Depending on what you are currently driving, you may not like what you end up with as much as you are thinking.
If you're moving out of an SVT Contour, your acceleration and passing power is significantly less. O the other hand your handling will improve. The seats are ass compared to an SVT Contour, most people dislike them, but the rest of the interior is better, in terms of materials, and fit and finish. Basically it's a win/lose situation as there are some areas each is better in.
If you own any other model in the contour range, including V6/mtx, you will be happy, acceration seems about the same, and your handling, braking, etc... will all be better.
I went from a V6/mtx to a ZX5 and although I miss the secondaries opening (if they felt like it) I don't really miss much else. Although I only spent a small amount of time behind the SVT's wheel, I wish I'd known the ZX5 SVT was on the way, I would have waited.
