wow, I really cant believe how long it took for him to get the answer to a simple question... Heres a Summary though
SVT= Special Viechal Team
CSVT= Contour Special Viechal Team (also known as SVTC)
FSVT= Focus Special Viechal Team (also known as SVTF)
and so on and so forth, you catch the drift right?
Yeah, and dont worry about it if they push you arround a little. I find that rather dumb. I think its a good thing that you asked to find out some information, never be afriad to ask a question man.

No "so on and so forth" actually.
The others are just Lightning and Cobra - no "SVT" in front of or behind them.

The reason Dan maybe couldn't see that flash video saying, "Special Vehicle Team" is MAYBE because his browser doesn't have Macromedia plugin installed or something?
Not everyone is born knowing all the answers to everything:
SVT is a team of Special Ed mechanics and engineers who build cars they think are fast.

Actually, that's not correct. If we wanna get technical, the full names of the vehicles are:
SVT F150 Lightning
SVT Mustang Cobra
SVT should come first (Focus and Contour) before the model name.

Yes, but when someone refers to the vehicles, no one says "I drive a 2000 SVT F150 Lightning" or "I drive a 99 SVT Mustang Cobra".
Whereas when referring to the Focus or Contour, "SVT" must be stated before or after "SVT Contour/Focus" "Contour/Focus SVT".

One misconception is that a "Ford SVT" is only a Contour.

Dan,
Definately don't take it personally, and if you're ever afraid to ask a question, just PM me. I'll be glad to help you out again.
We're not all as jumpy.
PS: Plato, its good to see someone owning up for their actions, and taking some responsibility/appologizing. Good Job. It doesn't happen enough around here.

Well dan, just to one up ya, and show there's no hard feelings (coming from me at least) here's some more learning material on SVT that I dug up in some old car mags.
SVT basically started in 1984, with Special Vehicle Operations. SVO produced SVO Mustangs in 84, 85, and 86. The goal was pretty much the same as it is now, to create a race ready, enthusiasts street car. At Ford around these times, each department (Powertrain, Suspension, that kinda thing) had parts which it could "upgrade" the stock setup with, but these were often optional packages. SVT combined all these aftermarket upgrades into one department, and centralized the creation of SVT cars.
They operate on 4 principles: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity, and Value. Basically, a great, rare, powerful car with a Factory Warranty and backing. The actual Ford SVT program consists of around 100 people, therefore they usually only tackle putting their label and work into 3 models at a time. Obviously now they are the Mustang, Focus, and Lightening(the mispell was in one of the articles in one of my magazines.. you'd think if they were doing an article on SVT, they woulda spelled Lightning right?  ) Anywho, their most popular creation is probably the Mustang Cobra-R's (R for racing). They made them in 93, 95 and 2000. There's 300 of the 2000 Cobra-R's and most aren't raced anymore, so count yourself lucky to see one at a show or ESPECIALLY at a track.
HTH, Chris
