Hey all, just joined the group. A little about myself... I'm 22 years old, in the military, and love my car.
I have a 98 Contour SVT, Black, had a stock cd player and system which I've replaced (though I still have all the stock parts), and 40K miles on the engine.
I just have a few questions...
1. How can I find out which number my car is? There were only about 2,500 of my color car made in 98, just more of a curiousity thing than anything.
2. I really don't know anything about engines or vehicles for that matter, but I'd like to know why it's kind of sluggish on the start, but at about 3.5K rpm it takes off like a bat out of hell.
3. Is there any way I can add more power to it? Perhaps a supercharger or turbo?
4. If I want to take off fast, and perhaps spin my wheels, what's the best way to go about it? I've tried high reving before I start, and it usually gets me going fast, but for some reason I can't spin my wheels. I can however make them churp like a bird going into second.
5. Had a guy offer to buy my car from me today for well over what I paid for it. I know I have something special, but what exactly is so special about it?
Much respect and gratitude to whomever answers, however many that may be.
Thanks,
Nathan
