Old school domestic tuner car
Ok...so I got to thinking after reading an article in a Mustang mag (which I know you guys are ALL about) that maybe Ford had the import market beat on it's small displacement sports cars. The article featured an old '84 Mustang SVO. For those who don't know, SVOs came with intercooled turbo'ed 2.3L 4 bangers, 4 wheel discs, koni adjustables, and up to 225hp FACTORY. They handle like go karts and are insanely easy to modify (had a friend with one that had an Esslinger head, stock cam, T3/T4 hybrid, and a front-mounted IC that made over 300hp at the wheels). So can it be true...did Ford have one of the first small displacement "tuner" cars in the American market (cuz let's face it...the British have been doing it for years)?
