[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 14226437, member: 21786"] A change in philosophy is the only thing needed for them go achieve this. The SVTs have always used a larger, heavier engine which was where most the weight came from. Now we're looking at the SVT potentially using the same engine although reworked to either an NA 5.2 or some sort of SC variant of the 5.0 or 5.2. So instead of a big, heavy 5.4/5.8 they are only adding weight with a blower. Both cars will have IRS but then the SVT will most likely utilize aluminum and carbon fiber extensively. I would also anticipate a model that's similar to a Laguna Secs further reducing the curb weight. Ford will be saving money by using the Coyote across the line and not having a separate line for the Trinity. Also, is the GTs Coyote block Iron or Aluminum this go around? If it's still iron then expect big weight savings as I'm sure they'll stick with Aluminum for the SVTs. [/QUOTE]
