And that was an 03 Lightning. As for the 6 speed tranny, when I talked to SVT the guy said that the tranny was in talk and he said that they are leaning towards the manual. Take it as you may, I will find the car and driver if it was in the mag and post the pics and if it was the show I will ask my brother in law, he had recorded every car and driver that featured the SVT Lightning, since he has an 01 with a 100 shot and will soon be installing a performance pack from rpm outlet that is supposed to pack an extra 130 at the wheels!!!! Still workin on her!!!!!!!

As for my numbers on the SRT-10 check out the latest MotorTrend. 1/4=13.86 @ 101.49mph So I was off by .03 I will also stand behind my 5200lb claim, considering Autoweek lists it as 5150lbs. -Mark 1999 Black-N-Tan SVT Contour #291 Check out CD338.com:: The Premier Ford Fusion Site!
