Try that, you can purchase it right there too for $2300, Im assuming its the same engine you are talking about, it says Zetec.

Don't know about SVT model.
This a pic of the Focus 2000 GHIA selling in Japan. Engine is called "Zetec E".
Engine Spec says...
IL4, DHOC 16-valve, 2-liter(1969cc), Bore/Stroke: 83.0x91.0, Compression Ratio: 10.1:1, 131ps/5500rpm, 18.2mkg/4500rpm.

The standard Zetec produces 130 HP

The SVT version has many differences, and produces 170 HP

It has variable timing intake camshaft, variable length intake runners, and makes decent torque down low, I believe 80% of peak torque is available from 2000 rpm through most of the powerband. There are many, many differences between the "standard" 2.0 Zetec and the SVT version. Check out the Ford website for specifics, they should have something there.

Oh, one more thing. The standard Zetec has a redline somewhere shy of 6000 rpm. The SVT version has a redline over 7000 rpm. It obviously has hotter camshafts, and breathes much better. Still, there's always room for improvement, although the engineers are doing better and better.
