I'm modding mine and buying a SVT just to have fun on the side. (the GL is a project car.... SVT will be collectors car/toy.
You see Evos a lot?  I barely ever see any (except for mine).

LIke stated above. Keep it and use it as a daily driver and find yourself an SVT to pour your $$$$ into.

What backwoods planet are you from? I missed where Evo's were sold as fleet vehicles. That's the most retarded excuse I've ever heard. Even if it were true who wouldn't want an Evo or STi over a freakin Contour. Kids are the only ones broke enough and dumb enough to make up an excuse to not get a vehicle like that.

todd, i'd rather have an svt contour over an evo or sti any day. Sorry, but if I drive around, I will see atleast a dozen of each every day. There are way too many of them here due to the manheim auto auction.

So true.....i would love to have a svt i love the way they look and there pritty fast(stock) they have like 170hp stock which is a good base to work with.I just did intake on the tour does anybody know what ur supposed to do with the long breather looking thing? i have a zetec. Also im really thinkin bout keeping it save up alot of money do a rebuild on the engine or drop in a 3L or v6 the more i mod the tour the more i wanna keep it and not get rid of it i also cleared my headlight len's today they look brand new.Does anybody know of any mods that can get u easy hp without speadin alot of $??
