RSX -S is not included. Well price wise it shouldn't be. Try cornering in one of the VW's? Plow. I see the point though. 1 chip and some suspension components and it will be hard to beat.

You know the last shot of the front looks pretty nice. But those side and rear shots just kill it for me. UGLY!!!! frown

The interior does look nice though. wink

Hhmmm..it looks good in red..

As for the VW's you guy are 100% on the money about both the GTI and 1.8T being faster but they handle like crap. Even the GTI has a overly soft suspension. So after you send 21K on a GTI you have to send another grand or so to get the thing to handle and then it voids you factory warrenty.

Just a thought

My brother has the 2001 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition, and it handles exceptionally well. They do offer a suspension package that really helps the overall driving experience for the "enthusiast". You're right about the stock suspension, though. It pretty much blows mud. The Wolfsburg comes with the upgraded suspension BTW smile

The interior feels decades ahead of the Contour. I love my tour, but I wish it had an interior design like the Focus SVT. The two I've driven were very well put together, interior wise.

Why is that thing on Ebay anyway? Is there a run on those puppies in the USA? I just went to Parkway here in Waterloo and they have no less than 3 SVT Foci there.
