and ive been wanting to ask....whats the difference between the svt contour and the regular contour....my dads contour (2.0L DOHC w/ ztek) is SLOW to say the least......
The SVTs were only made from 1998-2000. Sparkie is right in that they have a 2.5 V6. Some guys put in 3L Duratec V6s and run them naturally aspirated or they might use forced induction. It is by no stretch of the imagination a "drag car" in being that in stock form they will run ~15s, but they sure are a blast to drive in that they handle so well.
Here are some of unique features of the SVT,

-larger front brakes, 10.94" vented front rotors
