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.

well keep us updated.... and post some pics of both cars, cause damn thatll be sweet.

i was readin a bit about the duratech v6 on probetalk, some guys were puttin the 3liter in a probe....kinda cool...... but im workin on buying a really nice white 1996 Ford Probe GT (5speed of course) with leather and about every other option available.

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! :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
