There is no way a stock Contour SVT ran into the 13's
Mabe low 15's
I bought one new in 2000 I had it 145 according with speedo and it
handled it very well. If you have never driven one you should not be quick to judge.
If you told someone that is not up on late model performance that a 4x4 would run into the 10's on street tires, They would call you a Liar.
Sometimes 1 ride can make a believer out of the biggest sceptic.

i signed it. without the L and the srt10 (to a lessor extent) GM will never need to make a performance from the factory truck. GM enthusiasts loses out when teh L isnt produced
