The 200hp Mustang that was mentioned is the new SVO (Special Vehicle Operations) Mustang. It will be an '84 release. It has yet more frontal area reduced from the car and more areo assist devices. The engine has been tweaked and the interior has been nicely updated. However, it will cost you some extra dollars to get one from what I am told. The car has been tested in racing. The SVO vehicle I would like to see is the T-bird SVO I saw. With a tinier (?) nose, skirts, and whale tail, it looked awesome. The car was fitted with the 2.3L Turbo that was almost the same as the current Turbo. The car had a top speed of 130mph. Not bad. Ford is showing a commitment to performance and fun-to-drive but money problems have scratched the SVO T-bird for now.
