ahh the good ole days when no ricers said they had =4823=49823=489123=4923 horse power in there civics lol an american four cylnder is the the only inline four that can produce 750 hp
@everwink First off, no shit they made a Cobra in 93, they made a Cobra R, too. I was using the SN95 Cobras as a example, dumbass. And look up the numbers, when the SVO was first relased it put down better numbers in all categorys compared to the 5.0. A stock 5.0 is a fucking dog, there's no getting around that.
@everwink Well they could have also offered a N/A 5.0, too. I mean look, starting in 95 they made both a GT and a Cobra, yea of course the Cobra was a bit more but there's always someone willing to spend a bit more...
this car never had the respect it deserved. it was the better performer and the better look. the price was its weakness, when the 5.0L was upgraded and was cheaper.
I think the SVO Mustang has too much of an European look. That is probably why the SVO was not that big of a hit. European design for a car that has a distinctively American nameplate. But still a nicer car than those POS Mustang II's from the mid to late 1970s. Most Mustang II's are off the road anyways, as most of them rusted out. And all the Mustang II's were just dressed up Pintos.
@norwood1026 The heavy iron 5.0s made mustangs drive unfavorably. Its all about power to weight ratio, this was the closest 50/50 bias mustang ever built. Besides, if you wanted a fast V8 foxbody get a fuckin boss. This could outrun the GTs at the time.
@xsonz2 In a straight line they were much faster then the SVO, but the SVO did handle better stop better then the 5.0 or the GT Agreed the 5.0 fastback could dust the GT because it was several 100 pounds lighter.
@norwood1026 depends on the year. Early foxbody gts where underpowered, and at one point the figures between the SVO and the base GT where so close ford actually changed the specs, without changing either cars performance. Soon enough however, various upgrades got the 5.0 back on top.
@norwood1026 I like to know which of the 2 V6 motors your talking about.
Fords pinto 2.3 and 2.5 inline 4 engines are bullet proof reliable motors. The 3.0 liter vulcan V6 is a good motor, but the mazda built 2.5 is no where near as reliable as Fords 2.3, turbocharged or not.
@FireMario87 Reliable yes not the mazda enegine had counterbalance shafts that made the engine much smoother the the entire RPM band then the Ford 2.3.
This car was ahead of it's time but Mustang people didn't care about hnadling they cared more about straight line speed. I have to wonder why Ford didn't carry over the better brakes, Etc on the V-8. I remember a time when the Probe GT Turbo was going to replace the V-8 People wrote in & it was never a done deal.
@lindaleparkrolo Alot of people would argue this "downgrade" engine was superior to the V8 avaliable. Certainly is different, and this was back when 200 horsepower was AALLLOOTTA power. They built the Vulcan 3.0 V6, producing 140 and they thought they built the messiah motor.
Are you fucking high there's no comparison between a probe and an svo wikiepedia that shit homes

SVO should have boosted the 5.0, not the little 2.3L. Still a nice car for what it was.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
The Probe was a better motor at least the V-6 was. The 2.3 is an old pinto engine. I would of liked to see a turbo V-8 instead of a forced fed four.
