yeah, those 99 and 00 model svts with the 200 hp were rediculous on insurance, compared to the 98 model. I bet those 220 hp Mondeo ST220 owners get raped on insurance. Geez, gimme a break! Why would Ford say something like this?! Were talking about SVT here! If it had 220 hp, SVT is gonna say it has 220 hp. Its a car for enthusiasts, not for some tight wad who cares about insurance! Go find a bone stock SVT that dynos at 180+ whp (~220 crank) and then we'll talk. Arghh...a comment like that really chaps my butt!

yeah, but it was probably really like 230 whp. Those dynos are pretty conservative too! They gotta cover their butts too ya know!
