Nice, so SVT is still trying to make a come back, or... Ford's just keeping the name alive under the skin of Ford Racing for the time being. Either way, it looks like good news. Even though the Lightning and SVT Sport Trac have been pulled, nothing's written in stone...

lol PerfectSaiyan, I think ford would axe SVT then bring it back, only to say it was a joke, because that's how stupid most of their CEO's are IMO.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

That's why the Taurus was a SHO and not an SVT - they wanted the wider distribution.

I'm really sick and tired of this bull$hit game Ford is playing with SVT!!!!
Just keep it! Everyone else has a performance line, why axe theirs????

the demand for the performance cars are there. I was talking with the sale manager at SVT dealer in Saskatoon, and apparently there is a list of 30+ people who want a GT500, and there is the chance that they will only get 10 or 12 GT500s into the dealership.
