I agree with the shock value of these cars. Not many people expect to hear that kind of noise coming from a contour. Let alone a contour that just smoked them. The SVT's are so unique and the lines on it are so smooth, and it doesnt hurt that its got such a powerful and revv able engine. I know I've gotten mine going around 138 on the track and I had more pedal but the warm lump in my pants convinced me otherwise.
