CONTOUR SVT's

does any one have the specs on these cars i drove my buddies and it was very quick for a little compact.

It all depends on the year.

The 98 and 98.5 (E0 and E1) have 195hp. The 99 has 200hp with a compression ratio of 10:1. The 00 also has 200hp, but the engine is 50cc smaller. In order to get the same hp reading, the compression ratio was raised to 10.25:1.

Hope this helps, I know you posted this a while back, but better late then never, right? ;)

I'll never understand why the didn't toss this engine into the Cougar. It had the looks but the motor was a little under powered. :(

The Contour SVT is a pretty nice car.

Actually, the 2.5 V6 is the same in the Cougar and CSVT. The CSVT just has more engine mods. The 2.5 V6 in the Cougar is the same as the 2.5 V6 in the newer Contour SE. I would agree though, 170hp for that 2.5 V6 isn't nearly enough for the Cougar. I like my 200hp CSVT.

Thanks.

i like my 294 hp SVT ;)

294 hp! And I thought the stock ones were fast...:D:D

That does sound very appealing. :D

That does sound nice... mine is a bit over 200hp now, so I can live with that. I'm still waiting to see what type of 2003 models come out. I want a new car :D

I think from what I have been reading, Mercury is supposed to be getting a version of the Mondeo soon. I just hope so, my first car was a Contour SVT '98, granted it wasn't a super speed demon it was fast.

correction to tommys info he posted:)

the contour svt tested was 6.9 0-60 for 99-00 and 7.1 for the 98's

the 7.6 0-60 was fords conservative ratings:)



and mine is a "tad" bit quicker;) that little vortech helps out

SVT Contour: :dogpile: I love this car, but at the time I got my 2, it was too expensive for me. Does anyone have any pics of their rides?

mine has 240hp but mine is a sport se with 99 svt engine what a sleeper.

The SVT was a cool car. Didn't get much respect, but was fast.

Do you think It ought to have had more respect 450HPviper? Sounds like you can post your opinion on that, I would like to hear it.:)

The 2000 contour SVT pushed out 200HP and 169lbs per ft. It had a 2.5 v-6. Scott, that is a 2.5 pushing out the same amount of power as your 3.8.:D It only weights about 3100lbs. So it will go.

Maybe now you should give it some respect.:finger:

No b/c its got them 3 ugly letters I hate! SVT!!!!!!!!:mad: :devil: It means it has some kind of an upgrade. I bet my car pushes a ton more than that.

SVT can kick your ass Scott, so I would shut up if I were you.

Yep, i will probably get all kinds of ford people in here telling me shit to get me pissed.

Yes, I am one of them.:flipa:

Shiiiiit I'll give you the finger back. :finger:

af's first offical member boxing match scott 02 vs. 450hpviper
i swear you two fight all the time, you two were fighting in another thread i was lookin at
but hey whatever floats your boat
if you are so bad stop talkin shit on the internet it isnt that cool

We just goof off. We are in the same grade at the same school. LOL I accedently got him banned once.:D Well it was more his idea than mine.....

what mods do you have other than a chip and intake?

Don't feel it yet.

well as you know chip and intake, exsult system. and top end work. it`s a fun ride. just killed another civic with turbo . see out there

hmm...i guess im just a little skeptical. assuming the mtx-75 has a drivetrain loss of 17.5%, that works out to be 205 fwhp (240hp). We have a guy on contour.org with a 2000 svt hp and is pretty much modded to the max without head work.

Some of his mods include: TRIPLE extrude honed upper intake manifold port matched to the an optimized LIM, optimized throttle body, msds port matched and optimized headers, under drive pulleys, tweecer fuel management, custom true dual exhaust....the list goes on. his dyno before msds headers, true dual exhaust, and tweecer was 192 fwhp.

his website can be seen here (http://www.contour.org/carprofile/carprofile.php?a=display&uid=400)

but if you can prove me wrong and show a dyno plot and ill believe you. :)

it`s been a while but i`ll look, there are some out runnig paxton on there but not me there is one with tiwn turbo. all i know is there is very few cars around here. that can touch it. it`s still a fun ride. see you out there and i wil look at the other site.:devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: see you out there.

only vortech makes a sc kit for the contour/cougar. however, an eaton sc was used on cougar eliminator. twin turbos are not even remotely possible, lol! the street flight turbo kit is already a tight squeeze with a single turbo. have you even looked at the space underneath your hood?! :eek:

Thanks.
also the contour is an svt motor so its better in than the cougar motor anyday

the svt and non svt V6 duratec engines are essentially the same. The duratec was originally designed by Porsche and Ford then took the design and "fordarized" if you will. The svt motor just got the extrude honed UIM and primary port heads, bumped compression, aggressive cams and tuning, quasi dual exhaust, etc. Yes, the svt motor is better than the non svt because of the extra 25-30 hp depending on which year. But the 3.0L duratec in the Taurus is better yet.:smile:

I like my 300 HP, 265-270 ft-lbs torque 99ContourSVT!

:tongue:

you guys impressed with the 294 hp svt? I got one just like it for sale. Vortech supercharger. Very low price, but not negotiable. Let me know.

My kit is finished for the 2.5L V6. $4000 will get you 255FWH (Mustang dyno underload). And really not a tight sqeeze as you think. I'll post pics REAL soon. Car is getting a clutch and LSD put on right now.
