"What are they talking about Ford cut power from 200HP to 185HP??? None of the non-SVT Contours ever came 200HP stock."

They are talking about the 3L Duratec Taurus/Sable which went from quasidual to single exhaust in 1998 and dropped 200 to 185 HP. And the 4 wheel discs were gone except for wagons IIRC.
