My '95 has them, the reason could be that it was made in September '95. There seems to be some wrong info in there. The split seats were standard on the LX and SE for '95 model year but not available on the GL. In '96 it became an option for the GL. I have a '95 GL parts car that says otherwise. Split folding in it. BrApple-its all in the way it is presented...but everythign on my resume is all me TexasRealtor-I hope you spelling improves on your resume.

I don't know which part is my favorite; the hazed headlights, the dirty hubcaps, or the two-tone Silver Frost paintjob. Honestly my non-SVT Contour looks about as bad as this one, and I certainly wouldn't want it to be representing the entire model line. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer.

" I thought the 99 recieved a different fuel system which changed the hp? Am i worng here. So i guess c/d was wronge maybe? I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Anyone can write an article and anyone can ammend it. However, this part of the article is correct. The 5 hp increase for the SVT did come in 99 and it was due to more extrude honing. The change to the returnless fuel system mid model year in 99 did not effect the power rating. At or about the same time, the displacement was changed with a slightly smaller bore to better match European engine sizing standards and the compression on the SVT was raised from 10.0:1 to 10.25:1 to keep the power the same.
