I respect the SVO and 2.3 turbos (like the '79 pace car) because they're part of our rich mustang heritage. I only don't like fwd fast and furious style cars. Also I only consider 4 cylinders below 2.0 liters to be good for gas mileage. At my dealership, the sales mgr's wife keeps dropping off her caliber saying it only gets 19mpg...hey it's a 2.4 which is considered a big four...plus she runs the a/c and holds it to the wood...I ran off a copy of a car and driver article about how they really get those mileage numbers and how they don't equate to real-world driving...
...getting a little off topic here. But yes I respect 2.3 turbos and would be happy to lay strip in one![sm=smiley20.gif]

p.s. back in the day the 2.3 turbo and 5.0 HO had similar if not identical hp/tq numbers...gotta respect that!
