SVT Expedition

 

Thats just what the soccer mom/dad community needs.

 

for searching for a parking spot at the mall!

 

Nice, but i'm still holding out for the SVT Excursion. a big yellow one with those red "stop" flaps

 

if SVT produces this i think they will go over the line---if they put the SVT tag on too many cars/trucks it wolnt be as rare as it is now. if they do produce this i hope they dont make more than like 5k....they need to concentrate on upping the power in the lightnings before they start making new cars.

 

i saw that thing in dearborn on telegraph rd, going the other way, it looked real nice.

 

I think that's sweet....they would have to do some beefing to make up for the weight difference though.

 

I will be first in line..... If I remember correctly, it was faster 0-60 than the Lightning???? Or, maybe I am crazy... Does anyone remember the performance #'s???

The Expedition was like 2 tenths behind the 99 L.
The only advantage it had was the weight over the rear end that keeped it from breaking loose at WOT.
Because of the weight, it was still slower or should I say not as fast.

 

I think they call that beast "Thunder" and it has a lightning engine. A heard that is was going to be released as an '03.

 

Fellow Hoosier native and Lightning buddy L_Acious and I got to ride in this monster on IRP's 2.5 mile road course (at speed) with one of the driving instructors behind the wheel..

Lots of fun!! Right Frank!

Didn't do too shabby on the drag strip either..

 

I saw that thing run a 13.6 at 99mph at the MMFF Mod Motor Shootout when I was there.

 

Since Ford is putting the lightning engine in everything, I think I'll hold out for the Lightning powered Focus.

 

LOL!! sign me up for one of those!!
