SVTs are stock handling monsters. They DID get the ivory shaft as far as power goes. Innovation? It shares an induction technology with the SPI. Nuff said.

170 crank HP is nice. Paying 15gs more than a SPI sedan (at the time) for 60 more HP wasn't as nice.

A good point was raised about the fact the SVT Focus was the only SVT vehicle in recent memory to NOT get forced induction (even as an expensive and overly self-indulgent option). Then, SVT started taking shots to the ribs when SVT supercharger kits were being offered through the FRPP catalog. Big boost upgrades too.

I love the wheels and the suspension. You can keep the sunroof, leather on the seats, and all the other crap that doesn't belong in a performance vehicle. It's SVT - Special Vehicles Team, not Special Vanity Team.

Those are the people that designed the Ford Ranger Splash and that Volvo you can't open the hood on.
