I'd get an SVT because the handeling is great and the looks you get let you know you're driving a cool car. I thought about the v-8 sho, but gas mileage wouldn't be as good and insurance was roughly twice as much. I'm serious when I say you will look for the two lane roads that wind around alot not too long after you get it. it's a sweet car.

Old - 95.5 SE with lot's of mods.
