Sure you can the next time I'm in Regina. B)
But next time put the seat back to the way it was. ;)
You really screwed up my comfort.

Will I guess now it wouldnt be much saving.
I did some research and the SVT dropped so much in price it WOULD be worth your while to get the SVT if you could with the extra power. So now I know.
Here are some prices I picked up on focus's.
2002 Focus SVT (26621 miles) - $4,995.00
2003 Focus SVT (12000 miles) - $5,100.00
Heavly Modded 2002 Focus SVT with turbo - $11,995.00

Unbelievable.
It just goes to show you how s**t these cars really are. Okay maybe not s**t par say, but shitty sale value. The SVT was supposed the be the "flagship focus" and is now berely worth more than a normal one. :lol: what a joke.
I just think there are way better cars out there for the money.

Show me. :P
I wanna see bang for buck comparisions.
IMHO, not much comes close to it.
Escpecially with the prices Jay posted above.
NOW if we were talking sticker price (aka 28G's +), then yeah......so much better out there for the price.
Finally Drove An Svt - hardk0re - 06-22-2005
What about the ZX3/ZTS/ZTW's then, they must be worthless if thats all the SVT's are going for?
Finally Drove An Svt - scoobasteve - 06-22-2005

All Focus are worthless.

Finally Drove An Svt - SVT ZX3 - 06-23-2005
Focus = 0 resale value... too bad I only found this out after buying one! :angry:
Oh well, at least I didn't pay MSRP for it. I REALLY feel bad for those guys who did.

Finally Drove An Svt - ZX3TUNR - 06-23-2005
you gotta go on ebay man. I know a few ppl who have brought over cars off ebay. Just got to do your research.
I wish I had the link of the Lexus my buddy brought back from Cali. Its in mint shape. So jealous of him.
Finally Drove An Svt - scoobasteve - 06-24-2005
are these the end auction prices?
Finally Drove An Svt - Crazirich - 06-24-2005
I DON'T TRUST EBAY for things over 50 bucks and i would need to have lots of info when buying. I know a guy bought a car that was supposedly all mint complete and number matching and all that crap, turned out to be a half finished lesser model made up into a better one. they are STILL fighting it from a year ago

SVTs are sexy, but they appear to be a bitch to get more than 220WHP out of because of their high compression (10.2:1 IIRC).
Most Zetecs can hit that all day long with a good turbo kit and I/C apparently.

most forms of boosting the SVT are netting nearly 250whp... the regular zetec is a bitch to get more than 220WHP out of because of it's wimpy internals (on 91 octane that is)
