Talking Wallpaper 12: SVT Epinephrine

Since so many people think the SVT Adrenaline will make a poor "sequel" to the Lightning, I decided to experiment with a (possibly) more appropriate successor. Behold the SVT Epinephrine! (yes that name is a joke)

Changes include:
- Chopped off extra doors, made cab taller, extended bed
- Subtle restyling of the front fascia and rear bumper
- Bright satin-silver trim around headlights, foglights, taillights, and fender vent
- Side-exit exhaust
- 22" wheels with twirled spoke design
- Works 140 supercharger kit to help that little 4.6!

[EDIT] I did a few more colors...

Hi-resolution (1600 x 1200) versions:

Red
Yellow
White
Blue
Black
Silver

There's a 140 for the Cobra, not sure if the existing kit and plumbing would fit directly in the Sport Trac (I imagine there's more room?).

Wow, looks really nice, I would buy it! Maybe 20"s instead of 22"s though...

You guys should try driving the new Sporttrac with just the 3 valve 4.6 in it. It honks!!!! I think the SVT Sporttrac is going to be a great little truck but I don't consider it a replacement for the "L"! Heck it's going to be released in 2 and 4WD. Plus I happen to like the Sporttrac anyway. Alot of guys have been talking about a 4WD SVT so here you go.

Hehe, it is kind of a sick parody of itself, isn't it?

I added a few more colors:

Yellow

Well id love this version if its cab was a bit more square, almost like the one of the F150 in your sig. Sept without that "stepdown".

Great job man! They should build this if there isn't gonna be an L. Drop that new cobra engine in, a six speed manual, and HELL yeah! Looks great in black and blue! Seriously, send this to SVT. They should consider a regular cab version. Round of applause for bmwman!
