Well guys, I have had a great time with the good old CSVT. What a great car, no problems with 50,000 miles. I own a mobile detailing business, and the contour just couldn't haul all of the stuff around. I needed something bigger and badder. (there's not much else out there better than the CSVT... in terms of price especially). So, I upgraded, and got myself a '99 SVT Lightning. Gotta stay with SVT! Let me just tell you all.. if you are looking to upgrade, and need a truck... by no means... get nothing except for the Lightning. I ran it with just a K&N 12'' cone filter last week and turned a 13.3 @ 104. What a blast... easy to drive, and pulls .89g's in the corners.

Anyway guys, I really appreciate all the information, pictures, meets and fun in the past 2 years. I didn't post much, but I was an addicted surfer! Some of my favorite CSVT's were Antonio, PhatSVT, BeyondloadedSE for having the baddest pre-98 contour anywhere. Also thanks to Terry Haines, Chris Hightower and Bnoon for being the brains of many projects and developments. All in all, just a great experience here. Also, the guy buying my car is getting the turbo kit... god bless his soul!!! Take care all, and thanks for a great time!

No need to be a stranger. Lots of trolls, here.

Good luck with your business, too.
