I wouldn't. no offense to any non-svt owners. i only bought mine BECAUSE it was an SVT. there is no way, personally, I would have bought an SE knowing there are SVTs out there. and if there were no SVTs to be had i would have gone on to a different car.

i have two possible scenarios i typically encounter with my car.
1. i have to explain what it is to the laymen and that the svt is the hi-po version
2. other REAL car guys see my car and are like "whoa, ive heard of those." (not that theyre overly impressed but there is some respect for them)

my buddy has a Typhoon and people, usually youngsters, say to him "those were fast back in the 90s" thinking they cant smoke today's cars. he has taught a few NA porsches a lesson or two.
