I never said the contour was a drag racer, I just enjoy running it down the strip a few times a year.
Also drag racing is a pretty good way to see if any mods you have done are effective. Granted its not as good as a dyno, but it will give you a general idea.
I know the car is a handler first and foremost, and I love a brisk drive on a twisty road as much as the next guy, but I also enjoy running it down the strip.
The car is not setup for drag racing and this makes getting a descent time out of it all the more rewarding.
I'm just getting a little fed up at all the people wondering why I, and others waste our time taking my car to the drag strip. It isn't going to hurt the car (with the Quaife, HD axles, etc.) so why not have a little fun at the strip and suprise a few mustangs.
Sorry, Rant off
