Or just stick a 3.0L in the se/sport! Costs alot less than the SVT for doing the same thing in the end. I have a 2.0L and if you plan on goin fast, don't get it!  Never drove in a SE/Sport, but have rode in an SVT and they are very fast and handle excellent!   If you're goin the 3L route, get the Sport cause it's cheaper than the SVT and with a 3L and some suspension/interior mods you could have an SVT look alike or better for not that much??  Idk, just my opinion...
