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!
