An SVT Taurus... hmm.. maybe someone will mistake SVT for SHO? It just a little irritating to those of us (me) that really admire this line of vehicle ... Originally posted by flyer1704:
I saw an SVT Taurus the other day. My wife even got pi$$ed when she saw it... Props to the wife!! Ray

Well, my bro-in-law drives an SVT Tempo 2 door! Complete with whitewalls and 1967 LTD wheel covers. The sawed off straight 6 has so much power it can do 60 in 20 sec.

HAHA yah right, they did make a Thunder but only for show - never made prod. Hey I've seen a SVT E150! from the pics it had the entire lightning interior ( at least the front ) and claim to have the motor too, along with the rims to boot. If I can find the link I'l post.

Yea, and if he ever tries to sell this "SVT" to someone else, they'll have an action for misrepresentation. What a bunch of b.s. The guy has major self esteem issues!

Sad, but true:
There's a last-gen 3.8 Litre V6 Mustang here at work. Silver, with huge, fancy black stripes adorning its flanks. GT wheels. F-body-ized aft-axle transverse-mounted Pep-Boys muffler, sprouting two pipes which wrap around to the center and exhale Boxster-style. SVT badge on passenger side of bootlid, Cobra emblem on driver's side of bootlid.
The best part? "V6 HO" badges on the fender, just behind the front wheels...right off our favorite little pushrod Pontiac competitor's GT model.
As much thrill as it would grant me to capture such imagery and share it with the group, I dare not jeopardize my EOS Rebel 2000's well-being 1) for fear of such hideosity actually destroying the lens, or 2) the car's troglodyte owner becoming violent over copyright infringement of his art.
All he's missing is the Ram Air kit.

This thread made me remember something. In college my friend had a Toyota Tercel. I am not ripping the Tercel, but he put "GT Coupe" badging on it. I laughed my a$$ off.  Whenever we rode in his car we would all say "GT Coupe" when we got it. Pi$$ed him off!!!

How do you know it wasn't the Sultan of Brunei driving around Jacksonville FL with the SVT Expedition? He's been known to have some special factory one off's (Porsche's and Ferrari's)! ROFLMAO.
