    CSVT in the winter?

    How are these cars in the winter? I have heard that the stock tires are terrible from a few people for the winter. How does it compare to a 2nd gen SHO with a 5speed? Thanks!

    Insurance

    Kinda a boring question, but is the Contour SVT looked at as an SVT in the insurance world? Or is it just an SE or something??? I was under the impression that ford didn't manufacture the SVT line, they sent the cars to the SVT plant. Am I being a moron here?:shrug:

    MTX SHOS

    My uncle owns a 1995 ATX SHO and there is a 1995 MTX SHO for sale near my house. He says that the power from the yamaha can cook the transmission because of the manual set up and he recommends me not purchasing this MTX. Is he correct or does he just not want another SHOer in the family???:shrug:
