Hey guys, I'm a new here, just joined the community
Anyways I'm planning on purchasing a new /used/ vehicle sometime this summer and I'm seriously thinking about the
SVT version of the Contour. I currently have '98 V6 SE Sport w/5-speed that I keep stock /except for window tint and stuff like that/ and I'm pleased with it. However I need something more sporty.
CSVT is a good choice, I'm interested in purchasing the '00 model /can finance for longer/. Like the idea of 200hp/169tq. and .9g on a dry skidpad
Well I have a few questions for you guys. First of all what performance gain can I expect from the Superchip combined with K&N filter?! Top speed difference /143mph stock right?/, 0-60time??! Also I would immediately purchase a set of 17" rims and lowering springs /probably H&R/. What do y'all guys think about set up like that?!
Is there a short-throw shifter available? I talked to a few dealers and they would sell their SVTs for $11K with around 40K miles on 'em, is this a good deal??!
And last but not least, what is the main difference in the performance between my car and the CSVT, cuz I never drove one.
PS: I have mpore questions, how much it would be to get a chip and have it tuned properly? Like Superchip or so. Just in case that all what I would like to do to the engine would be a chip and CAI.
Is it worth it? I've heard that chip works only sometimes??!! Whats the deal with it?
