I thought it looked a little different though. When I got closer I saw the subtle differences and the test equipment strapped to the outside of the car. The kicker was the taillights. Definitely Mondeo. 2000 Contour SVT #1091 Green with a tan interior All Stock Best 1/4 Mile 15.262 @ 91.06 Intake mods Best 1/4 Mile 14.901 @ 93.33 "But I'll tell you one thing. There's nothing like building up an old automobile from scratch and wiping out one of these Detroit machines. That'll give you a set of emotions that'll stay with you. Know what I mean? Those satisfactions are permanent."

I've never seen one in person before. 2000 Contour SVT #1091 Green with a tan interior All Stock Best 1/4 Mile 15.262 @ 91.06 Intake mods Best 1/4 Mile 14.901 @ 93.33 "But I'll tell you one thing.
