That would be a good little high school or college kid car....I can see chics driving that.....a little too wimpy for a guy IMO.

I think it would make a fun daily driver and you probably couldn't beat the gas mileage. You could keep the Lightning for stoplight battles and weekend duty and save those expensive miles. $.02

Focus is a 4 banger and the contour is a 6.... Are there issues with the Focus 4 banger too ???

Everything I've heard says the SVT Zetec is a rock solid, high revvin' ball 'o fun...

The 2.5L SVT Contour motor problems have been well documented. I have personally lived it, but the Zetec 4cylinder in the SVT Focus is an entirely different motor and is suppose to be bulletproof by all accounts. 170hp in 4 cylinders is pretty good in my book. Most of the Foci in Atlanta were turning better times than my company Taurus and they weren't even SVTs.

The SVT Focus is also one of the coolest cars in the Project Gotham X-Box game. :cool: So Logan, how much discount can you get me on one of those little babies?

Talked to some instructors from Bondurant last week. They had Foci to play with from SVT. They liked it a lot said it handled and stopped great, as always could use more power.. Jackson Racing is making Eaton kits for them:tu:

Six,

I know where there's going to be a black one with sunroof and audiophile sound in about a week... $19265... Go_rila jr?

I've got one on order, but I doubt I'll be taking it. I was thinking "save money", but I miss my L too much. Dealer is overstocked with L's, and will happily give me XPlan on one...

I thought I saw the prototype with a 2.5 in it. geaux figure --- I have seen enough on Sixpipes' Contour to know I don't ever , ever , ever want a front wheel drive car again === Guess it will be a pickup or SUV from here on out:burnout:

or maybe a 2003 COBRA --- yeah, yeah, that's the ticket:burnout: :d
