your retarded. there was never an SVO cobra. the SVO was only a turbo 2.3 in the fox. it was never produced with any V8. SVO carried on with other projects like the 4.5L SVO NASCAR and the 5.0/5.8 7.5L SVO crate engines but the only production SVO ever released was a turbo 2.3L

No there was an SVO Cobra, it was made before SVT was created.

at least 2 corrections.
2002 i believe is when the 3.8 got IMRC's and HP went to 193 and torque to 230ftlbs
the SVO was never a 5.0 it was a turbocharged 2.3L Lima I-4

Actually they have 150, but their rwhp #s aren't so great, they only have like around 115-125 rwhp stock.
Here's the thing, the 94-98 GTs only had 215-225 rwhp, so of course the V6 is gonna be much lower rated, however, remember this, the V6 replaced the 2.3L I-4 in 94, the 93 I-4 only had 105 hp, so the 145 hp V6 was seen as a huge increase in performance.
