1988 Taurus 250,000 miles, 1996 Taurus (brother has it now with 298,000 miles on it), 1989 1/2 Ford Escort LX Station Wagon, 1979 F-150 6in suspension 400sb 35x12.5 BF MT's, then got the 02 SVTF, then sold the F-150 and bought a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, traded the GC for a 1979 Bronco with a 351, headers, 4in lift, 35's and a sweet retro paint job, then traded the Jeep GC for a Jeep YJ then sold the YJ and now have a 04 GMC
Z71 along with the Focus.
That's right... bought it new, sold it a year and a half later after buying my SVT that was 2 years older but had 16k fewer miles. I didn't want either to be red, especially, but I can't deny the sexiness. And obviously, I couldn't put up with an under-powered automatic that would drop into all kinds of funny gears when I didn't want it to. Grapevine in 6th gear? No problem...
well at first i had a 85 Dodge Aries with a 2.0 that i trick out and trade that in for a 94 Ford Taurus GL with a 3.8, gave that to my mom and got my 2005 ZX5 Focus and sorry i dont have a SVT but wanted to share with you guys my old cars.
from this you see it wakes up at around 2500-3000 rpm. I had no catalytic convertors so that is partially why.
the first one is a video as well as the last picture in my other post.
I was driving an orange 2000 200SX before my SVT. I heard "jellybean" plenty of times. It handled ok, to a point. If the SVT has that point, I haven't found it.

Maybe that's part of it, or the Escape is heavier or geared differently. The Escape's fun zone was definitely from 4400 until it shifted in the high 5's-6k. Either way, the Duratec 3.0's a nice engine, I always enjoyed it.
A super awesome red 2001 Oldsmobile Silouette. It did have some cool features though like the automatic sliding doors and an entertainment system, both of which unheard of in minivans at the time, and the seats folded all the way back ; )
So I just recently purchased my first SVT. It was pretty neglected by the previous owner but I didn't mind the project. I've fixed 80% of the issues however this one is really giving me some issues.
The issue:
When driving down the road there is a very loud clunking noise the car makes. It's...
Found an 03 Red EAP. Some slight paint fade on the roof but has almost 200k on it. Guy is asking 2k-2500.
I want to get one for a summer daily / track car but not super familiar with the Ztec. (Owned 3 d20 so the older are relatively new to me)
Anything special to look for on these?
This was...
I was just curious about other owners in Northern VIRGINIA because my parents live in the Harrisonburg area. As I was driving north from there I passed a parked 3-door SVTF, I'm assuming it was '03 because it was Yellow and had 5-spoke wheels. I almost stopped and knocked on the door of the...
So having a issue when the car sits over night in freezing temperatures, go to statt it the next morning an it won't start. Once the temps warm up above freezing seems to ve fine. Replaced the fuel pump already, new battery, applied electrical grease to plugs to make sure moisture isn't a issue...
