I'll say it again ... The SVT Contours were run down the same line , at the same time as all other Contours . They were not made on another line , not off in a corner , not by special hands , not in another facility , etc , etc . Apart from the pre-production CSVT's getting a couple "extra looks" , they were surrounded on the line by all other trim levels of Contours . There is no mystery here .
