FORD S.V.T.

These pictures are from Brown Bros. Ford S.V.T.customer appreciation day at MRP Sept. 2000. What was really neat was one of five in Canada COBRA "R" of Tim Brown's. This is Fords factory race car. I believe the sticker is around 80,000.00 cdn. however seems that down south they are going for $85,000.00 U.S.. Although this car didn't go down the 1/4 the numbers that I was told were 12.4's @ 114 mph out of the box full exhaust. Pull the cats run C14 send computer back to the factory engineers you get 500+ horses. Not bad for a FORD small block. The other cars that showed were about 10 SVT Contours 10 SVT Stangs & 2 SVT F150. The Cobra R was a neat piece of engineering from Ford. Click on the pictures to increase size
