Right, with stock power, he was able to do that.. With a turbo, your chances of that happening are 10x worse. We've got people on here that have gone through multiple spider gears because of wheel hop and such. All it's going to take is one bad launch with the turbo to destroy it, unless you spend the extra bucks for the Quaife. Even Terry agreed on this point.

As I said before, to build a reliable turbo SVT is going to cost a tremendous amount of money. If you feel fine driving a $30K Contour, fine. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night, knowing that I'll never see $25K of that again.[/b]
I'll take 2, that is if you can get a turboed SVT for 5k: 30k-25k. I do see your point about the reliability of forced indution. However if the car was not going to be used for drag racing applacations such as 3 or 4 grand launces with slicks and driven with common sence, there is no reason why there should be any problems with the turbo aplications even with the stock trans..

And wouldn't it be neet the next time your crusin down your local Blvd. at a 30 Mph role and and the guy beside you in the Z06 gags on it and is left inhaling the fumes from your blow off FFFPPPSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!! wink laugh :p wink
