Wow, you guys get way too salty!  For those that got rid of their 'tours, they obviously had a reason. Good luck to them with their new rides. I happen to love my 'tour and I'm sure everyone else here does too, especially the CSVT owners. I just don't see the point in arguin about it  Yeah, everybody's got their own opinion, but why take it so seriously? Let's lighten up a little

I think people that are saying, "it doesnt have a lot power" are sounding so stupid.
The car wasnt made to be a race car, just a family sedan, thats all Fords intent was, except for the SVT of course.
You people knew that before you even brought the thing and now you complain it doesnt have power, how dumb.

Actually, I'm happy you guys are selling your cars. I'm planning on keeping my car for a long time, so in 25 or 30 years, my car will be super rare and it will sell at Barret Jackson for some crazy price like $300,000. The SVT Contour will hit its lowest value in like 5 years, then the value will go up slowly as the number of CSVTs decrease. These cars will be like the GTOs, Shelbys, Z28s, and other rare muscle cars of the 1960s and 70s.
Red 2000 SVT Contour. Can you say "factory freak"?

Yeah, with one exception... by people selling their cars doesn't mean they will go away, they will only have different owners... so Contours are here to stay... unless you're someone like me who wasted his engine and didn't feel like buying a new engine for my car...

DemonSVT
Warmonger
Keyser
BurritaSVT
Buckshot77
Stazi
etc. . .the list is long (sorry about those I forgot about), but these people have done the RIGHT research, gotten things working in perfect harmony,and have cars that could hand it to ANY car on the street right now.
regardless, I'm keeping my CSVT until I (a) total it or (b) get buried in it. It's still the only car that can get my blood boiling when I look at it. . .and like Rara said, it's the only 4-door SVT ever made. . .
The only chump I see is you. While you were yapping your mouth on CEG. I was setting trends. It all comes to a point when you have to say "I am done." I for one am not going to spend $10,000-20,000 MORE dollars on a car that I know will fall apart in the near future. Your right research and wrench time cant offset a poorly built car.
So, you have NO right to slam anyone. What have you done? What time and effort have you put in? Hell I can't even remember what your contour looks like.  Old school, my ass. Your a freaking N00B and you will always be one, IMHO.
Antonio is a cheerful and well-informed fellow, isn't he? CEG just wouldn't be the same without his genuinely helpful opinions about Contours. Post some more, Antonio!
