That's what I wanted to say but I tried to give the slushbox a little love with my post.

Yeah. Making an ATX equipped Contour "fast" is really a lost cause, but some of us are stuck with what we got. Oh well, a 3L swap might be in my future (that is if I can keep my tranny from dying).

Have a Lightning tow it down the strip.

Hey, hey, hey!

ive got a 95 mystique v6 atx. My best has been a 17.216 with a broken tranny case and axles rubbing all the way down the track. My only mods are svt exhaust and cold air intake. I now have a built tranny with the shift kit and all and I gutted my precats and modded my Y-pipe. With a good cool down and good track conditions I would hope for 16's. come spring anyway

I ran a 16.9 in my Zetec ATX.

I had chip, intake, UDP, header, and exhaust.

I don't know why, but I've been laughing about that for two hours... and I have an ATX.

Seriously though, you own two slushbox tours... if your interested in going fast why not sell both and buy yourself a MTX V6, with that upgrade you will already be in the 15's.

I'm getting a CSVT this spring and i just wanna fix up my DD

oh yeah, i'm selling the tan one to my brother.. so i have the 99Se for about a few more weeks.. i'll soon have to change my name to 97_SE

Kickass, good luck with the hunt for your SVT. A lot of really nice ones have been popping up in the classifieds. If you are really interested in hooking up your SE, PM me i have some performance parts that i took off my beater you might be interested in. I have a 97 SE also...

get one of those 12 second deisel trucks to tow it?

Problem is any mtx duratec in my area are beat to sh%t or not aesthetically kept up on, and I want either an mtx is my current ride or, an mtx in my current ride

I have the best I could have for now. It's either have everything I want except the mtx, or the mtx with essentially, nothing else (I'd be lucky to see a good Duratec under the hood in my area) Realistically a tranny swap is financially out of the question, as I'm 19 and making crazy asz insurance payments on a part time job. Thank God the tour is only 107 a month!

Only because of the above conditions do I stay happy with my Contour; I really have it good for what it's worth, though I itch for an mtx.

Yea, I hear that. When my ATX goes I plan to do an MTX swap...

My car stock, very well maintained nonetheless, ran a 16.8 in so-so weather(65 degrees 90% humidity, according to the slip). Thats with overdrive on, wish I would've known od off was a "sport mode".

Oh well, the track will be open again next year...

yeah.. i'm gonna spend some time at a local ford performace shop and see what they can do for our contours.. maybe with a little ecu re-working i can run a mid 16

oh yeah.. btw my insurance is 150 Mo.. for both contours

plus whatever tickets, maitnance, gas.. whatever it needs..

This spring or summer I'm going to the track anyways so I'll get some times. I wish I could tune with an ecu reflash ontop of a dyno run. They are practically dream mods for an everyday guy like me.

On a side note Russell, I wish I coud achieve an accomplishment like that! Someday, trust me, someday!

Oh man...I was 18 when I bought my CSVT for $7000 (77k miles)..on my own. Payments were $107.00 a month and I paid the loan off 8 months early...How much did you pay for yours?

Have you ever ran the car in its current form?? If you do take it w/o a chip, be sure to turn off o/d as it apparently goes into a "sport mode" I didn't do that when I went before, but I will next time.

Theoretical at this time. I've seen one post that says it makes no difference. I clicked mine off & on... I didn't really feel any difference or observe a higher shift point in 'normal' driving, but at the track - WHO KNOWS??

Supposedly it shifts quicker and harder. I've played around with it a little on the street, haven't let if shift at WOT yet, partially because of the snow though. The shifts do seem to be quicker and more firm. If you think about what O/D off is intended to be used for, which would be towing, it makes sense because if it shifted and the clutches started to slip, adios amigos... Whereas if it shifts harder, being harder on the gears, there is less (if any) clutch slippage.

Sound right??

15.3x w/ OD on
15.02 w/ OD off

car is faster with OD off. period.

Cool! We have track proof! Thanks Russell.

Is that chipped or not??

3 tenths off my time would make my car run a 16.5 stock... Not too shabby for an auto...

thats with a 3L and other mods, and yes an ADC chip

plus alot of stuff needed fixed on my car also, not to mention stock single exhaust!

well i pay 149.00 on my inshurance

and thats just one car
