Look i dont anyhting SVT tours i never owned one. But from 60 MPH i jumped one whole car length ahead and stayed there till i hit the rev limiter Thats is all im saying on it.
Okay, then I'll say this
That SVT Contour wasn't trying to outrun you. He was likely just pacing you to annoy you since you were obviously trying to outrun him. I used to do that all the time, before I got my Focus. I love my Focus, but it's one of the slowest cars I've ever driven when it comes time to pull out and pass, always requiring a downshift. Your WTS is even heavier than my ZX5.
My regular 170hp Contour with a stuck secondary butterfly usually didn't require a downshift to pass, but when they did work, and I dropped to 4th, I could alomost hit the govenor passing a semi. That duratec would easily kick my ZX5s ass all over the highway, and the SVT is even faster.
The SVT Contour will pull hard on any Focus, including an SVT, or a JRSC ZX3 in a straight line or on the highway. You expect anyone to believe a regular 130hp Zetec WTS can hang with a 200hp Contour?
