an Evo....apples and oranges. There are big differences between a $20k new CSVT vs. a $30k new Evo. Honestly even if you put $10k into your Tour....still apples and oranges.

In the end it will be:

CSVT- Touring sports car
Evo- Race car

If you don't believe or can see what I am saying...look at the hardware on the Evo compared to the CSVT.

LOL you crack me up....
All I asked for was a 13's slip since your claimin that.
Just because Motor Trend drivers run a 13.8 doesn't mean you will.

No, you are right about the hardware. Even if I match the engine and suspension mods, the AWD and cool differential setups of the EVO are still far advanced. It would take putting in the Jag AWD system or Mondeo AWD system with some tweaking to make the contour into something that could beat the evo in all areas.

But, as far as straight times, I ran 13.9s very consistently with it all the time on the old stock width, street tires all the time. It was harder to drop down in the 13.8s on those same tires due to traction problems and therefore the consistency wasn't there.
So I agree with you on one had that ONE timeslip doesn't mean you'll win, but on the other hand I think if it is pretty consistent then it is a perfect indicator of who will win.

Which by the way, will be ME if I go.
lol
