You can't compare SVT to a regular 4 banger Contour, pricewise. That is like comparing apples to oranges. The SVT has a kick butt body package that puts it into a whole different league as far as style. That's part of why it costs thousands more. Aside from that, there are suspension and braking upgrades, as well as the improved horsepower and TORQUE that the V6 offers. The 4 bangers were designed to sell to grammas
You can compare a SVT and regular Tour because the SVT Contour is just a upgraded Contour. I spent about about $700 on the suspension and guess what it is equal to better than the SVT suspension. I spent $300 on SVT wheels and tires. Now add in the 13K I payed for the car in 2000 (it is a 2000
) We are up to 14k. Add another 5k for the turbo kit and guess what? 19k for a 300hp Zetec that would whoop a SVT easily. How much did a 2000 SVT cost in 2000? About 23K? Enough said. :rolleyes:
