the svt isnt as tough as it's name has given it, i believe that ford ist doing everything in it's hands to make it a real SVT vehilcle like the mustang or lightning

they are more worried about eviromental issues with the focus

don't get me wrong, it will keep up with some... but it's really just meant to feel fast.. think accord with SOHC vtec(5th or 6th gen)... it's got enough to keep people happy, not really enough to do anything tho
