[sm=goodidea.gif][sm=exactly.gif] But put the 5.4 in the GT? Now your asking for alot.
I think the lightning should go and the Cobra gets a 5.4 and the GT's get the 32v. Or give the Cobras a specality crate motor and put the 5.4 in the GT.
How in he world is that asking too much when the Fbodies have 5.7's???

Well I am not a big fan on the sport truck thing, and I am with pony when she says she hasn't seen much of the. But if they get rid of SVT all together, that would be a major downer indeed. I own a SVT Ford Focus and love the car. I am looking foward and see what SVT does with the new stang. And that would be no good if they stop cuz I have a load of cash saving up for the baby.

Ford getting rid of SVT is just what GM is looking for so they can make a good comeback with the new Fbodies... or what ever they will be called.

dont get me wrong........i respect 'em for what they were, but, imo, you cant even COMPARE them w/ a v8. 2 totally diff leagues. but, theyre were respectable for no more than what they were.

how are they two different leagues? svo will run with the 5.0 on straights and ****in smoke them in the twisties. it will get better gas mileage and be a hell of a lot more fun also.

The 87-93's were making more HP/Torque
But NOT MUCH
and the SVO is lighter too
I would NOT mind owning an 85 1/2+ SVO
If I do ever find one, that will SOOOOo be my new winter beater
Believe in 85 the HP jumped to 205 and torque to 285?
Ran a 15.1 quarter mile
and could obliterate the GT on a road course.
