To be pushing 270lbs from the factory it probably is rated to withstand quite a bit of abuse. The Mazdaspeed 3 stock transmission is a tank of a transmission, and the clutch is a Stage 2+ from the factory rated for over 300lbs tq and the car is rated at 280lbs factory, I'm sure the Focus ST will employ something similar... Ford can't expect aftermarket companies NOT to invest in modifying the ST, if the transmission couldn't handle much more than stock it wouldn't be a viable option, since turbo = torque.

Does that really change anything?

There's no 2012 SVT either, and I think it would be just as cheesy to put an SVT badge on there. Actually, I think an SVT badge might be less cheesy.

If he doesn't drive like a jerk, it doesn't matter what he puts on his car.

Since he specifically asked about how the letters looked on the car, I thought I'd limit my opinion to that.
