My Evo is averaging 22 MPG. Not much to brag about, but certainly pretty good for a performance car.

I have a 13 second car that gets 22mpg in city driving with my lead foot and redline every shift. EVERY shift! 
Nearly 30mpg on the highway.
Oh yeah. It handles well too which is something a Mustang could never do. 
Ford definitely built a great car and great V6 engine it's just too bad "our" society of sheep like slushbox couches instead.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I think those people getting rid of their CSVTs at this point are chumps, put in a little elbow grease, do the right research, everything can be made to work in perfect harmony . . .example's that come to mind,
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. . .

ummm... we have no 10 second contours here...or even 11 second contours. there are a lot fo cars that would hand Rick's car its ass, viper, Zo6, Poerche 911 Turbo, just to name a few...
granted, buckshot (rick) has a contour that cant currently be beaten by any other contour and that is a hell of a feat (good on ya buckshot, keep up the good work)
im not trying to dog these guys in any way, im jsut saying that they are faster cars on the street that are faster...so be more specific...

Yep, most people own many cars in their lifetime. And only liking one limits the fun. Doesn't mean any "disloyalty".
There are many clubs for older discontinued Fords, like Mavericks, Falcons, Fairmonts, and even Pintos. So, no need to freak out if someone sells there Contour/Mystique. Others will get one.

Bingo. I couldn't have said it better myself. Hell, I've only been driving for 12 years and I've owned 14 cars. So, they are indeed made to be driven and replaced. Although, I love my CSVT and I'll keep it even when I buy a new car.

3 years driving, six cars. But I don't see me doing much of that now that I've found my SVT. It's got everything I want except off road capability, and an all out muscle car.

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.
Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.
