The x type is based on the contour so that should be intesting. My Mom has a 00 S-TYPE 4.0 with all the options. The car is encredible. The suspension is also incredible, it is extremely stiff, yet it isn't harsh. It can also be controlled by a button, along with the gearing of the car. My mom's jag redlines at 7000 rpm's, and that is incredible for an ATX(that is actually goes there before it shifts). Also, make sure you disable the traction control or the car will just about shut down if you tramp on it. Good luck
