When will we see More Horsepower to Compete with the Upcoming Camaro,Challenger and The Current GTO. The Shelby is there but they will not be Produced in Great enough Numbers to Satisfy the Power Hungy Stangers. Also we Know Supply and Demand will kill the affordability of The Shelby.

I'm scheduled for dinner with Carroll Shelby and Hau Thai-Tang on Sunday night, January 8. What burning questions do you have??

I was in the auto business for many years and GM had to be very aware of the '05 development;
Do you think GM not responding in kind to the Mustang was a GM mistake (I like to call it a bowtieblunder), or was it on purpose?

I second that. I would also be curious to learn about any upgrades/changes to the 2007 GT, (e.g. any power boost or exterior changes) and any details on the GT/CS.

They won't say anything about anything that isn't available now or that wasn't unveiled at NAIAS--even colors. And remember, Hau is SVT now--he'd probably be game for questions on SVT management, GT500 allocation, and the SVT Adrenalin, as well as the general automotive industry.

edit :revised my questions...
1) Why not a twin screw supercharger on the GT500? In general how does the cost/performance decisions get made?
2) How can TMS help Ford? (Market research validation?)
3) If applicable: Ask why Ford isn’t quicker into the 'post sale’ market. Will they be in the future?
Have you looked at the 05/06 Mustang accessories catalog? In my opinion it’s very weak.
Look at what Harley Davidson does for bike customizations and post sale merchandise - I think there is big potential for Ford here.
There was a thread started recently link on what type of ‘GENUINE FORD ACCESSORIES’ options we would like to see and there were lots of good ideas. These should have been available already or shortly after the 2005 were released IMO.

Ask them if they visit your site. If yes, ask them if they want my autograph.

I agree about asking them if they visit the site and if you could ask them to take all our suggestions into consideration and ask them why weight wasnt a factor obviously when building the new car

1.) Will there be a Shelby Mustang GT350 in the future? 4.6L 350-400hp??
2.) SE Mustangs: When? What? Mach1, Boss etc.
3.) SVT Fusion? Mazdaspeed6 has all wheel drive, 6 speed and 274hp. Can we expect to see that in the Fusion?

Brad, please ask Hau if SVT is going to expand across the model lines, and if Mercury will ever be considered for an SVT version?
Also, ask Carroll, now that he has come just about full circle with Ford, are there any projects left, that he wants to complete?

Carroll did hint in an article I recently read that he is pushing some ideas with Ford.
