Agreed, especially on the VR4 part!
Well, this seems awfully unrealistic of the both of you. You don't think that with the right internals (forged, 8.0CR), which means increased boost, a limited slip differential and a beefed up MTX-75 that we couldn't outrun (even by an inch) a stock 3000GT VR-4, a Corvette C5 or a Ford Mustang Cobra? You have GOT to be kidding me. :rolleyes:
A completely stock 2.5L SVT Contour is making around 300HP, at the WHEELS, mind you and you're... rolling your eyes at the possibility? Gawd.
.RMk..[/b]Problem is, the 03 Cobra- straight off the showroom floor, is making 360 - 380 RWHP. Throw on exhaust and intake mods, and you are at 400 RWHP. Add the Lightning pulley to the supercharger, and we are talking 450 RWHP easy (it upps the boost from 8 to 12 PSI). Given that the Mustang is a RWD car, this helps in the weight transfer upon launch. Sorry, but I think you'll have a hard time keeping up with a lightly modded 03 Cobra. Earlier years are probably fair game, depending on mods. Even then, you will only likely beat them a few times, until something on your car gives (driveline). Contours simply weren't meant for those power/torque levels.
