The actual shell of the car isnt any different i dont think. But in order to completely clone an svt you would need a full svt motor, 5 speed mtx-75 along with svt clutch and flywheel, full svt interior, body cladding, wheels, brakes, exhaust, etc, etc. Jim Hahn 1996 T-Red Contour SE Reborn 4/6/04 3.0L swap and Arizona Dyno Chip Turbo Kit 364 whp, 410 wtq @ 4,700 rpm

Suspension setup, engine cams, uim, lim, injectors, pcm, tb, intake, MAF, rims, brakes, rotors, bumpers, sideskirts, grille, interior, exhaust, etc, all all different. Structurally, the car is the same. It is the same platform. '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.
