Default Keep SVT alive

I know this is about Fords, and this is a LS1 site....


Go here and sign the petition telling Ford to keep SVT alive. I am GM tried and true, but I do respect the SVT Lightning and cobra, they are amazing vehicles w/ great aftermarket support. Go here to sign the petition http://www.petitiononline.com/savesvt/petition.html


Plus I don't want to be left sharing the performance stable w/ mopar

It was not my understanding that SVT was being abolished but rather all lines, except for the Cobra, were being put on hold???

As far as I know your correct, the L is just taking some time off, but I figure what the heck why not let them know how much we like SVT jsut in case

SVT Focus and Contour are a joke. Lightning and Cobra are the only true performance vehicles.

DITTO the lightning needs some time off so they can come up with some upgrades even though the sema truck looked bad *** it still is a long way away from being done and production starting. but who really knows, Now GM needs to do something while their down and out and quit being such *****'s.

I bought a new Contour SVT in 2000. It handled very well but needed some more power. It was a 2.5 V6 putting out 200 Hp which was pretty good for a 2.5 liter. It should have been rear wheel drive with a 5.0, then it would have been the ****.

Just my 2 cents

we have a regular 02 4 door Focus and even though its a turd, it is still fun to drive....I'm sure with 50 more hp in the SVT (and lighter obviously) it would be a fun car.....I wouldn't say their a "joke" just because it doesn't have 400hp
