Maybe something like a 3L mazda 6 would be closer. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

I'm thinking factory tuned compared to factory tuned and the total package for the price and like the SVT what "sporty coupes" you can walk on and how you compare to way more expensive performance sedans. I'm not big on the turbo 4 but all wheel, 270hp, nice interior, 5 lug 18's, 17 in disc's at all 4 corners...... that car's going to be hard to front on...

Mazda was going for BMW 3 territory with drive and feel as was SVT with the Contour. I think they both did a great job. The MPS 6 is going for Audi Quattros and the like. It is not an All out performance car. Its a more aggressive blend of luxury and performance with a 29K(or more) price tag. Last edited by Lee; 10/15/04 05:33 PM. Lee Cox No Contours to speak of...

I base this on the cars, not numbers made or anything like that. Just the ms 6 will be a much quicker/better handler than the svt. No real comparison between the two seeing as the ms 6 has a good bit more power and awd. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15
