There is a guy at XTRracing that owns a SVT Contour with a Vortec and other go-fast goodies. I drive a Focus which is very slow for now.

Yea Steves Contour is sweet. Im actually looking for an SVT myself. It seems like theyre kind of hard to find. If anybody knows of one for sale let me know.

Just look at AutoTrader.com . I was looking for one a few years back and they were for sale all over the place. I know of one for sale over in California if that helps you out any.

Dont sport a Contour? If I had the chance Id trade in my ZX3 for a SVT Contour any day. Im so damn tired of this lethargic Zetec.

bottlefed...check out the AutoTrader online. Last time I checked they had a few in there. Also look at the classifieds in www.contour.org . There are usually a few for sale there.

Just got this off of the SCOA mailing list:

Dont know how far youd be willing to go for it though...
Didnt see any other SVTs out there...

The reason I was looking for one was b/c I have a little one on the way and have to get a 4-door for the old lady. But I cant talk her into getting a 5-speed. And I would prolly end up driving it most of the time. Its real hard for me to get some cookie-cutter sedan. Oh well...thanks for the ad anyways.

heheh I tried to do the same thing last year with my wife...
(Im in the little one on the way spot myself now too)

She wouldnt go for the SVT Contour though because she thought the body was too narrow and she felt confined in there... what she really wanted was an SHO!

But she settled for a new Durango SLT+.. though she HAD to have the 5.9 in it...
