I lost my car to a fire and now I am in the market for another car. I have been looking at a cariety of cars, but it comes down to I want a four door car with potential of being as fast as my GTI (13.3 quarter mile and demon on the highway). I have been reading about the Contours and was couldnt find a good answer as to how much boost the engine can handle and how much hp the tranny could handle. I would raterh go S/C but it seems that everyone is going turbo around here and maybe that is an easier route. Any suggestions on what car to look for? Like what year Contour? I want leather for sure, and preferably the newest body style. I am comparing getting an SVT Contour versus a 2000 and up 1.8t Jetta or a 2002 and up 1.8t Quatrro Audi A4.
