the fsvt sounds positively tame compared to the csvt. I'm still impressed the csvt can make the sounds it does...

Sweet! Saw my first FSVT on the road the other day just like that one.

Can someone photochop the F wheels onto the C? The proportions and lighting being the same should make it very realistic.

Apples and Oranges...The Contour SVT sounds positively tame compared to the SVT lightning eek It's hard to compare engine sounds from 4, 6 and 8 cyclinder engines. They each have there own unique, wonderful sounds. I love them all.

nice svts. if i ever got a svt focus, it'd be in that color for sure. you know what's kinda funny? the svt focus is a hatchback, yet it's about 2 inches taller than the svt contour (56.3 in and 54.5 in respectively). i can't imagine owning a hatchback that is taller than a sedan (and the contour really isn't that small of a car, not huge, but not that small either). they just have really high rooflines for hatchbacks, i'm not sure if i'd want that in a hatchback. anyways, sorry for being overly critical. nice cars, and i'm jealous of you :p

No car anymore ;\ (taking a break from driving due to several misfortunate occurances)

The Civic Si is a hatchback and it is 56.5" in height. You must be thinking of the Integras that are really low. The Focus SVT pulls a 0.9+g on the skidpad, that ties or betters the BMW M series cars, who cares what the height is confused All the more headroom for my 6'5" frame laugh The Contour was a squeeze for me.

The Focus gets an unfair rap for being a tiny econo-box, but just look at how big it is next to a Tour!

wink

Those who slam it can go and enjoy the shopping cart Civic Si.
