it comes with a 2.5L duratech V6...stock is 170hp. as far as engine mods go, ive added the svt extrude honed upper intake manifold, throttle body, svt exhaust minus the rez, sho shop y pipe, polished aluminum intake pipe, and KKM filter. its got of the svt aesthetic stuff as well, along with molded front fascia. and of course its a stick! the mp5 is a 5 spd as well. by the end of the summer a lincoln ls or a jag x type 3.0L duratech will be going in along with a HMS bulldog box tranny. Street Flight is in the works with a turbo as of right now...still waiting for that to be developed.

onehawaiian says hello.

your contour is pretty cherry! they can look pretty sporty when you mod them, huh? i mean classy and sporty at the same time (like a p5). that's cool!

Welcome to our happy little corner of the net. There is a BIG fridge in

the corner with just about anything you can think of in it...help

yourself...of course only take what you can LEGEALLY have. :{D

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes

off, put your feet up on one of the tables....and take it easy.

oh...btw....everyonce in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may

not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!! :{D
