G20 "t" is for Touring like all other Infinitis. No turbos under that hood.

I used to think that... way back when ... I thought it had a SR20DET under the hood and the J30Ts were Turbo VGs. Hahah.. but then once I got into high school it all cleared up.

yup. comes from the factory with the lowered suspension, thicker rear sway bar, leather seats, 5 speed, extrude honed intake, dual exhaust, body kit, 200 HP, etc...

i've left mine mostly stock except for the stereo. Ford stereos suck BIG TIME! and i have some small mods to take care of this spring.

check out http://www.contour.org for more info. i am one of the moderators over there and all are welcome! the CSVT isn't a bad car. there are some things inherently wrong with owning a Ford product, but if you're handy and patient, they are easily fixable.

this is actually my second contour. previous to this i had a 1995 base-model 4-cyl GL (MTX) with some little tricks. Superchip, intake, optimization, stereo, rims, etc.. it was understated, but easily could hit 130 on the highway. it surprised a lot of folks, even the other CSVT folks. on our trip to michigan, some of the guys had a tough time keeping up! LOL!

anyways. i'll post some more pics this spring (IF IT EVER COMES) after Zaino and fixing some little annoyances.

and my other car is a 1974.5 MGB GT. one of about 1250 imported to the US.

i also have a yellow 1979 MGB roadster, but i am not sure if it will become a parts car or if it is salvagable. we'll see this summer!
