Well, she got flooded to the dash during Hurricane Isabel in September. I am totally bummed about it. Although i have a new car now. I bought a 1998 Contour SVT, very fun car. Here's a pic, sorry i haven't been around lately, i've been trying to get life back to normal. Drop me an e-mail at: bmertes@ec.rr.com

Talk to you later skyler.

Water up to the dash. Salt water in the tranny, motor and interior. It was a total loss, with the exception of a few items that were salvagable. The SVT Contour has the Duratec 2.5 v6. She's a 5spd, pretty agile in the twists and turns i must say. As far as power, its nothing worth bragging about. 15.3's @ 90mph stock with a top speed of 143mph. The car likes top end speed, it walks alot of cars from 75-130 easily. Thats why it probably hung with your saleen on the open hwy, the low end on this car sucks.

So when did you get the Cobra? And hows Justin doing? I haven't talked to you guys in a long while.

Thats nice man. Didnt they come w/ a v8 one year too? Justin sold his camaro after he crashed it. He got a F150 w/ a 10" lift, and after seeing 8mpg he just bought a 04 Honda Civic now.

No, they only made the SVT's in 1998-2000, no longer in production. There were only 6500 something made in 98, 3 colors. Black, silver and red. As far as a v8 goes, not that i'm aware of. You might be thinking about the SHO taurus, they had one year with a v8 in it i think.
