    Default Saw a Mustang SVo for the first time

    For the first time I saw a Original Mustang SVO. Man I love the car. Price was 5000$ (canadian) Obo.

    Everything was original too. I never noticed the small things on the car till I actully see them up close. Like the HUGE rotors or the Adjestable shock's. A sunroof on it...It had a Switch for the Amp too??

    Man I wish I had pics of it. I would trade up my capri for one of those baby's anyday.
    I may own a "american gas guzzler", But I get to the finish line first =)

    I drove Ricks (SVOman2300) SVO today. Felt darn good to be behind the wheel of another one and I love the cobra brakes on that thing.

    Also, do not be so quick to judge someone's comments as being derogatory. It is often difficult to interpret someone's intentions having only text and no body language or tone of voice to guide you.

    /me looks outside.

    Yep, I see one.

    I think it's interesting to see where pockets of certain types of cars are concentrated, and seeing where the corresponding voids of these cars are.

    We have a lot of everything in the SW because nothing rusts to death. I see SVOs pretty regularly (not including ours). Capris, though...well, you pretty much have to come to our driveway for that. Although, we did see an 86 5.0 Capri yesterday. Pretty cool.

    Just wait until you actually drive an SVO and have 20psi of boost light the tires up in smoke and push you back it the seat.

    It kills me because I had a regular 4cyl mustang before and at first while accelerating the SVO feels just like it and then out of nowhere it feels like a truck rams into the back of it and it just takes off.

    Boost rocks! I want more! LOL

    I've never really been that close, and to tell you the truth, prior to joining this site, I never really understood what the big deal was about them. I mean a 4 banger turbo? Why? BUT.....Then I joined this site. And from all you guys talking about these things, I kinda want one......

    I never got my buddy's SVO back together before he lost interest and sold it, but I had a Merkur XR4Ti with that same turbo 4, and there is nothing to compare to how that turbo 4 feels. That car was awesome. I sold it because it was from up north and started turning brown around the edges.

    So did I. His clutch would drive me insane and it doesn't make boost till four grand, but the brakes were phenomenal and the interior is a good vision for what mine will be again someday.
