I think it would be cool if ford did a true successor to the Daytona coupe. It’s always been my favorite car, and I think it would be cool if ford would switch between making the GT and Daytona every few years. There is precedent since ford made the Shelby gr1 concept several years back. Do I believe this will actually happen? No, but my best guess is some mustang variant. Maybe the GT500, maybe the RTR mustang. I’m guessing it’s nothing related to CE1 though.
SVT was the thing when I was in high school, pretty sure SVO was gone by the time I was paying attention. Doesn't really matter, like everyone else said, but SVT would be my preference if they were doing one of them.
SVT has always been my favorite. I’d love to see it come back again. Never cared for SVO. Ford Performance and Ford Racing have always sounded like aftermarket parts to me.
SVT just sounded cool and people would include it in the name, SVT cobra, SVT lightning, etc, but I’ve never heard anyone say “here’s my ford performance raptor”, and no one will say that with ford racing either.
Like rmc said, it doesn’t really matter though.

So true, you had to live it to remember the impact Ford made then! The early 80’s as Ford downsized their models they had some (now looking back) real design duds, so when they shifted to emphasize aero design it was so exciting. And Ford brought these looks to mainstream America, capturing a Euro look that us car enthusiasts longed for.
One big moment I remember about the Taurus/Sable debut was that once it was reviewed in magazines, we only then heard about how much of a drivers car it was designed to be. Prior to that it was all about bringing advance design to the mainstream but then to hear how much they benchmarked the Euro brands and then to hear reviews of how great it felt to drive, it was a real moment in time of the era! Finally a mainstream US car with European ride and drive. And every model got to get this, even the most basic Taurus L (which my dad got as a company car in 1986) drove great!
Someone above asked if it tested well…I think Ford was very concerned of such a big change in their lineup that they kept the midsize LTD and Marguis (based on the Fairmount) around as they were concerned of the T/S’s reception. But soon after they saw what I hit it was, and ended those models early.
