$$$ You forgot to throw in the comment about the new brake system you will be needing. The wimpy stock brakes are NOT going to stop the car if you stomp the brakes at over 150mph, even if you upgrade to performance pads. Been there, done that!!! You will need the same type brakes that they put on the Porches and Ferraris.
98 SVT Contour, few mods, Autobahn raised, 160+mph (downhill with tailwind)
