SVT Tour Has 2 Coarses Of Rice For Supper

[FLuiDSVT]

Alright...So I was on Arapahoe road in Englewood, CO heading east arount peoria..I pulled up to a light behind two civics both with exhaust, intake, etc..one was red (ex for sure) and one was darker colored (maybe black si). I wasn't really thinking any thing of it but when the light went green they both dumped clutches and took off racing eachother. I eased off my clutch behind the red one and then floored it..got in the right lane..shifted 2nd as I was passing both of them...shifted third...let off...I shifted no higher the 6000 rpm and easy shifts..I was easily 10 car length from the faster darker one in 3rd..I had a 180lb passenger and my car is running like crap with my CEL on...Oh well...It get's fixed monday..Later! Lemme know if it was you!

[WestTexasRiceBoy]

DO you actually expect us to believe your story? Its a joke. A car that runs 15.6 couldnt pull 10 car lengths and 3 cylnder geo metro if the metro took off first and you shifted at 6000rpm and easy shifts.

GOT TO CALL BS ON THIS STORY

13.6 ? you wanna run my "civic" ???????

[69fastback]

forget the car i wanna now how loud that stereo is.

[LT WHAT?]

first off i thought all SVT's were auto? maybe not.

and yea i wanna know how loud that shit is too.

[FLuiDSVT]

The cougar is a 12 second all street car at sea level...I drive it 40 miles each way to the track...
Jay..I'll run your civic...if you lived in colorado
LT - All SVT's are 5 speed...
As for the stereo in the SVT...I have only had in for a few weeks...Haven't had it tested yet....Excellent sound quality...10's are real fast and punchy....but whn you run 3 they become pretty deep...I would guess it would be in the 144-148 db range....not bad for low watts

It's quicker than that. With a good driver you can hit 14.9's with it. 15.1-15.2 seems to be the norm. I've seen a few of them run at my track

[FLuiDSVT]

That 15.6 is fords spec in 99 from the sales brochure....I am in Denver - a mile high....my car will never see 14's in current form. Other members of http://www.contour.org in the east coast are running as fast as 14.7's with stock SVT's.
