Boy you have a bug up your butt don't you.

This car will never be a DRAG car. Why compare it on such basic, rudimentary skills.[/b]
Well, you guys keep talking about the amazing handling of the SVT, but a Vette will out-handle and out-accelerate the turbo SVT. And if we're going to go back to the cost discussion, you can get a Z28, spend a good $5K on suspension upgrades, and have one hell of a corner carver that still hauls ass in a straight line. And if you decide that low 13s isn't good enough, there's a ridiculous aftermarket to make it faster.

No bug up my butt, I'm just waiting for someone to make a valid arguement to justify the costs..[/b]
But that is not the point. The point is it has been done before. I've seen too many Z28s, Mustangs, Corvettes, etc hooked up. It is about doing something different. It is about giving more options for the Contour. Who really cares how it compares to another true sports car? Comparing a turbo SVT Contour to a Corvette, Z28, or Mustang is ubsurd. They aren't even in the same class.

Like I said before it comes down to love for your car. Just my .02
