Well I'm sure you're right that the SHO can beat the SVT in straightline- but the SVT sure felt quicker and tighter. My father has been driving fast fords for most of his life and his first impression of the SVT was how incredibly responsive it was. The SVT isn't the fastest ford but might be one the most fun fords to through through the turns. laugh

With regards to that SVT pictured in Richmond for $7995- it's definitely not the same car. The one I looked at was in Arlington, VA and had different wheels (they looked more like the new focus svt wheels). If you come across a silver 1998 svt with a new paint job on the front end that as something of an orange peel quality to it (if you know what I mean) then you might be looking at the car I nearly fell victim to.


Still dreaming of a Silver SVT...
