The one you mentioned won't perform near what the CSVT will. The Zetec/Auto will leave you wanting alot more in that department. My SE Sport MTX is the closest you can get to a SVT. IMO hold out for a Duratec at least. Right now I'm pretty happy with my Sport. Its a good platform to start with if you want to do mods. You can have the intake and heads ported and such to perform much like the SVT, change the cams to SVT ones, and even swipe an SVT computer from a junk yard to solve that portion. When you look toward the suspension the Sport has alot of the features of the SVT, larger sway bars, stiffer springs, 4 wheel disc. When you upgrade to the BAT kit and aussie bars you would be on a level field with many of the modded SVTs in the handling department. I would say find a '99 or '00 SE Sport. It will should be cheaper on insurance and runs strong to start with and can be easily modded. Check Ebay and maybe find CEGers in that area to take a personal look at the car and give you their feedback on it to help you decide on the purchace. I'd be up for a road trip if you are in the area to take you to pick up the car
