I'm currently thinking about getting a Contour se 5 spd.
but I was worried about how fast they are, cause I've seen posts of SVT's hitting 16's @83 in the heat.
I read the FAQ that said SE's run 15.9 @ 88, but I need to know if they really do that well.
I have a GrandPrix GT & it runs 15.8 @ 87 when it was hot, so in cooler weather I'ld say mid 15's @89ish.
I don't want anything slower than what I have.
So what did ya'll SE ppl get stock? & trap speed as well.
stock 5spd se's run about mid to high 15s. although, modded thats a different story. ive seen modded cougars on here, which have the same V6 engine as us and slightly heavier, running high 14s.

Actually MTX Cougars are the same or a bit lighter. They tip the scales under 3000lbs.

hmm, i was almost sure car and drivers results had the cougar weighing in at a little bit more.
I thought they were lighter too, they are a bit smaller.
So how much would it take to get an SE running low 15's, even a non-factory freak?
i have a 95 se and all i had done was an intake and exhaust and i ran 15.9 on a very hot and humid day. i think the low 15's high 14's is very possible with an se. the question is how much do you want to spend?
I ran 16 flat in mine with a full tank of gas and my first time to the track. It's a 95 for the record with a intake and a SVT resonator less exhaust.

Talk to Brad about his freak.
He hit 14's with Silvie before the 3L. Quite impressive driving played a large part (2.0x 60'
)
heh, i saw a V6 Cougar run a 16.8
I did not see him run the 14.7, but have seen him run a 15.1. That was on the same night and same track that I was running low 15's with my SVT. I know its not proof, but it is one unusually fast SE.
"1998.5 Contour SE - 16.990 @ 79.23 mph - More mods then your mama's coat rack."
good lord!what did you run stock?
I hope that's an atx.
no offense...
hmmmmmm, not a bad time for an atx 4 banger, what do those dyno stock?
