Secondly, I wasn't trying to put down your cars. I was just posting some opinions, be they accepted or not. Though I expect some irritaion with would come after all, this is y'all's house. And those things some of you posted about the duratec? Didn't know that. Designed by Porsche? Pretty cool. Guess I let some local contour guys bias my opinions on y'all. You know the type. To them, the SVT badge might as well say type R. And if some well tuned Contour wanted to go, I'd do it. Win or Lose, It'd be a cool race. What's the fastest time anyone's ever pulled in a Contour? Just curious 'cause I know of a few SRT's in the twelves.



yup, its designed by porsche and ford then took the design and put it our cars. The fastest time iirc is a 13.8 which has been acheived both on a n/a 3.0L putting out 280 hp and on a few turbo svts, running as little as 5 psi. Our cars are not set up for drag racing. They are set up for twisties! I do see a contour breaking into the 12s into the near future though.
