Mabye a 96-99 v8would be a good race with a svt contour but not no V6, no way in hell. The is no position in which a stock V6 showould losetoa stock svt contour, low end,mid range,high end. even the automatics.

Sorry if i sound rude. And yes the V6 SHO motor is good, but the V8 has cam and crankshaft problems and were only mated to an automatic so they arnt too quick and they got heavier. The V6 SHO is the only way to go. I get over 30mpg when not getting into it, and they are suppose to last for a little over 300,000 miles. Mine has 221,000 miles on it is bone stock still gets 30 mpg and I can still pull of mid 15s in the thing. They are good cars except for the brakes.

Most of those "STOCK" runs were slower than even 15's. What would will they run, I'm guessing that they don't know how to drive...cause they can go faster. RIGHT?</P>

Most people I know could get them into the high 14s stock and new. They were pretty fast for a 4 door family sedan. Back in 1989 it was the fastest sports sedan ever. Pretty good for like no torque and alot of weight and front wheel drive!!!
