Ford Contour SVT 0-143mph

[my2006SS]

Need a new clutch, but not bad for pretty much stock

[bstanton7]

slow...

[NASHVILLEVIDEOMAN]

Slipping not sleeping

[NASHVILLEVIDEOMAN]

It also seems that the clutch was sleeping in this video. Notice the delay from revs to speedometer and then how long it takes to grab between shifts.

[NASHVILLEVIDEOMAN]

@KBrock57, actually you could get a manual five speed with 4 cylinder, 2.5 duratec v6, and of course it was the only option in the Svt.

[rijohesa23]

I love my SVT....

[gelatinouslove]

This makes me miss my '98 Contour SVT so much.

[CHOPMOP10]

idk it seemed quick at first but top end is garbage..

[jaaj2]

@CHOPMOP10 Its normal is only a n/a 2.5 v6 with no cam timing .... so sorry but for what he have under the bay this is fast even in top end .

[spermanater6969]

Obviously an SVT you idiots.

[cesarcoply]

i miss my svt

[germansc]

what that your svt has, my svt doesn´t have this power?

[Goldtacto]

@germansc then you must not no how to drive lol

[shesobreezy]

Are all these cars manual

[DUCE2000]

man this seems like an auto but im pretty sure they all came with manuals

[fiatman71]

@DUCE2000

It seems like an auto because this dude can't shift to save his life. Slip the clutch a little more going into 2nd there homey.

[akirakimura2088]

Don't SVTs say "SVT" on the tach? :( ???

[mitch9521]

do these SVT's come in automatic? this one looks like an auto.

[Galidan]

@mitch9521 Just the 5-speed.

[mitch9521]

dont these things come in automatics? or just manuals

[angelqt0319]

My stock svt beat a suped up honda. so fuck hondas

[MawcDrums]

Wow all of these people saying it's not an SVT obviously don't know the sound of the SHO / SVT Contour engine.

[VAspeed3]

@rufusvonstorm --I have to wonder how you had that much trouble. I ran the snot out of mine for almost 300,000 miles, and it kept begging for more. Only broke down once when a gear shifter pin broke; still made it 30 miles home in second gear. Replaced the water pump at 120,000 because I shattered the impeller in a (stupid) street race. Otherwise, belts once, one wheel bearing, alternator (around 220k miles). Oh, and 8 sets of Goodrich G-Force KDW tires at around $700 a set.

[rufusvonstorm]

@VAspeed3 yeah I think it might have done better if it had a stick, always had better luck with MT cars. this was an auto with 110hp or so, and really struggled to get out of its own way. also, it had been a caltrans car so I have no idea how it was maintained in the miles before I got it. in general I tend to like FORD better than GM products, and theyve stepped their game up lately

[mixtape86]

Sweet car. Though is your clutch ok man?

[1993TMAXX]

Hondas better tho

[adslegend]

nice to see it pulling past 6k rpm in 5th...

[BJtheBassist]

I seriously didn't know 4th gear was so TALL! Holy....

[maalrivba]

nice sound

[noptig]

deleted resonator? the resonator is in the muffler right? just take it out right?

[sportscarfan1989]

nice nice needs a clutch haha

[ZIGGYJ94]

and its a sweet car for a 16 year old because its a sedan and it wont kill you to insure it!!! thats why its dope! and ass hole a mustang will!

[rootsmanuva82]

@ZIGGYJ94

Not true. I had a Volvo 850 Turbo wagon (222 hp stock...very quick). I'm 28 with a perfect driving record. Insurance? $72 Mo. I then bought a 95 Ford Taurus SHO(220 hp). Insurance? $148 Mo!!!!! I thought the same thing. 4 door sedan (a Taurus no less) would be cheap on insurance. Not true. The insurance companies know that an SHO is a fast car. The SHO sucked anyway, couldn't wait to sell. I now own a BMW 325is...insurance? $93/mo. Go figure.

[orimabu]

@rootsmanuva82 my ford contour... drum rolls please........................­.......

$32 a month. thanks for USAA and their military benefits. i'm only 19 too so i'm in the statistic range of accidents. hahahahahahahha

[BJtheBassist]

@rootsmanuva82

I'm 21, liability, and I pay $134 a month for a car that's only a month younger than me....

