Jeff Frahm’s Stable of Modern Performance Fords
Jeff Frahm calls his 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost, which uses a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder engine, “the spiritual successor to the SVO.” For younger Mustang fans who might not know, Frahm was referring to a technically sophisticated but poorly selling turbocharged Mustang from four decades ago. He knows the SVO well because he bought one new back in 1985 and still owns and drives it, with 32,000 miles showing.
The EcoBoost has light mods for track driving, while the SVO remains factory stock. Having tracked both cars, Frahm has a healthy perspective on what 40 years of progress has done for the Mustang. He’s also seen firsthand how Ford’s evolved its performance vehicle offerings over the years.
He is also the proud owner of a 1989 Ford Taurus SHO and 2002 Ford Focus SVT.
