Why would it seem impossible for a Cougar that weighs quite a bit less and has a large amount of computer upgrades and bolt-ons run the same if not a little better?? Very conceivable if you ask me. I didnt understand your remarks on the trap speed, gonna have to speak to me like a 15 year old i geuss

ok i dunno why im even up this late but whatever , i dont doubt your time (actually i do) .... but i realize from the trap speed this is probable a GTECH time and not a actual TRACK TIME, because you have no clue about the 60'ft and the trap speed and are obviously out of your mind if you think stock svt contours do mid 14's as well (LOOK AT MY NEXT POST FOR ACTUAL SVT CONTOUR STATS).....

GTECH SAID MY JEEP 1988 did 15.4@99mph... i can tell you that my speedo said 79mph...

if it WAS at a track im telling you without the use of nitrous oxide it is IMPOSSIBLE for the amount of mods you have to do 103.2mph in the 1/4mile
FYI COUNTOURS DO LOW 15's STOCK.... AND THERE TRAP SPEED IS LOW 90's... SO WITH JUST 100 lbs lighter and about the same amount of hp you run 10mph quicker???? OK BRO !

COMPARO :STOCK MUSTANG 5.0.... runs about 95mph in the 1/4mile to run 104.11mph in the 1/4 for me required: GEARS, UPPER AND LOWER INTAKE, INJECTORS, RAM AIR INTAKE, FULL NON CATALYTIC EXHAUST, UNDERDRIVE PULLEYS, and free mods....

OVERALL GAIN: 9.11mph

STOCK 2.5L DURATEC V6 COUGAR runs about mid 80 traps in the 1/4 mile... and your telling me that you gain 17mph in the 1/4 mile with the same mods and LOWER GAINS AND LESS GEARING??? NOPE try again... maybe with nos, but EVEN WITH IT ID WAVE THE BS FLAG... ive seen these cars and it takes POWERADDERS to run that trap speed....


its NOT FEASIBLE FOR A 165-170FWHP CAR WITH about 2900-3000 RACE WEIGHT TO RUN 103.2 maybe 14.4 but not the said trap speed.
my car is 230rwhp and with a 2778 race weight runs consistent 13.5@104's and your telling me without nos from a roll youd be at my door at the end of the 1/4 mile??? when i have hp advantage (60+RWHP), weight advantage(200+lbs), gearing advantage(3.73's), and torque advantage(100+RWTQ)?? cmon POST THE SLIPS
