Umm yeah...
Dude, even a stock svt is slow. (and I bet my svt cost less than your car!)
I wasn't critizing your car.
I guess want you want to hear is Great job! But a slow car beat another slow car. Really not exciting.

Yea exactly. A slow car beat another slow car but this slow car hasn't had a beat another slow car that looks fast in a long time. Thats why I posted. I know my car isn't fast, don't take that as bragging. I seriously doubt you paid less for your SVT than my car. I paid $1000. Newho, glad we got things straightened out. I thought stock SVT's were atleast kinda fast.

no, you're taking that all wrong pete. i'm defending that kid who raced the honda. kramit is bitching about how boring it is to read about slow drag races, but this isn't a corvette forum or something... it's a contour forum. and there are only a handful of these cars running faster than 14 second quarter mile times... so stories like these will be the norm, and kremit shouldn't complain about them. if you want to read about crazy fast cars, go elsewhere!
fwiw, i loved my csvt. but i bought it knowing full well it wasn't ever going to be a "fast" car. just a quick one that was a blast to drive.

Yes this is a contour forum but i do have an interesting story of a race with my car and yes it was on a track.
I am not sure if its because of his driving but i recently beat a turbo'd Jetta running 21 PSI. He also had exhaust, intake, and a custom tuned chip.
I have a stock SVT, soon to put headers, intake, and exhaust just waiting to install.
I dont know about what you guys think but i was pretty happy to have beaten him.
What do you all think?

I think what the guy meant to say was, he had 21psi in his tires.
