When looking at the 0-60 mph times posted in magazines for the contour svt, that may include a few different factors that we aren't thinking of, such as how they launched, but more importantly I'm sure someone else here has noticed that when you are shifting in an svt (this is the case in mine) that 2nd gear redlines at 55 mph, so you have to take in the fact that another shift will take in maybe 1/2 a second or so...my point is that if you compare the csvt's 0-55 mph times with other cars, I bet it would do significantly better than when you compare it's 0-60 mph time.
