As far as regular contours... 95 SE - rod shifter
SVTs ... probably early 99 ... little extra power, return fuel system though early 98s with horizontal lcas (cost more, but are better design), the calipers (not really a big deal), less decontented
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

Darn, I got my dash fixed for FREE, I don't have an ugly ass clock, and I have SLIGHTLY smaller calipers. I should have bought one of the 98's with the narrower, less sporty tires, non-revised piston rings, and I believe non-revised shift forks. Which ones sound more important?

I own both Fastdad. The '95 SE MTX is my dd, I really enjoy driving it, and I think in many ways it is a better car. HOWEVER ... there is no f'n way it is quicker than either of the two SVT's I've owned, not even close.
i seriouslt think my old 95 was possesed cuz it wasnt "faster" but in a "race" my svt could not pull on it one bit...dead heat. dont beleve me pm NVS SVT he will tell you...
