Step away from the crack pipe... Any street suspensioned front wheel drive with this much power would be lucky to get low 13's because of low traction at the start through probably the end of third gear. Even with slicks it would be hard pressed to run anything consistantly in the high 12's. It will, however, have one hell of a top end charge!!! Luckily, Rick's more of a road racer anyway.
mid to high 12's are had with less than 300 whp srt's on a fairly consistent basis. In fact as soon as I get off my ass and buy some slicks I plan to be there myself, but I'll wait for a timeslip to go into any further detail about that.
For road racing it'll be flat out beast. Is this going to be a circuit car or an ameture enthusiast weekend warrior car? You should bring it to One Lap next year and try it out against the ol Lake-Effect-Racing Neon.
You said it, SRT's can get there. They have a better suspension and get it to the road better than a Contour can. Mid 12's at best.
