Now I've ranted about Contours, this demands attention. Just how does a throttle 'jump up' to 5k? Never heard of that in my life, mainly because the assl'y has a RETURN SPRING (actually more than one, right?). Something was either way the heck outa whack or your foot slipped. My car is a real love/hate thing, like a Ferrari almost, but it drove in the snow at very low temps w/no prob's today, didn't stall, ABS works. Damn thing works fine when I need it to....otherwise, I'd trade the problem ridden thing in 2 sec's. I sure wish they would SVT a Cougar (anyone?). Maybe they could pipe the engine right, and put in a mgmt system that finally fixes all our problems! I would trade in a blink. What IS an SVT Focus? What were they thinking!


98 CSVT, basic mod's, my slowest car yet but still faster than the wife's Talon Tsi AWD. Not by much, though. Now if I could get the back wheels to do something....
