ZTWSquared has an AWESOME SVT Contour. Words don't do it justice. Sadly, I'd think such a car now falls squarely in the "fanaticism" category for price - either it's trashed and not worth saving, or it's pristine and you're paying through the nose.

I'm not sure what the rear seats are like, never got a chance to sit in Ken's. I wish Ford made more cars like that - a small, well-tuned V6 with lots of twist to it. Well, there's the Fusion with the 3L Duratec... that car's playing bad-cop to the Focus' good-cop routine lately :D

I'd love to get my hands on an SVT contour. There are a few guys with 320+ K on those motors and they're still solid.

But in this case i dont think a 8+ year old car is an option for meford.
