I've heard the 4-banger is heavier. Cast Iron vs. Aluminum, you know. SVT has power seats and windows, leather, body crap... I've said it before: give me a 95 SE over a 1998-9 SVT any day. 2000 is a tougher call.

The Zetec is not heavier than the Duratec V-6, but it's only (IIRC) about 40 lbs lighter because of the materials choice (iron.)
Was the 2000 SE available with leather?

Roger: I don't know if you could get leather or not in 2000 SE. I did not want it so did not look for it.
Kremit: I only see listings for the escort in H-Stock (I am assuming it is completly stock) If it has mods that class would change.

I just saw the latest correction to the Oct Fastrack and sorry to those that wrote in to try to move the contour but. Quote:
Member letter 05-164 - Reclassify Ford Contour to H Stock - Not recommended

They are waiting until after nationals to decide on the MSP so I am still hoping for it to move down.
