If you get killer deals, I'll bet you can still do an optimized SVT TB and good a good K&N. And clean your intakes, check your plugs. MSDS, SHO-shop Y, custom 2.5" catback; xcal2; 63mm TB, K&N 3530; Koni struts, Aussie bar; THaines forks, Quaife, SpecII, UR fly; DMD; Nima UD pullies; Stazi brakes; f&r Pole120 mounts. Just a daily commuter car. Silver '98 SVT E0 #3159

It is totally a buyers market right now. You can get such a great deal on an SVT that it is almost a no brainer. You will be buying a car with 30 more HP and most likely far more options than the SE. I am ashamed to admit this but I hadn't even heard of the Contour SVT when I bought my tour back in 99. I got a great deal on it but if I had known that I could have paid 5 grand more new, I probably would have done it. Not to mention a lot of the parts you are going to end up replacing aren't going to be aftermarket replacement parts, they are going to be straight up SVT tour parts such as UIM and LIM
