Yeah, I got bored and pulled out the G-Tech and decided to give my '99 Contour SVT a try.

With the pilot bearing going out, I didn't want to launch at too high of the rpm and feather the clutch. Pushing my car home didn't seem like a good idea.

So, I got to a good stretch of flat, straight road without anyone on it, set up the G-Tech, and dropped the clutch from about 2000rpm. I still spin the fronts a little (god damn front wheel drive) and power along through the gears.

I tried it twice (don't want to beat it up too much), and the best I got was a 0-60 of 6.7 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 15.2 at 94.3 mph. When the car first came out, I heard reports of 14.9 1/4 times, but I was always skeptical about that. Now that I actually tried it with a G-tech, I think those time would be quite possibly on a sticky track with a good clutch and whatnot.

Current atmosphere:
64 degrees Farenheit
49% humidity
Overcast
6 mph wind from the NNE
Pressure 30.07in. and rising

I was driving north.

Not too shabby for a 4 door, front wheel drive, daily driver that averages 280 miles on a tank. Surely, it's slower than my FB, but the FB no longer runs, and I used to wish for 180 miles on a tank.

So, what do your DDs run, guys?

My DD is slower by a few tenths, my LT1 FC and '72 Dart should beat the Contour by a couple seconds in the 1/4, my van would almost give you enough time to make a sandwich and eat it before it reaches the 1/4 mile mark, but it tows cars well. Car work is pretty much on hold at the moment. Once the house is done, we've moved in and get the place set up then car work will resume. I expect a 3 month hiatus. Then we'll have to see if the Dart or the RX-7 gets fired off first. I may have to get the Dart going 1st as I'm getting a bit tired of the Talon and I can fit the kids in the Dart.

daily driver that averages 280 miles on a tank.
damn... thats it?

My pickup makes ~ 350 miles per tank and the work pickup makes ~ 400 miles on one tank.

Then again, the tanks are probably 4 times as big :wiggle:
