It all depends on the year.

The 98 and 98.5 (E0 and E1) have 195hp. The 99 has 200hp with a compression ratio of 10:1. The 00 also has 200hp, but the engine is 50cc smaller. In order to get the same hp reading, the compression ratio was raised to 10.25:1.

Hope this helps, I know you posted this a while back, but better late then never, right?

I'll never understand why the didn't toss this engine into the Cougar. It had the looks but the motor was a little under powered.

The Contour SVT is a pretty nice car.

Actually, the 2.5 V6 is the same in the Cougar and CSVT. The CSVT just has more engine mods. The 2.5 V6 in the Cougar is the same as the 2.5 V6 in the newer Contour SE. I would agree though, 170hp for that 2.5 V6 isn't nearly enough for the Cougar. I like my 200hp CSVT.

Thanks.

That does sound nice... mine is a bit over 200hp now, so I can live with that. I'm still waiting to see what type of 2003 models come out. I want a new car

I think from what I have been reading, Mercury is supposed to be getting a version of the Mondeo soon. I just hope so, my first car was a Contour SVT '98, granted it wasn't a super speed demon it was fast.

correction to tommys info he posted

the contour svt tested was 6.9 0-60 for 99-00 and 7.1 for the 98's

the 7.6 0-60 was fords conservative ratings



and mine is a "tad" bit quicker that little vortech helps out

SVT Contour: I love this car, but at the time I got my 2, it was too expensive for me. Does anyone have any pics of their rides?