Insurance says 'Taurus', but it's that P54 in the VIN that hurts yah.. >.<

[CrazzyJ88]

@rootsmanuva82 your getting raped on insurance ha im 23 2000svt and i pay 80$ a month with a racing ticket, my 5.0 is 32$

[bigbeans224]

nice video. i didnt know the svt's had a governor but i guess so. i have a se and it will cut off at 110.

[jaaj2]

WOww did u get off the rev limiter ??? because i got an svt and i cannot pass 6600-6800 is impossible to go even a little bit in the red,, and u go in 7000, it just the littile touch i need to do an 0 to 60 in 6.6-6.5 withou chip or any modd

[ajlod934893]

@jaaj2 HP maxes out at 6500, no idea why he's shifting to 7000.

[jaaj2]

@ajlod934893 . Maybe is her tire size are not in 15" or 16" and give wrong speed and rpm is the only way I see or has realy remove the rev limiter

[CrazzyJ88]

@ajlod934893 its 6,700 rpm on a stock car

[zackblezze]

come onn that was some weak shifting

[goodoleboy2008]

i can almost smell the clutch burning

[callbatman]

The VVT 3.0 won't work in it. It would require too many extensive modifications.

[jaaj2]

@callbatman For the 2.5 to put in vvt ,is that its worth, and we talk about how much hp gain and we talk about how much investment ,, i think the best and cheap think to do wit that car is to fit an 3liter on it that wat all poeple talk about

[smokeymasterjedi]

yeah its called piston rings and refreshing of 10yr old engines...... then they go like hell.......buy 3L with VVT and itll save you bunch of crappy add-ons!21HP more than 2.5-3.0L before it!

[ojd1990]

clutch is slipping lol

[abankston69]

i have a 99 cougar with a 3l swap in it....heavily modified runnin 300hp at the wheels and 304t/q...not a bad contour tho

[JoZuko]

wow just wow past 100.,...

[95v8birdy]

is there a way to put better axle ratio in front wheel drive transmissions

[longbeachmustangkid]

dude I wanna buy one and see if I can fit a 5.0 in that bitch.....with a 5spd haha that would be sick.....

[GjonetoOfficialPage]

lol i got a contour v6 as much as i hate it, its served me well. but it's not even worth $1000 on ebay...that sux

[TIMETOFLY27FALCON]

MAN YOU CAN GET A BAD AZZZZ TURBO KIT.

[SicilianSVT]

nice, the fastest i had mine going was 133. had to slow down tho...too many cars coming after i hit 130mph mark. only has a kkm intake and 75mm maf.

[SrtRacerBoy]

0-80 not bad for a heavy car, but after that its just slow. especially around the 110-140 area

[adammdamann]

these cars arent heavy

[CrazzyJ88]

@adammdamann they weigh over 3k

[adammdamann]

@CrazzyJ88 mine doesnt. mines 2800 but its the 4cyl

[nickloss]

I see your right side dash light is burned out too

[ljeby]

Awesome, I had a 99 Contour and 97 Mystique, both Duratec 2.5 V6 24V stock output and crappy auto. Wish I had an SVT

[thatmudbuttstench]

I got mine up to 143 twice.

Once on Christmas morning a couple years back and again the morning after the Super Bowl.

[FordsBetter516]

very good for a car of that age

[SS454Toker]

"poor man's mustang"

[callbatman]

At least its 1) American  2) not a honda

[viktord1]

actually it's European with a different rear end :D

[jschnell106]

No this is an all-American. Platform is shared with Mondeo, but I believe designed in America. The engine is American. This car has no "rear end", it is a FWD car...

[viktord1]

agreed. i think i got it mixed up with the svt focus, which is tuned by Cosworth I believe.

[phillysauce]

SVT engine design was bought from porsche.

[longbeachmustangkid]

ur A dumb shit.....

[viktord1]

may I ask why?

[rufusvonstorm]

I remember my contour well:

Alternator deleted itself at 50k.

Timing belt, pulleys, and tensioner deleted themselves at 55k.

Thermostat deleted itself at 65k.

Yes, the "driver returned on foot" many, many times.

