I think he was referring to the sleeper look rather then the big wing/touring look on his brothers car (pictured)

I agree, the sleeper look is MUCH better. That way you don't get laughed at!

In defense of my brother (or one of my best friends cars ever, the one with the BIG wing) You guys should know that the car sticks like glue on the highway. At first, I didn't like it either, but it grew on me and the downforce he is getting is pretty ridiculous. Car won't do more than 130MPH or right around there, tops!
Just thought i would share it's positive side.

First...downforce on a FWD car is going to cause some massive handling disadvantages....Second...the SVT has a Top Speed of 143 MPH, only being able to go 130 shows some serious performance loss. Third, that wing is just plain ugly (IMHO but to each his own) ***Edit*** By the way SVTMan15....Nice looking Tour...love it.

thanks...as far as my brothers car not being able to do more than 130...it's true...before he put the wing on top speed was 145, after top speed was 120 with downforce up and 130 with downforce all the way down...as far as it being because of performance, he stayed right there with me with the same mods until we get up there and it starts to effect him...as far as handeling, it does handle a lot better since he put the wing on. we have done a lot of test driving to prove this(driving really fast and turning)...as far as the svt only going to 143...we have had my fathers svt up to 152, and i have had mine up to 147(well that is what the speedo said). i'm not talking out my ass here...we have three svt's in my family so all of this is from personal experience.
