Ok, that was funny. When I purchased my Troyer tuner, I was cool with the wait...even though I received it five weeks later than promised. If I was in need of another custom tune today, after all that I have read about the turn around with his tunes these days... I would go with Bill

Statistics have proven that with the increased traffic soccer moms are having a hard time getting the kids to practice on time. Ford is fixing this by upping the HP on its mini-van... I mean Escape

yes SVT lost their leader (John Coletti) and their name might not be used on future Fords but they are still there
Sorry, but SVT is dead... The SVT name stopped being used years ago, so I hate to be the one to break this to you, but SVT is indeed dead.
There were high-performance Fords long before SVT came along and there will still be high-performance Fords long after SVT is nothing more than a footnote in the history books.

The name might be but the department isn't.

Like it was mentioned before SVT was heavily involved in the GT and GT-500.

Hey -- easy on the Escape, boys!

The wife and I love ours, and couldn't be more delighted with it since we purchased it new in 2005! Granted, they are "spawn movers" but every generation has its need for a reliable wagon/minivan/SUV derivative.....:o
