Yes, I hope they are reading this.

I can't believe how bad the site is. We are 4 days from the unveiling of the concept version of the next SVT Mustang and......NOTHING. Not a word about it. I am not expecting secret info. I just would like to see something like "stay tuned, the next SVT will be unveiled at NY Autoshow" and "20 lucky SVTOA members will be treated to a sneak preview."

You would think the company would be the best source of reliable information.

That is what I have been hearing. I'm surprised we haven't gotten some leaked info about it. I'm sure they signed an agreement, but, I thought somebody would let a little out.

I'm just saying, if someone that didn't frequent these boards wanted to know something about the Cobra, the first place they would look doesn't tell them much. They should use the web to promote the upcoming unveiling and anything else they can do to stimulate interest.

Actually the SVT website does work correctly on occasion. When it does work, it says stay tuned exciting times right around the corner. Or something like that. The little screen shot with the invisible car taking off needs to show up in the middle of the screen. You need to see the mountains and the sky. If it's at the top of the page, you won't see all the information. Here's the link to the site. If it doesn't work, try again. or try through a search engine like google. http://www.svt.ford.com/home.asp

I'm not complaining about its function. I'm complaining about its content. At this stage it shouldn't just say "stay tuned."

Another case for crummy web use:

Detroit News

Ford's own media site

Edmunds

All 3 of these have articles about the upcoming Adrenalin. I'm sure there are others.

SVT's own website, however, no mention of such a truck. they should either be the first or at least the same time as the media.

Seriousily, 500+ hp? Is this the supposed "z06 Killer" of fables past?

Really, 500+ hp? How much $$$ for 500+hp?

I had not even heard of "Adrenlin" until now, sorry. It's good to see that the Sport-Trac concept is going to have some sort of reality. Thanks for the info.

Think about it: they are trying to create a buzz around the Adrenalin. The Shelby needs no extra buzz.

But you would think that SVT/Ford would want to make some buzz about their own vehicles, instead of going somewhere else.

Oh, OK! My thought was that Ford leaked the Adrenalin info to create an underground buzz (much like the SVT info, etc).
That way, they get a second boost when the "official" unveiling takes place.
