After all, it included what many had on their wish list: a supercharged engine, a six-speed transmission, and an independent rear suspension. But instead of specifying an aluminum block, as it had from 1996, SVT engineers chose an iron-block. Whether the decision was made out of concern for durability or cost, many believed the iron-block was a step backward--adding weight to an already nose-heavy car.
