Specifications
This SVT Contour has a lowered suspension by Koni and rides on 17×7.5 ET35 BBS RX wheels with 235/45/ZR17 tires. The front sway bar was replaced with a smaller one, to reduce understeer. The engine is said to have been tuned by Jack Roush, but the exact modifications and horsepower are unknown. The clutch was upgraded, along with a lighter, aluminum flywheel. The front brakes have been upgraded and the usual safety equipment, including roll bar, safety harnesses, halon fire suppression system, fuel cell and strobes have been installed.
Current Status
As of 2011, the Gold Contour SVT Pace Car became privately owned by an enthusiast.
