Not saying the weight difference justifies any times, but with all the extras the SVT has it is quite a bit heavier, regardless of slight engine differences.
Those weights are inaccurate..
SVT is about 3040 lbs with sunroof. Most zetec weights I,ve seen printed are about 2850 llbs or so, mostly due to less options (smaller wheels, brakes, radiator, no power seats, sunroof, body kit) The zetec motor weights within about 60 lbs of Duratec so a 500 lb weight difference is not going to happen stock. Max maybe 200 lbs, 250 tops.
Congrats on your times..I am not doubting them but I do think the degree of improvement suggests that your "shot" is closer to 100 than 75...either way, big bang for buck.
