I am amazed at how stable the Contour is at high speeds...it doesn't even feel like you're going all that fast

Was that with the 3L?? Cuz I tried to um floor my car next to a WRX, and I think he floored it and um he beat me real bad. There were 2 people in my car (me and buddy) and just one (him) in his. Once it started, he had about 5 car lengths on me in a matter of seconds. He was slightly modded too.
96 se with a vortech.
95 SE Modded - Gone
98 E0 Black SVT - Gone
98 se sport - Broken
00 T-Red SVT - Nice

Some guys have gone faster given a good amount of room and the right drag. There is room to go faster 
But thats street racing which isn't tolerated on CEG. 
that seems awful slow, i hit 130 in my 95GL going downhill

My surprise being that you actually found a street with a 40 degree incline...and, even worse, that you only managed 130mph (again, what chip??) down it.
