You can start pulling a little though from 90+...they're governed to 127. Can be modded easily, most common mod is a sc pulley. A GTP better not even attempt to keep up with an SVT...they can't handle for crap. "Wider is better" is simply a marketing scheme. Two of my friends have GTP's and we've run at the track a few times one with K&N drop in ran 14.6 and the other one is stock and ran a 14.8. My best time is a 15.2 I dont care if they're faster in the 1/4. The SVT looks so much better and GTP's are everywhere! Everyone has one...way too common. Anyways, my 2 cents... -neal 99 SVT...modified 96 GL....the beater "I live my life a quarter mile at a time. For those 14 to 15 seconds, 16 if I get tire spin, or get a bad jump, or possibly if I have a friend in the car, I'm free."

I've seen two or three around town (they seem about as rare as the CSVT) I heard that this was a GP with some SLP add ons and is quite quick. Don't know aboutthe handling though. 96 Contour GL 2.5 ATX 02 Mazda Protege LX 2.0 MTX
