You asked what we want in your magazine... How about some real tech issues being addressed? I would pay $40/year for a mag that was both informative and fun to read. Maybe some customer examples and some cool tech tips? Do's and Don'ts (sp?) things of that nature. I am sure you guys have taken the contour to the extreme in more ways then one... why not share the knowledge gained from that with us? Ways to eliminate wheel hop? Explain key concepts that most individuals don't understand... Give tips on what works and what doesn't work on the strip and on the track... which tires to run in which situations... parts reviews (ford or foreign design) We all have discussions that go on for days that could have been solved with a simple tech document explaining what a part does, if there was a way for svt to help us gather some more information about the cdw27 platform that would be great. I know my post is a little un-organized, but it's hard to express all the thoughts that have been pent-up for sooo long.
A couple things I do not agree with...
1) Why does ford sell svt parts to non-svt consumers? Shouldn't dealerships require a VIN/name to obtain svt parts? Sure that is not bullet-proof but i believe it is a general concern of all svt owners alike (chime in if you agree/disagree)
2) wouldn't you know it... my mind went blank, i will post my other thoughts once i gather them...
i think i have given you a large enough piece to chew on for right now anyway...
please do not take my post out of context, i am in noway angry with svt, just more dissapointed at the lack of effort a specail vehicle team has made to really make my vehicle special.
one more thing... i think we are lacking a contour that we can be proud of... something we can all look up to... i know those boys in dearborn could put together a bad ass little contour that would wax the floor with most of those rice burners... over in europe there are all kinds of mondeos running around that we certainly would be proud of, why not show us what our cars can really do? i feel "Puff" was a weak attempt at best... Nothing special there... we have a couple of member's cars that would eat that thing for lunch... how about building us (or at least showing us) something to be proud of?
i am offically a troll... so take my information and advice with a grain of salt.
