One of the best domestic shifters ever!), an extrude honed duratec v6 that puts out 220hp, and suspension that rivals most BMWs. Every review I've ever read has been nothing but praise, and these little cars havea top end of 155mph!!!

Something to consider, especially seeing how nice examples go for 5-8 grand.

Those Contour SVTs are pretty nice cars, but being fwd, it not as fun to race at the drag strip. On the AutoX circuit, it'll probably do pretty well with a spring and shock upgrade, but it's not my cup-o-tea. They are very nice cars though and got excellent reviews from the automotive press!

Guys, the Legacy GT is a nice car and will probably be on my shopping list. I plan on test driving both the S60R and Audi S4, as well as a few others like the Legacy GT and maybe even an STI.
