You either loved or hated the SVO Mustang, which boils down to either you got it or you didn’t. I can’t help but think the new EcoBoost Mustangs will garner the same response from the muscle-car community.
Latemodel Restoration’s latest build: the SVE Pace Car – Project 777. This killer S-197 was first fortified with plenty of suspension and rim/tire upgrades before it saw a ton of track lapping on many of the Texas road courses.
His license plate says, “SRY LSX,” and to be honest, it would take a seriously fast LS-powered car to take down this Coyote-powered S-197 with its simple, but effective single-turbo setup.
By today’s standards, Fox Bodies, and most muscle cars for that matter, aren’t considered safe. No airbags, no ABS, questionable seat belts, but hey: they had padded steering wheels, right? Well, having them, and having them stay in place during a crash is a different story as you’ll see.
