Let me know what yall think.

[The Youngn]

whoa

and the plate reads "Daily Diver" to me

[Deke]

The 2000 isn't exactly my cup of tea but it least it has some balls to back it up. Welcome to the site.

[j0nbunklah0m]

not bad, but im not feeling that red interior on the 98

[ryan3lcsvt]

lol yeah a few friends always say "dilly diver" it sounded good when I applied for the tag,lol


Yeah my silver one is quite fun to drive, I barely ever drive it but when I do OMG its a blast. I have a slight boost leak right now so soon I will trace it and fix it and be good to go.

[cactusEG]

poor car

[OneSlow5pt0]

the show car is little overdone,imo....but still seems like nice cars,and deff nice #s

[ryan3lcsvt]

Yeah the interior in the black car was stricly done for shows, now its retired as a dd, no track no shows nothing.

The silver is full track and dd and thats it. It drives like its on rails thanks to the koni's, b&g autobahn's,subframe connectors,f&r strut tower braces,boxed f&r subframes,larger f&r swaybars ect... And the turbo spools soooooo quickly.

[LIKEG6]

seen pics of em before and they look alright to me

I like the turbo one best

[Mr. Clean]

both are like 77% ricey, but they have more motor than a lot of cars on here so i can respect that haha.

welcome sir.

[ryan3lcsvt]

Thank you man, I appreciate that. Its my baby, my 2 cars are my 4th and 5th children. I am buying a used lightning in February to haul the turbo car around to shows and such. Yeah call it a trailer queen thats fine, but it will also be a track whore. Its just a fun car to drive.

[FasTech]

Not really into them but the turbo one is alright! I'm not sure about the painted interior in the black one though... Kinda ghey! Suprised IA is being so nice....lol But welcome.

[ryan3lcsvt]

welcome sir.

I can see some "rice" on my black one, but the silver one is maybe 2% rice, everything is for a purpose, only thing thats rice is the painted bezels on the interior. But hey I appreciate your input and the welcome. And the motors arent done yet, this is a starting point lets say:crazy:

[67MercCougar]

Nice cars Ryan LoL, I have been in both and the silver car is a BEAST and totally blew my expectations out of the water.

[fivex684]

I have always liked CSVT's.

[ryan3lcsvt]

Nice cars Ryan LoL, I have been in both and the silver car is a BEAST and totally blew my expectations out of the water.

Yeah dude but that ride was in the rain and you didnt even feel NEAR what it has, plus at that time the tune was all jacked and that was with the SMALLLLLLER fmic, its ALOT more fun now man.

[PreludeVTEC01]

All looks good BUTTTTT

The red dash on the black one, just bc you can doesn't mean you should!

Also I am just not feeling that grill on the silver one. Love the hood/brows/kit but just not feeling the grill

Still love the look though!!!

[DeeAOne]

i think ive seen that silver svt at silver dollar. did you run one time and have some issues at the line? and you had to push it off or something? maybe its coincidence but i definitely remember seeing a boosted silver svt there one night.

[yungdz]

nice and unique cars man. **** saying your ****s ricey, they are exactly what this scene is about and nicely done too.:goodjob: (they dont have any underglow do they?)

[JITB]

looks nice ryan.. i miss mine very often..:(

[ryan3lcsvt]

Well its not a "kit" the body "kit" is the SVT version of the contour, its stock so therfore its not a "kit".

Yes that was me at Silver Dollar, I am the only boosted 3l csvt in the state of GA, the axle had popped out of the circlip and had spun the threads at 1/8" of the tip of the axle, its since been replaced with a new stage 2 axle and is good to go. Of course after a $440.00 towing bill.

No underbody neons,lol they arent my style. The Red on the inside was who I was at the time and flowed with the theme I was going with. Its just a dd now so I see no point in changing it ya know. I had the same hood on the black one but recently sold it, so now it just has a oem hood and a cf trunk lid.

[Nemesis]

lmao @ the body kit comments.. buncha n00bs


Welcome aboard Ryan. You have some work to do to catch up to my post count lulzzzz

[Thighs]

the kit on the silver one actually doesnt look half bad. id change the wheels and maybe some other stuff, but overall nice cars :goodjob:

[ryan3lcsvt]

lol George I am not here for post counting,lol we still need to get together and hang out sometime man, and I will hit you up to take some pics of my rides (wink wink),lol

Yeah the wheels on the silver car are 19's they are mainly for show. I have a set of bob bondurant racing slicks on 16" oem wheels used for auto-x and then a set of bfg dr's on 17's svt focus wheels for 1/4 mile racing.

[Dwisforme05]

god i love those svt contours!

[©hris]

seen the black one in person.... it sounds mean as hell!

[ryan3lcsvt]

Thanks man, yeah both cars have 100% custom exhausts, love your ride man the black wheels are HOT dude!

[ryan3lcsvt]

Here is my dyno chart, as you see I am leaving ALOT on the table, the boost started to leak at around 5000-5300 rpm's, thats when the rfl opened and leaked and wouldnt close back.

[amandDA]

i like the seats....in the "show car"

[ryan3lcsvt]

Thanks girl, they are SNUG to say the least,lol

[WTF?]

i like the black one, just the red in the interior throws me off but to each there own and welcome to the site

[MP05]

Seen this car at the LS2, trailblazer ss, meet @ Vengeance. I think everyone definitely had the WTF post-it on there forehead. Very nice car and I was really surprised at how fast the turbo spooled up.

[blackshine007]

For some reason, I liked the CSVT's but didn't like the cougar :thinking:


On a side note, I couldn't help but notice in the vid that you're not running alot of boost. Sounds like maybe 5 psi, 7 psi max...... when ya gonna turn it up?

[ryan3lcsvt]

MP05, yeah I dunno whats up with the wtf post-it,lol And yeah I have gained some since that dyno but its nothing cause I am still leaving alot on the table. But yes the gt3076r does spool EXTREMLY fast, usually right around 3000rpm.

Blackshine,In that dyno run I was at 14psi, but it went down to around 8-9psi after 5000-5400 rpm cause of the bov. There motors can handle maybe 15-16psi, but I wont chance it, 14psi is the most I will run.
