Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag Zetec in the low 14's

I will once again tell you that the $X,XXX amount of money you save will NEVER actually be in your pocket to be used for mods!!! It just doesn't happen like that; unless you have $25000 in your savings account from flipping hamburgers at MCDonalds.

yep sure sucks moving out and paying for your own school, no not highschool art fees,I mean college. Doesnt leave crap left to mod your car, however I guess it gives you a concept of money...

there are ways to hide the use of nitrous anyways if it causes damage.

Um...no. If you've ever seen a leaned out piston, it's pretty obvious.
Good Piston:

Nitrous Accident:

you can go slap a new piston in there for a decent price if you decide to use nitrous, anything else that went wrong the dealer can fix.

first of all, i think you misunderstood much of what i said. second of all, i didn't say with same mods your gonna beat a duratec, i said the base power doesn't matter if you have more stuff to give your car power. it's just stupid that some duratecs owners think that zetecs are worthless, just cuz they start out with 40hp less, and then get mad when one beats them. and big deal if i had the times wrong on the se-r, i already said my bad.

and you'll never have a retirement fund, never own your own house, never have a good looking wife, never have a dog that isn't a mutt.... funny, you don't even know me. keep telling me that so i can keep laughing at you as I mod my car. and once again thanks for the support

racing wires = 35 bucks = 0 hp
homeade cai with filter = 35 bucks= 6 hp(being nice and some toxice pvc fumes)
swaybar and bushings= 50 buck =0 hp
being stupid enough to think that is modding.... pricelss

you really don't know how a dearlership works.... NOS= no more warrenty.... sad but true... and there are more ways they your small mind could ever understand that will allow them to know if there has been NOS on a car or not.
besides NOS is the "poor mans power adder" big daddy garland (sp?) old time drag racer.

Ceteris paribus, more displacement equals more power. Despite their obvious differences, if you added exact components two each, ie. a turbocharger system, the Duratec would be better. But you have to add in other factors, an important one being the size of the engine bay. If you were building the ultimate performance Contour, factoring in the size of the engine bay, you would use a four cylinder. But no one is trying to build the ultimate Contour, and each engine has its place.

Sleeper, I've said it before and I'll say it again, nice passes!
