103mph, less the 200FWHP...


...I don't think so...


Not even if the car weighed under 2500lbs. (which it does not)


Not only that, but a 2.0 60' & a 103 trap with only a 14.0 is a sign of a VERY peaky engine or maybe just Very bad shifting {or gearing.}


If you hit 2.0 in a Contour and trapped at 103 you would be deep into the 13's no question at all.


There are some normally aspirated folks that would be Very low 14's with just a 2.0 60' time. (I.E. running mid 14's with a 2.3-2.4)

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
