I have an SVTF and it is much faster then you guys think. The SVTF and SVTC are very closly matched. A stock SVTF that is carefully broken in will run the 1/4 in 15.3 or so. I would say an averag time would be 15.5. It really depends on the driver as to how well the car will perform. The SVTF suspension is were it really shines, most magazine revues have had slalom times in the 67mph to 68mph range. The brakes are great too, with stopping distances that are sub 120 feet. I would also but the interior of the SVTF above that of the SVTC. One thing I believe the two cars have in common are the time they spend in the shop. Lastly only cars with the winter package have t/c and could some give my average numbers for the SVTC i was thinking about getting a 2000 for my wife.
