I dont have one yet, but from what i've read, look out for the fuel pump and 3rd gear grinding. And check out contour.org, lots of information. And I think that's where most of the SVT contour guys hang out.
Just the basics.
3rd gear syncro is a weak point even on a stock CSVT, same with the diff, but if its a DD you should be finew ith the diff.
When you change the oil, make sure you add .5 qts more than it recommends.
Congrats on the buy. Not the fastest cars, but the overall package is what makes'em fun1

what usully goes wrong with the front diff?

It is very weak. Not really designed to handle the SVT's level of power. Upgrading to a Quaife or Torsen LSD will make drag racing a little less worrisome and will make handling better.
I've read quite a few stories from people who had their SVT's engine replaced at the dealer, only to have them drop in the standard 2.5 because no SVT motor was available. You should definately look into that as well.
