No more SVT Cobra?!?
 

I just got back from the dealership, and they said Ford is no longer going to produce the SVT Cobra. Said all upper performance Mustangs are going to be handled through Saleen. Anybody hear that?

On another note: I got to sit in the new Ford GT...that thing is bad ass!

i could have sworn i saw a cobra pic of the new stang that was black and yellow. maybe im confused. either way those saleens are pimp

Yeah, they had a bunch of the Saleen's and one Roush at the dealership...but none of those were supercharged. The Saleens had only 25 extra horsepower for the extra $20,000. Sorry...don't think so. $42K? The SC version is supposed to be just under $60K and the Extreme version somewhere in the mid-upper 60s...400hp, 500hp, respectively. Damn overpriced if you ask me. I've got a 516hp Saleen right now I'd sell for just $20K with a practically brand new drivetrain.

Of course, I do have to acknowledge that guy might have just been a dumbass and hadn't a clue what he was talking about.

only thing svt is producing is the stang, no more lightning and so forth

no more lightning!? aww that sucks.. that truck is a fucking beast

They did mention no more Focus...didn't mention the Lightning, but up against Dodge's SRT-10, it's no wonder. They did specifically state no more SVT Cobras though...just the GT and V6 through Ford and higher performance through Saleen. Are you sure about this? I can't find any information on Ford's website.

yes im sure, ford is focused on selling another 900,000+ F series trucks, they couldnt sustain the cost of the lightning.

i was told at the dealership, that the convertible 05 gt's, were not going to be out till november....yet i read just about everywhere on the net, that they will be out in the spring.

rule #1 in life....
never believe a car salesman

I hear that. He wasn't really trying to sell me the Mustang GT, since he already knew I had the Saleen and the '03 Cobra...it just wouldn't be a reasonable performance trade. I guess that's why he showed me the Ford GT (for $300K!!!...a 100% markup).

Oh well, Ford sucks dick anywya. Fucked On Race Day
