Well, everything went pretty well.
1021 miles in one day! No oil used and no CEL.
Averaged 26.5 MPG with a high of 28.5 and low of 24.5. The 28.5 segment did have a tailwind. I was cruising about 80 most of the time.
The car is a blast! it has more torque that any of the other SVT's I drove and revs right to the hard cut off. It handles like it is on rails and is a joy to drive.
BIG JIM mentioned that the contour was more refined than the SHO it replaces, that is certainly true. Much more poise and less wind noise too.
Since I was home early, I took it through emissions today (which involves an code scan and gas cap test) and it passed. It then set a code a couple hours later.
Could the scan trip a code?
Only bad surprise is the clear coat on the black paint has "crows feet" and I have one headlight and one taillight full of water
I need to search for fixes to drain and seal the lights I guess.
All in all the car is great and I am very happy I went with the 2000 CSVT.
