Redline5th -> Contour SVT (9/4/2003 11:17:43 PM)

What's the fastest year? Need to know the 0-60 and 1/4th...

not sure on 1/4 but stock SVTs hit 60 in about 7.5. 1999 model

mdvaldosta -> Contour SVT (9/4/2003 11:25:14 PM)

99 and up had 5 more hp than the rest, speed on all of them were the same I think, like 7.2 sec 0-60 and 1/4 mile at 15.2 in Car and Driver Magazine for the 98 (my wife owns one thats how I know lol)

Redline5th -> Contour SVT (9/4/2003 11:26:30 PM)

oh ok, well then the Nissan Maximas are much faster! Some of them go 0-60 in like 6.7!

Redline5th -> Contour SVT (9/4/2003 11:27:23 PM)

95-96 SE 5spd by the way...I was just wondering how it compared to it...

frostymug -> Contour SVT (9/4/2003 11:28:37 PM)

ya. Ford's official 0-60 blurb was at 7.9, but that was quite conservative. I've heard anywhere from high 6s to high 7s.


Can't argue with someone who owns one though. I got as far as a test drive before I decided on something else

Redline5th -> Contour SVT (9/4/2003 11:32:36 PM)

it's still a great car! sporty suspension ect. looks great...just not as peppy as the Maximas are... are the stats your telling me with auto or 5spd?Redline5th37868.9813310185

All the SVT Contours are 5sp.  The car looks great and my wife wanted a sporty 4dr car from Ford, besides the SHO's are butt ugly. 

frostymug -> Contour SVT (9/4/2003 11:41:59 PM)

At the time my options were Contour SVT or V6 Mustang. Being a thinking man, I knew that if I got a V6 Mustang then, I would have no shot at another one later, regardless of engine size, due to tight interior. I also knew that getting the SVT would have put us in a bit of a money crunch as well as losing much of the better performance sell with my wife. So we got a Taurus.


Now she has a Wrangler and I have a GT that cost less than the Taurus did at the time. 0% financing and they paid off Taurus plus gave 4K on sticker price. Can't complain.


Moral is... sometimes the shortest distance between two points is NOT a straight line.


Redline5th -> Contour SVT (9/5/2003 12:38:13 PM)

well a few suspension mods will fix that

Redline5th -> Contour SVT (9/5/2003 4:23:06 PM)

some of the maximas are equal to a mustang (to60) someone said like 6.5 to 6.7 stock! (SE 5spd) and that's what the 5.0's are like, right?

DJ605389 -> Contour SVT (9/9/2003 11:29:27 PM)

I own a 98 Contour GL with a zetec I4 engine and auto trans. The suspension need to be better, (dropped 1.5 - 2 inches by use of coil overs) but the 0 - 60 is real respectable with it at 6.5. The engine and trans (both auto and 5speed) were designed by Porche. www.contour.org for more info!!

Hey I have a show they arnt that ugly .... And a sho wax's  svt contours and alot of 5.0s in my town

DJ605389 -> Contour SVT (9/11/2003 7:28:11 AM)

SVT Contours come equipt with the same engine standard. To top that off, they are lighter. So any SHO that could beat an SVT would have to be modified.

mdvaldosta -> Contour SVT (9/11/2003 7:39:55 AM)

unfortunately, sho's can easily wax contour svt's, but the are ugly though.  My wife owns an svt contour, so I should know :)

DJ605389 -> Contour SVT (9/11/2003 7:42:14 AM)

If this is true I want to know how they do it. Diff gears or throttle body ETC.

T5superduty -> Contour SVT (9/13/2003 4:27:29 PM)

DJ605389 sorry but you are dead wrong.  A SHO and contour use completly differnt motors.  The SHO uses a Yamaha 3.0 V6 DOHC 24 valve 220 horsepower 200 lb-ft torque. 0-60 6.6 sec 1/4 mile 15.1 VS svt countours 2.5 v6 which is the SHOs baby sister engine , 1/4 mile 16's which uses all duratec engineering.  The SVT would need some upgrades to beat a SHO.  SHOSHOP.com is where I buy my SHO parts, they also have parts for SVT contours check it out.  I wish SVT contours were as fast as SHOs i'd buy one.
