I really like mine alot, lots of fun. I was planning on going the M3 route at some point but as much cheap fun as I'm having, it may be awhile. I think SVTs have gotton a new lease on life with cheap big power options. I mean dropping in a new $1000 3L block and $500 Quaife and making 250-300 HP, enough to just surprise the crap out of anybody who thinks a Contour is a boring kid hauler is just CRAZY. But for now, just a few tweaks and I'm happy..
