As it turns out, my wife loves the SE! It'll be hers. It's blue with everyting except leather and a sunroof. It's a 98 w/ 42k on it for $6750 Funny, NADA adds 500 bucks for low mileage but takes away 400 bucks for being a 5 speed! So anyway, she's getting the SE and we are looking at the SVT for me today! I just gotta sell that damned Explorer. I hope I can do that before the SVT is gone. We will be a 3 Contour family, my daughter has a 98 SE Zetec and I've ordered a new air intake for it. It's gonna' be fun! 98 SE Duratec/MTX Plain Jane (for now) 98SVT #231/6535 Stock www.pbase.com/ddehoyos/svt

I do think you'll win the speed race but I may beat you in response times after a couple of cups of coffee. I think I may come up Friday to see about the Explorer. I have it on Autotrader right now. I am going to ask 13 and see what happens. I still need that ABS fixed though.
