I'm kind of facing the same thing.
Keep it as is for a DD, save some cash, then decide what to get as a "fun car".

Recently I have been seriously considering selling mine too, but then my rear subframe broke. I couldnt resist the urge to mod the hell out of the rear suspension, so now I guess Im going to keep it for a while. Meh, we'll see. Shes probably got another year in her for me AFAIC.
I have decided that Im going to stop being such a puss with it and finally start to track/autox with it.

If your SVT is running in 15-20 years and has less than 50,000 miles, then maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it.

If you want something that is fast then get something that can actually put the power down to the ground.

Right, if I sell the SVT... I have a pretty good idea of what will be next. And NO, it won't be an evo/ sti.
Also, I'd like to know what people are voting for the second option?

Show me WTF I told anyone to make a decision for me? I'm not asking for decision, I'm seeing how others feel as well. If that was supposed to be a joke, then how about you put a smilie at the end.

I see this mentioned quite a bit. I think it's a mistake for its possible collectors status to be a factor in purchasing a SVT Contour.
A $10k car (what you can find a nice SVT for) is probably not worth the cost of storing and maintaining for 20 years out of hope that it will one day be worth more. Merely owning a car generates overhead that over 20 years will negate its possible appreciation.
I'm not saying nobody should collect and maintain SVT Contours for 20+ years, but it should be out of the love of the vehicle, not it's unlikely status as a collector's item.
