I agree you should wait on V6 MTX. I didn't even test drive the ATX, so I don't know how bad it holds back. Got on the lot and knew exactly the car I wanted, Lapis Blue V6/5spd fully loaded. Took it home the next day! I just got it, so I can't lay into it just yet. But I do like the handling at least! I still think its a blast to drive. Not a drag car by any stretch of the imagination. But that's not what I bought it for anyway. Hell the SVT isn't a drag car anyway.

Well, I know the thing pulls way harder than my brother's contour. However, its no SVT. 95SE w/ 125K!
But I would be happy to take on any New Englanders SVTers at Epping this summer! PM me if your interested in meeting up on a Wednesday night. I hardly ever see CSVTs on street nights.

We don't have any publically available twisty tracks out here in the East (at least not that I know of), but I'll say stock for stock, mod for mod, my baby will hold its own against an SVT.
