I'm Mustang Illiterate...

But what exactly does the SVT on a mustang mean?

I saw one of the 6 cyls. with SVT written on a stripe along the bottom rocker panel... and I only thought they put SVT on Cobras... Someone enlighten me?

Special Vehicle Team

Anyone can put a sticker on their car. SVT Mustangs are all V-8's though.

SVT is Special Vehicles Team.

SVT currently makes the Ford Mustang Cobra, Ford F150 Lightning, and SVT Focus.

They have made, in the past, a v6 3.5L Duratec Contour (98-00), a pre-blown Lightning (93-95), and non-supercharged Cobras (93-99, 01), with the more powerful R sibling (93, 95, 00).

Thanks for the help guys.

Figured it was fake badging.

yea theres a 94-98 around here with SVO badges...

^lol!

by the way the "svo" sounds its clearly a v8, but with side skirts that say svo?? dumbass.

:uhoh: It says SVO on the sideskirts that you get with the side exhaust kit.

SVO stands for Special Vehicle Operations I believe. There nice, rare vehicles if you can find em, but they were only made as late as 1986. Theres a black 94-98 Stang around here with SVO badges on the sideskirts. Yeah they're fake, oh well, but the car does look nice.

Exactly, SVO on the side exhaust is the brand its coming from.

Actually the SVO's from 84 to 86 were 2.3L turbos. They put out 190 HP.

I forgot about those 84-86 4 cylinders :)

Don't forget the SVO Taurus' .
