first svt scrapped the lightning, and then an article came out and svt is no more...so right now there is no high performance team from ford. GT is the highest mustang model, so they were looking for someone else to pick up the pieces and produce a truely kickass cobra. I cant find the article, but im sure someone will post the link.
no there was an article about it but i cant fint id
ah i found it
http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...5&pagenumber=1
i know, but if it comes from that site, they know their stuff....i hear dodge is dropping its performance company (dont know what its called) as well
svt still exsist they are now working on the new cobra , they just say it doesent exsist because it isnt going to make cars for like two years
They are not gone, just on an engineering break. I bet the 07 is going to be a nice SVT model to own.
11 Lb Powerdyne, Spec Stage III, Aluminum FlyWheel, 3.90 Gears, GT40 Intake, C&L Mass Air, MSD Ignition, and a 100 Shot of giggle gas for fun!

I don't buy it and neither do a bunch of guys in that thread from svtperformance. If it where true it would be at blueovalnews.com and in reputable printed publications.
However if it does go down I would hope for Carrol Shelby to pick up the pieces and then maybe Jack Roush's organization.
Keep the faith - SVT faith that is.

SVT will have the cobra in 06. The have decided to scrap the lightning, but I was told by a very reliable souce that SVT will have the Cobra they are just laying low right now. He was also talking about it being 500HP off the lot
i dont know carol shelby is getting kinda old and i dont trust his judgement much anymore...did u see the cobra rims he had on his mustang when he was on rides? no way!
The fact that Shelby was driving a 03-04 Sonic Blue Cobra is more than enough for me!
I don't care if he's a hundred!
2004 Cobra
Pulley/JLT/Tune
The lighting and focus are gone for now. But the cobra is not 06 or 07 it will be back.
One of the guys i know is doing a steeda 05 stang and he said there will be a cobra still just no lighting or focus.

It's like if a cobra and a saleen had a kid, it grew up, and kicked the sh*t out of it's parents, this is what it would look like.
Rumors, rumors, rumors.
Hau Thai-Tang was just promoted a couple weeks ago to run SVT, now John Coletti's boss. His charter is to take SVT to a new level starting with the 2006 Cobra.
These things get a life of their own
As far as Shelby is concerned, if a new Shelby Mustang comes to life it will be one of two things.........
A) An aftermarket conversion like Roush, Saleen, Steeda, etc that Ford will keep their hands clean of.
B) A car built entirely by Ford with the Shelby name on it under license.
The last time I talked to the people in the control center, they were still not sure how this was going or not going to transpire.

Shelby is building his version of the 05 mustang...talked to some one who has seen it and i know his rep. He is not full of BS.
just wait and see is my take on it all.
