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.
