About the SS/NA. It's not that bad of a car. F/I they see well over 300hp stock internals and the SS/TC suspension bolts right up/etc. IMO it should have been the "Sport" from the beginning though.

Again, I have to disagree. The SVTC was a great car for '98-'00. Compact with 200hp, nice leather and amazing handling for it's time.

Check out this comparison where it beats the G20 and A4.

"The SVT Contour is simply the best handling front-wheel drive sedan sold in this country."

Yea they were amazing just like the srt-6 in the fact that nobody wanted them. Nobody is gonna see a svt contour on a used car lot and go OOHHHH I gotta have it.
