My SVT pulls way harder than my slushbox Sport. It also handles better, brakes better, squeaks less, looks shinier, growls louder (and that's with a CAI on the Sport) and feels tighter and more responsive. I'm happy.  
I guess I'll have to take one of the local NECO guys' Cougars out to see how a regular 5-speed compares, but according to ov3n (who has a number of mods on his 2.5) my SVT is a shave better.
Of course, this trash-talking is all being done on the most inaccurate dyno of them all -- the butt dyno. Why do people have to be such haters lately?

All I see is bull [censored].....Who cares if its an SVT or a SE....A Contours a Contour. Same goes with Contours and Cougars.
Now i love my car, not the SVT Name plate, but my car.
I wanted it becasue of the extra power and touque it had...since i got it i have droped over 5 grand into the car (only 800 in exterior and interior mods).
I don;t see car as better than anyone elses. Faster, maybe....but that all depends on what people do to there contours and if people can drive.
This whole arguement is just to get people pissed off....just forget about it. I did comparestock SVT to SE v6 both 5 speeds before i bought the SVT...>And i noticed a very appearant diffrence in power infavor of the SVT.
But that was my experience.
Personally, i ahve no problem with peoples opinions on my car in general. But you have to understand that some people will feel like they have to respond to you comments in a defensive manner. Yous hsould have realized this before you posted your statement.
Good Luck

But seriously, I love these kind of threads. It really blows up the egos of those guys w/ "SVT # of #" in their sig.
I really haven't noticed too many people on these boards trying to act like they are better than others because they have an SVT. Get a friggin grip man this is CONTOUR enthusiast group not SVT ot SE enthusiast group. We're all on the same side.I bought my SVT beacuse I liked the extra styling and handling and I really don't give 2 sh!ts about which is faster/better etc etc. Honestly it sounds to me like you have an inferiority complex which is really not necessary...just like bashing fellow CEGers is NOT necessary or warranted. I'm so sorry I am proud of my car and it was limited production and I put the # in my sig...if that bothers you then too friggin bad fella but don't trash people simply by what car they drive that's just plain ignorant.

If you haven't noticed it then you haven't been on the boards long.
Why would I have an inferiority complex? I do okay for myself and like I said - I almost bought an SVT last year.
It is a Contour board, which is why the attitudes I've seen expressed here and there irritate me to no end. I do want that cohesion we should have to exist, but you're blind if you think it does.
And about the "SVT # of #" thing. That in itself doesn't bother me, I was using that to illustrate I was talking about SVT owners and not regular Duratec owners.
But in the end I care less and less about this place.

hold on just a damn minute, are you referring to me???  
you guys are letting that DuMass who has been banned from this site, what 3 times now, get the best of you. i have never seen a thread where people gloat about their cars, whether it be SVT, SE, GL, LX, and say how much the other cars suck. i see people post pics, but that's just IMO to get ideas and constructive critisisms, relax

One question about this "general mod". Is switching from an SE to an SVT a good general mod? I think this "general mod" may make the insurance go up.

Now the thread is qualified to stay in this forum
Even though everyone probably thinks I'm a hater, I do believe for most that going from anything to SVT is a "general mod"
