Handling

[96SNAKE]

I felt the same way about the differences between my Probe and my Cobra. That changed after a few mods to the Cobra. The springs, subframe connectors and shocks will help bigtime. Bigger wheels like my 9.5's doesn't hurt either. Add Ford Racing rear upper control arms and you'll be feeling really good. I have Steeda rear lower control arms going in next week and I'm excited abut this mod as well.

Anyway, the Contour may feel like it handles better but go out and push both cars to the limit and tell me which feels better. My Probe has an ideal 50/50 weight distribution but it still doesn't feel as confidence inspriring as my Cobra at the limit. I bet I would absolutely destroy my Probe on a road course and I think you would do the same to the contour. The rear drive and extra power can't be beat.. Let us know what you think after a few suspension mods..
