No kidding, I don't care for Ford but I used to swear by SVT. Anything they touched turned to gold. Look at the 03' gen Cobras, they were ****ing monsters. Not to mention the Lighting, and uber sweet handling, and sounding SVT Focus.Originally Posted by blackshine007
SVT Contour anyone? That thing was soo clean, and pretty damned peppy too.
I think SVT was the backbone of Ford performance, now they're trying to give us a 500hp Mustang with the name "Shelby" on it, and hope that maybe we will all overlook the fact that it weighs nearly 4,000lbs. Not me. **** power, and **** torque, the first thing I look at when guesstimating the performance of a new car is it's weight.
American car manufacturer's have got to quit trying to take short cuts on making good cars, especially to their home audience. The automotive obesity epidemic might be overlooked by soccer moms, and dip ****s driving polished up Tahoes (read: H2 & H3) but for those of us with performance in mind, we aren't going to be fooled by power figures alone anymore.
