Well duh we can all go out and buy a RWD sports car that is made to handle 400hp, but guys like me enjoy CHEAP INSURANCE and FWD FOR THE WINTER. Compare apples to apples and see if the SVT or cougar with a TC is a poor car.[/b]I dunno where you live, but insurance on a 1990 TTZ is actually the same as my 98 SVT was for me. Not to mention the SVT isn't really that great of a winter car, though I managed to limp through a few winters w/o drama.
Let's all get real.. The reason people don't want to get rid of their Contours is because 90% of people are upside down on their loans because of the pitiful resale value of these cars. So they feel they have to make the best of a bad situation by modding their current ride.
