Hate to burst your bubble , but from what I was told years ago by a Ford/SVT employee , CSVTs were made on the same line , at the same time as non-SVTs . The same guys that were building the GL's , SE's & whatnot were putting the SVT's together also . An SVT could've been surrounded by base-model Contours on the line - it didn't matter . They were nothing more than just another car to the guys on the line , unfortunately . No special line , no special assemblers , no special treatment .
