i agree, the added weight doesn't allow for the xtype to be any faster. but remember...the newest SVT is a 2000. there are hardly any in the US that aren't high milage or heavily modded. conversly, there are tons of xtypes with low milage...hell, there are NEW xtypes!
i want to buy a ford...i've owned 10 in the past 20 years, and i like them. the mondeo/contour/mystique is the perfect size, and the jag is the "nicest", if not fastest.
