Svt Contour - 02_svt_guy - 03-02-2007
So i was on my way back from the gym and i found myself next to a svt contour of all cars
middle aged man, gives me the thumbs up
then punches it
there was noone around for like 500m
i downshift to 5th at 100kmh
he gets the jump off the go but i start pulling on him...
i then pass him and put bout 2 lenghts on him from 100 to 160kmh
nice car pretty rare!
nice guy
i think my mods are starting to pay off

So did he roll over or what? I dont get your topic? and what are you thinking driving 160 clicks in this weather?

my friend has an SVT contour and ran a tenth slower than me in the 1/4 mile but I'm sure it would school me on the high way!
I really love those cars I know four people with them here in windsor...

SVT countour should beat the SVT focus every time, stock for stock. Comes down to driver.
Svt Contour - NikiterZTS - 03-02-2007
^^yea don't they have 200hp to flywheel stock?

What have you heard?

I heard the head cracks on them. When it cracks you get one free one, then after that its out of your own pocket.

A roll refering to the fact that we were not stopped on the highway. hence tires rolling....
160kmh it was -2 out maybe.. no snow, no rain, dry roads, straight strip.
i saw no prob besides the ovious of getting pulled over

Cool! Always nice to meet/see another SVT owner as they are not very common on the Praries. I think there are only 1 or 2 SVT Contours in Winnpeg. Can't be that many more in SK. I've only seen one once. From what I read they were pretty close in the 1/4 mile to the SVTF, with only .2 or .3 sec difference between them. Obviously they would have the advantage from a dead stop due to the torque of the V6. There was always debates on this on SVTOA.com about which was better or faster (CSVT or SVTF).

I think my bolt-ons might of helped me edge him out 2
Svt Contour - FocusGuy7476 - 03-03-2007
there are a couple of CSVTs out in Sask that I've seen.
02_svt_guy, what do you have done for modes, cause I really doubt an intake and coilpack would have him beat.
Svt Contour - NikiterZTS - 03-03-2007
^^^its the short shifter :lol:
Svt Contour - zx5power - 03-03-2007
Theres like 2 ive seen in new brunswick so far but im pretty sure they were both up by bathurst .
Svt Contour - NOS2Go4Me - 03-03-2007
ZTWSquared has/had one. They're nice cars, I had a good look at his last summer when he bought my old 5-spoke rims.
Nice roll. They're definitely 200BHP, so with a competent driver it could pose a problem. The extra cog for the Focus couldn't hurt though.

i've seen his in person....and it was regular not svt.....unless he had contours
Svt Contour - euro_zx5 - 03-03-2007
Yeah, all he had was an exhaust, and intake I believe. SVT Contours are great looking cars, but I have only heard of issues with the regular Contours/Mystique's and not the SVT counterparts.
Svt Contour - FocusGuy7476 - 03-03-2007
just for some stat on the SVTC, there where some changes intake manifold in 99 which uped the power.
'98 to '98.5 have 195HP and 165 lbs/ft, '99 to 2000 have 200HP and 169 lbs/ft. its also has a 4.06 to 1 final drive. SVTF final drive is 2.88 to 1 in 5th gear.
I think the guy was just playing around with you out on the highway.
Svt Contour - Drivesthebeast - 03-03-2007
I think the SVT Conti woulda had you on the highway too...think he was sandbaggin it...
Svt Contour - 02_svt_guy - 03-04-2007
i dunno guys he went but 1 thing i didnt mention though is it was auto.
i guess ill find out how fast i am this summer when i take it to the track but im sure im gonna put down a 15.1 - 15.3
