hmmm 300HP and you are running 12.4 in a contour? I smell fishsticks..
Tom has a best 1/4mile of 12.54 @ 115mph when he was only running 328whp, in his lightweight FOCUS (much lighter than the contour to begin with)
And trust me, he has plenty of beefed lightened internals...

The air is colder in alaska Hmmm,i don't know..he seems pretty genuine about it. When he gives pics later we will see. Oh, and wishfulthinkin...the pods are universal....they say 98 but will work for any year.  ...contours weigh 3,000lbs roughly and you say yours is down to 1800....thats 1200lbs of weight reduction  where the hell did it come from...And where did it go
