I wish they would update their site. That thing was shit-canned along time ago along with the rest of the SVT dept., which is too bad, I would've bought one.
2002 SVT Focus /for sale, 36000 miles, never driven in winter, and always stored.

Here's some info:
SVT's longtime executive staff is gone, and, oddly enough, so are the Ford executives who developed and executed SVT's demise.
Yes, the 2007 Mustang in Shelby Cobra trim is still coming, and yes, it was developed by SVT. And yes, it'll have SVT badges, because it's too late to take them off. But it is the last genuine SVT product.
By "genuine," I mean it was developed by SVT, from concept to execution, then sold through the network of 600 dedicated Ford SVT dealers, who paid to be part of SVT, sent employees to SVT training and stocked SVT parts. Any future Ford products that carry an SVT badge, and it is unlikely any will, will be more of a "suspension tuned by SVT"-type vehicle. And the 7,500 Shelby Cobra Mustangs sold for 2007 more, if they can get enough transmissions will be offered to all 3,900 Ford dealers, not just SVT participants.
SVT has had no dedicated products since 2004. A high-performance version of the new Sport Trac, called the Adrenalin, was shown at the New York auto show in March 2005. At a preview for journalists, SVT Director Hau Thai-Tang said that the Adrenalin "is going to turn the performance vehicle market upside down" when it goes on sale as a 2007 model. Then, last month, the Adrenalin was canceled as part of Ford's "Way Forward" restructuring campaign. "As part of our way forward, we are adjusting our product plan and decided not to produce the Sport Trac Adrenalin," said Ford spokesman Jon Harmon. The Ford GT supercar, which was developed largely by SVT engineers but was not called an SVT model, will end production later this year.
If you check the official SVT Web site, there remains a glowing story about the Adrenalin, and when it's coming to market. "I guess we're a little behind on that Web site," said one Ford executive. Yes, I guess.

Is a V8 Edge going to be made still? I read 330bhp on that bad boy. I'd buy one of them if it weren't for the fact we just bought an Envoy Denali.
Slower than your stock focus.

Drive a CX-7 or the Edge (same except for engines) and then say you'd rather have a MS6, i was blown away at how the CX-7 handled.

I'll take your word on it till I drive one. But in my case I have no use for a small sporty SUV/Crossover. If I would get an suv/pickup it would one 3/4 ton min and two a diesel.
I believe they updated the MS6 to MS3 engine specs.
