Wow, thanks for the info. So C5's (not Z06) and Z-28's run 11's. You're talking like a newbie fool.  You obviously have the memory retention of a goldfish as I NEVER said I was beating down Vette's. A Z-28 on the other hand (LT-1 engine) is a different animal, and he was as surprised as you would be if you ACTUALLY new how fast my car is. I don't see any facts from you either. You slap on a boost controller and act as if you have a an Enzo now. 
And 20lbs for a window module - RIIIIGHT, maybe in a POS Dodge, but you'd be lucky if all 4 modules in the Contour weighed 20lbs TOTAL!
I guess if we rolled down the road side by side, I would be turning more heads thatn, your ass-in-the-sky Neon. Then when I walk you all the way up to 150mph you'll shut yer trap.

No my car doesn't have a maf, but I can buy MOPAR's Stage 1 kit for $328 and go from 215/245 to 245/265 at the wheels. That's pretty solid IMO.

my only problem with your statement is the cheap feeling part. Have you ever even seen one other than in pictures? Nothing cheap looking or feeling about it. Whats cheap looking about an intercooler that spans the front of the car? Camaro's are more along the lines of cheap IMO, I could go buy a base camaro right now for $15k, probably cheaper because GM can't move a car to save their lives (short of a vette). That fact alone puts your coveted z28 in the same econo class as my neon.
Oh please, its a neon for godsakes. Even if its not as cheap as the ones ive been in, people look at it and think cheap. Plus its way up there on the "cars built for girls" list. Maybe when you get some more money you can buy a turbo beetle-- i hear those are performance monsters too.
Many of the z28s I have seen seem cheap inside too, the plastics and such could use some work. So what, itll smoke the crap out of your neon. Anyways, since you obviously didnt understand the point I (and several others) were trying to make, Ill let it drop.
To the other dude about the 300zx, you can get some power out of them but they arent built like the supras, and dont run like them either. Stick with the supras, and if you can show me a link where I can get a 94 for 17k, send it to me and maybe ill buy the car

I think half the people in this thread forget that they're driving "just" a Contour. The Hertz special.

This statement is very true....you guys sound like a bunch of assclowns...
The SRT-4 is quicker stock, and will always have the potential to be quicker than an SVT Contour....provided that the owner is an enthusiast, and spends some dough! This is what happens when you compare technology of the late 90's to technology of the new millenium...Guys with modded to hell cars attempting to defend themselves against a new car that can match or even beat them. Think about the Corvette..back in the 60's it was fast as hell! Now we have the ZO6 that has been titled the best Vette ever! Now we all know the BB Vette's of the 60's made some serious power, but look at the smaller displacement ZO6 making more power, getting better mpg, and handling a ton better.
The SRT-4 is just a Neon, but us SVT owners just drive Contours. Comparing the two is like apples to oranges, granted the few turbo/supercharged SVT's are right on par with the SRT-4's...all they have to do is a few simple mods, and those "Neons" will be running hard as hell!
Would I sell my SVT turboed Contour for an SRT-4...no, but I would sell it for a ZO6, or possibly a C-6....any buyers interested?
