You let me know where you found an 8 year old Contour with 12,000 miles on it and I'll tell you the specs.

Guys it's the same for almost all model years. The engine and transmission choices didn't change at all with the exception of the addition of the SVT tweaked engine.

For the last time:
ATX Zetec: approx. 11 seconds to 60, 18-ish in the quarter
MTX Zetec: Give or take a tenth or two on the Duratec ATX.
ATX Duratec: 8.7-9.0 to 60, 16.8ish in the quarter.
MTX Duratec: 7.7 to 60/16 flat quarter
SVT Duratec: 6.9 to 60/see a ton of signatures for quarter miles.

Next time, search and you shall find.
