Legendary SVT Officially a Legend
 

I assume you guys all heard the news SVT is history. There goes Ford performance. :banghead:
"Time creeps up on every organization. Some are able to take the lead and bring home the checkered flag; others fall victim to the ebb & flow of modernization and the next best thing. Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) will be formally disbanded effective April 1, 2006. Not watershed news by any means though, as the fuse was lit back in 1992—it was only a matter of time." :deal:


God save the crew the ship is definately sinking!

As of Friday there was still no "Official" word from Ford on this according to the SVT Dealers, but I think more so then not, these stories are correct, Its def a sad thing to see go, I have been lucky enough to own 4 SVT's and the wall plaques will hang forever on my wall. Makes me want to keep the Cobra forever. :tup

just getting into Fords but i've always respected the vehicles that bare the SVT badge :bleh

Biz, you better keep it as it might be the last of a legend :cry2:

I know...last year of the SVT Mustang...alot to consider...I just sold my SVT Focus...but thats no big deal.

i read a quick flash about this the other day, just pasted it off as more bullshit on the net.
this sucks.
i guess there will still be roush and saleen. they will probably go up in price now.
so will all the SVT's that are out there. :cry2: :cry2:

SVT - Conv.
 

Anyone looking for a 04 SVT yellow convert. 3000 Klms. there is one for sale here where I live. It is a dealer and the car is over priced at $44,900. I think?

Not a plug for the dealer I don't even know them, just I know the car is there thats all for anyone looking.

hey, maybe they'll bring SVO back :rolleyes:

that would be cool.
just thinking here. they made cobra before SVT came along right?
so does that mean they will still have cobras?
just not the name SVT? :confused:

SVT was a major deciding factor for me between the Cobra and a WS6. I liked the support and idea that it was built differently and not just a body kit or something slightly different to call it another model.

It was nice to go to dealerships that knew about your car and how to work on it and when I asked dealerships about the WS6 package for the TA not one I talked to knew anything about it.

I suppose this may be the end of the line for me then. Not like I was looking at getting another car anytime soon but I was starting to eyeball vettes and this just pushes me more into that direction.
