The Contour SVT is a pretty groovy car. It came out when the sport compact movement kicked off good. This car did not set any speed records, but is quick and fun to drive. The SVT Contour was made from 1998-2000. This car was one of the better looking performance sedans of the 1990s.
*1996 SVT Mustang Cobra*
These days even base model cars come with allot of of horsepower. If you had 305hp in the 1990′s you were in a pretty fast car. So now that the 2011 V6 Mustang has 305hp we are going to compair it to the last Mustang that had the same output. Way back around 1996 the SVT Cobra had 305hp stock, which it was one of the fastest American cars produced that year. So now we will take a perfromance look between these two distant cousins.
Jim Herbst is the man with this 5 star stang. What is really cool about Jim he is an singer/song writer. Jim and his car live in Burns, TN. This car is an 2003 SVT Cobra convertible. This car has been modified and customized to the hilt. This Cobra has also been featured in the Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine. With the top up or down this ride looks absolutely fantastic.
Michael Rasmussen owns a couple of cherry rides that we are excited to cover. Mike has became a friend of mine since we started this website. He lives in the north west region of the country in Washington state. Of course Mike is a huge car guy and owns this clean Mystic Chrome Terminator Cobra and a unreal1935 Chevy. Now that you know who Mike is its time to take a further look at these hot cars.
The Ford SVT Supercharged 32v 4.6l
This engine was found in the 03-04 Mustang Cobra and was built for serious performance. A factory claimed out put of 385hp and 385ft_lbs of torque. Most the internals are made from forged material ready to hold up to heavy modifications. Changing the blower to a more heavy duty one and with a few other mods can easily put this 281ci engine in the 600hp range on pump gas.
