Glad you are home, I just got in.
I would agree that there is STS or even STX (if you wanna spring for the Quaife) potential in the Contour.
What SVTCole didn't mention, and you need to read between the lines is his car was essentially stock. He turned his time on street tires, not race tires.
So if you have enough cubic dollars, you could build an STS or STX car that is competative.
Thanks to SVTCole and the others who coached and encouraged us, as well as the Spring Zing organizers, such as Mark, Steve and Todd (I know there are others!) for bringing us this event.
It was a blast, and I'm personally glad I was able to redeem myself after turning in the worst time in a Contour, period, during last years SpringZing AutoX event.
