I'd find a way to graft mustang suspension components (front and rear) to the Contour's Chassis.



Utter blasphemy.

Look, my point wasn't so much "old" vs "new." My point was that some other outfit did a rwd on a Focus, kept the indy suspension, improved the weight balance tremendously, used the legendary Cossie 2.0, and ended up with a monstrous, but very streetable Focus. Without adding 300 lbs in driveline weight.
