your sig says a lil bit. I can understand that. But if I had 50K to spend on cars, I would drop maybe 10 in the tour and then buy whatever car I could with the other 40K that is already that fast or can easily become that fast.. ie 03 SVT Cobra...

Sorry to chime here but this guy has been BS all over the site I thought I should chime in.... Its funny you giuys bring up the weight reduction...I was just tlaking to terry haines and this is what you can do...to start Quote:
Rear screen polycarbonate,all doors kevlar /cabon -f,front fenders kevlar/carbon-f,passenger seat ..remove,replace drivers seat lightweight rally style,rear subframe-fab ally & steel,mag front & rear knuckles,front subframe ally fab......the list could go on!!!!
And thats for the frame alone.... You have to understand buddy, tall claims need proof in these waters....and until we see the proof you will get the short stick all the time....Its nothing personal (if you are telling the truth) its just that we have had A LOT of people tell tall tails and were sick of it....so do us and you a favor and just post the picks....and all the problems can be averted.

do you have the MTX-75 still or is this some "custom made" tranny? if it is the MTX-75 what have you done to beef it up or is it still stock?
96 Contour Zetec
it's faster than a period.
According to my calculations the problem doesn't exist.

quote: "rods are aluminum ALLOY" Find me something that is made out in 100% pure aluminum... Ok, series 1000 aluminum (1060,1100,1350) is nearly 100% pure, the purest commonly used aluminum form is 1060 and is 99.6% pure. So, practically, aluminum is always an alloy. You rods could be made with the same type of aluminum alloy used in soft drink cans, wow, but hey, if its in "ALLOY", it's probably really strong !

yes the SVYT tranny will work with the Zetec but you said you didn't have a Zetec anymore and the SVT tranny is just as weak as the Zetec tranny same diff gear.
