SVT Disgraced

SVT Disgraced
So I'm driving home the other day and see this orange mustang all chromed out even got the 20" dub emblem on the front panels, big stupid wing. So as the driver looks over at me with a nod (like were boys because we have fords) he passes me and what do I see a SVT emblem on the back. As I get mad I think not only did ford drop SVT but what a kick in the family gems to have someone pretend to have a SVT. It pretty much just makes me sick. Not only to have a SVT emblem on there but even to disgrace a mustang at that. Well just thought that I would share that, I'm sure someone else has seen this ignorance.

when I was in college a kid in our parking lot had a V6 SN-95 99-04 Orange Mustang that was lowered/body kit and debadged totally... and SVT rims... made me sick everytime I saw it... I don't own an SVT but if I was going to put that much time into a vehicle it would at least be a GT... but definitely if it was not an SVT, it would not have any SVT markings on it.

Who cares. Nobody knows what SVT is anyway and Ford isn't even sure that it wants the name to even continue. You have a what??? SVT Lightning. There's a better chance that they know what a BRP go cart is.
No one can further disgrace SVT. They have done a great job of it themselves...
You can get any Mercedes with AMG rims. Doesn't bother AMG as they are the most successful performance division in the world.

True. But I find it funny when I meet someone who really knows a bit about cars and says: "You own a Lightning!?!?! Those things are no joke." The ignorant person replies: "What's a Lightning?" He continues on: "It's the truck that's faster than a Vette!" "I see a group of them at the track every week ripping off 11-12 second passes all day long."

yes there is a guy who lives in my neighborhood who tries passing his 03 body style Mustang GT as a cobra. He bought the wheels, body kit, and emblems but he still has his original back bumper which does not say cobra. He is kind of missing the supercharger also lol. Gotta love the wanna-b's. I got a good laugh not to long ago as well when i seen a Ford Lightning "clone" for sale on ebay. Was a stock single cab with all the lightning dress up parts besides any engine or interior modification.

I allmost Disgraced a SVT last night
Or maybee he just Disgraced himself, and all other SVT's??
I went up to the track last night to meet hdmlnium. I had no thoughts of running since I wasn't in my Lightning. Well Bill talked me into running, so I teched in my old brick, and pulled into the staging lanes.
I got paired up against a supercharger Gen1 Lightning, and I figured he was going to kick my butt.
The Light goes green, I let out the clutch, mash the gas, and I don't see any Lightning.
I get out to around 330 feet, I can see his headlights, but still no Lightning blowing by me.
I get to half track, and still no lightning.
Finally at about 3/4 track he catches me, and then goes by me.
I don't know what was up with that guy, he must have had a cup of coffee while the light went green, and the number he ran, must be something wrong with his truck, as I was within a second of him. I even bogged the 30 year old bronco at the start, so I know there is at least 2 tenths more I could have gotten out of it.