Now have a Honda Accord @ 100k.

Getting bored of not having to replace parts.

[spermanater6969]

@rufusvonstorm Mines at 150000 and i replaced the water pump thats it. Ford= Found on Road Driving

[adammdamann]

@callbatman thats what i tell all my friends about mine

[2005buickallure]

@callbatman Actually a Ford Contour is a Ford Mondeo which was created in Britain.

[KansasFirefighter257]

@SS454Toker oh yeah thats funny dipshit i am sure this poor mans mustang has beat mustangs..check youtube ass cock quit dissing peoples shit when you prolly drive your moms civic

[wootness3000]

@SS454Toker This car gets better gas mileage, has more trunk space, has a back seat, has four doors, has more luxury options, does better in crash tests, rated better for reliability.. so no. Not anything like the Mustang. It's just the smart man's work horse.

[scrateshooter]

@SS454Toker

Really Betty? Autocross much?

[GhostofAkina1]

@SS454Toker, yeah your right only the rich and wealthy own mustangs, not to mention you see one every time you turn your head...

[corkttown]

i agree not an svt, all svts have white glow gauge faces.

[callbatman]

You're an ignorant ass. It is an SVT. I has white face gauges, but they don't glow white.

[mgaffy300csrt8]

dont worry dude theres alot of retards on here that cant tell day from night

[jaaj2]

@corkttown hahah a real pro,, I see that the car had no secrets for you XD!

[FYGblood]

@corkttown ya your a really stupid fuck, i have the same year, and my dash looks just liek that

[spermanater6969]

@corkttown Retard.

[LUARPAPU]

mph o kmh??

[j0n999]

mph

[LUARPAPU]

ok es que yo tengo uno igual y en el velocimetro solo trae hasta 130mph.

saludos!

[j0n999]

can you translate please cause i don't understand/speak spanish

[j0n999]

the shifting between on 2nd gear was close (like when you shift it's already on 6,000 rpm)

[doug1bite]

143 mph is plenty fast, faster you should ever go really unless your trying to drive away from a tornado or something

[KBrock57]

not an svt an se any one could see that

[callbatman]

You're dumb. Its an SVT.

[spermanater6969]

@KBrock57 Retard.

[mystiqueman366]

@KBrock57 hmm i don't think the se has a 160 mph speedometer

[DK99824]

@KBrock57 If I'm correct, only the SVTs came with manual transmissions. GTFO

[UncleHumjaba]

holy clutch slip batman...

[R56Turbo]

0-143 my ass ;)

[thatboy575m]

had my svt to 155

[callbatman]

only if you changed the PCM, they have fuel shut-off at 143mph

[thatboy575m]

dont kno what the guy before me did but she will roll down to 7600 rpm

[curancho]

I see that you have the top speed limiter, you should get rid of it, because it's clear how in fifht gear rev cannont pass 6000 and it can easily get up to 7200 maybe 150 mph top speed

[callbatman]

yeah, its limited to 143mph

[SrtRacerBoy]

it doesnt look like it has a speed limiter, it goes past 6k rpms in fifth

[saomaino]

the fastest i've been on my Contour is 102mph...  but it's a GL model. Rides and handles good, but stuff always break... Ford and its cheap suppliers suck.

[gspot02]

the fastest ive been in a contour svt is 150

[573W1E6R1FF1N]

Cool - Nice Mondeo!

[curancho]

in fact it was called mondeo in europe instead of contour SVT the named it mondeo ST 200 is the same body the same engine the only diference is the back bumper and tail lights but of exactly the same, many ignorants just gave down points LOL I support you

[j0n999]

it's a ford contour not a mondeo.

[pedro0208]

and after one whole minute you made 143 mph awsome!!!!! -good game-

[ABeans07]

pretty slow launch

[callbatman]

Original clutch...

[whodoescare]

you really like to shift at the VERY last second, where did you do this at mustve been a nice stretch of road with no cops around :)

[cougarguy1802]

redline is in fact 7 but modified can be up to 8200 but normally people do 7200-7400 with the svt cams, very rigerous durability testing was put into these motors at redline conditions for hours on end. just not for sweeping right hand turns lol. my .02
