I think you get more bang for the buck with the svt. I used to be a vw guy, clubs etc. Reliability and body rust becomes an issue as vw's get older. Ford seems to have better paint hold up. They do respond to mods well, and there are tons of aftermarket parts. The svt is more rare as well, so there is the 'what is that' factor. At least they are rare up here. I've only seen 2 others on the hw in the last 6 months, and that is in a town of over a million.
