Why did they not go ahead and produce the supercharged concept? I bet this baby might of been the first to get into the 11's.

Why would it get into 11s though when a wrx sti which likely has more power than that concept runs low 13s/maybe high 12s?

Im not saying that it would constanly run in the 11's or that there would be alot of them doing it, but if i had to put my money on a contour that would of one day ran 11 seconds i would say this one. As to date i do not know of a contour that has ran an 11.

Yeah, I'm sure everybody that mods contours would rather mod an AWD one. I think it's that way for any FWD car owner. I don't know of a contour that has run 12s.

Similar contours with similar setups from Arizona Dyno Chip have
trapped over 110mph in the quarter mile @ 12�s with half the boost.

I guess its possible one tour has got into the 12's somewhere but Demons 13.47 is the fastest that i know of.

I'm now gonna have to agree with "why wasn't it produced?" (though I'd probably could say that about some other concept cars, though obviously rather see an awesome contour be built).
From Terry Haines:
As an FYI ,just after the Profile was shown at the
auto shows around the USA 2 cars(one yellow,one
burgandy) were taken by Ford to Waterford Hills track
during the Concours & Historic Race weekend.The cars
were driven in demo laps to show performance etc.Most
of the onlookers said that Ford should 'build'
it...Oh,BTW the drivers of the two cars were Bob Brown
From SVE in England and Terry Haines,Resident Eng on
the CDW27 proto prog...Yep,I know how it
'runs'..LOL.
