Demon-

I didn't think you were serious at first, but 17 seconds from 0-120mph in your NA Contour isn't gonna happen. Just for comparison, the new 287hp Nissan 350Z does 14.1@101mph in the 1/4 and runs a 0-120mph in 21.4 seconds and tops out at 156mph. It takes the Z 10.2 seconds to go from 90mph to 120mph. To go from 90mph to 120mph in 4 seconds would be feel unreal. The sensation would feel like 1st gear. The hard truth is that on every gear change, the acceleration Gs become lower and lower which means acceleration isn't as strong. I'd say your CSVT probably does 0-120mph in ~28-29 seconds.
