I found my SNAKE easy enough and I would prefer that very few of the fools who might consider SVT couldn't find them. The hobby is full of people who are about show not go. As an aside did I read somewhere that Colletti has moved too?
Are you implying that buyers of GT's are about show, and not go? I'd love to give ya a run in a few years when I get my build up done on my GT for less then I'd pay for SVT variant. Seems to me the only kind of person that would say something like this who buys it only as a status symbol themselves.

Don't tell me that they canned Colletti. That stinks if they did. He saved the Mustang from becoming the Probe.

I am looking forward to the next Cobra being an m5/c6 fighter.

well... if rumors hold true, it's supposed to have upwards of around 500hp..... so it should be a pretty good contender.

No I was just at my dealer today and he told me as an example about a young kid with quick oilfield money in his pocket who showed up with an 03 Cobra and he 1. needed to change his flowmaster exhaust because he got 2 noise tickets and 2. he needed to get his speedo recalibrated after buying 2 cheap snow tires that were the wrong dia. As my dealer said the kid buys a 50k car and puts neon and 2 cheap snow tires on it. What do think is likly to happen to said young person in a few weeks when the snow falls?( I think I'll start watching the wrecking yards now ) I bought mine because its subtle,not flash.

Sounds like the "I have a PLAN" epidemic is quite contagious.

Status symbol? Please!

The Cobra is a better deal, from the factory, and with a warranty. Try modding a GT to the Cobra level and the one constant that will be factual is you will spend a lot more, with an excellent possibility of migranes and dealing with unreliable aftermarket companies, many which are excellent until you develop road blocks and problems. At the end, you'll still have a GT. If done for a long term or your personal satisfaction, then it's fine but if you decide to sell it, you'd be very lucky if you get 20 cents on the dollar on a private sale, and WILL get less than the average on a trade in.

ok number 1 ford has always said they would let the product speak for itself and not advertise any svt product by self imposed restrictions... Secondly jaguar racing is going away. Drivers have already been released of their contract and with the recent investment in the xk-8 and xj-8 series I highly doubt they are selling jaguar
