1986 Ford Mustang SVO review from North America

"A rare, purebred, driver's car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Turbo seals began leaking around 110k miles.

Alternator failed around 135k miles.

Front cam seal needed replacing at 130k miles.

General comments?

Unique car, most people assume it's a 5.0. Car handles like a go-cart, almost no body roll when cornering hard, fair acceleration, but then again, if you just want to go fast in a straight line, the SVO isn't for you, it's designed for road course use and does the job exceptionally well, even by today's standards, in 84-86 (production years) it was far ahead of it's time.
