Sorry this is not really 2010 related but........
is there any chance of seeing a "regular cobra" anytime soon or in the future? no not a shelby, just a plain svt cobra to add to fords lineup? any chance this could be in fords next chapter of plans?
|
Nope! Why would they compete a "regular" Cobra with the Shelby GT500? Shelby is making plenty of variants, not to mention Saleen, Roush and others.
|
Never happen.
|
Well, SVT was dead...until the new Raptor...but as long as Shelby has signed on, the Shelby GT500 took the Cobra's place, although it would be a nice thing for Ford to do, and have the Shelby be the next step up, but that is what the Shelby GT is for...
|
Now, an SVT Fusion or a new SVT Focus *cough* RS *cough* would be nice. But Ford has been outsourcing to Shelby and FMF a lot!
|
well i guess its nice to dream about it atleast

I can't imagine they have any reason to do an SVT Cobra. SVT already has a Mustang (the -500) and their limited resources would be wasted (from an overall perspective) doing multiple Mustang models. If you want something between the -500 and the GT, and don't like the Shelby GT, hope for a non-SVT performance edition suchs as a new Mach 1 or BOSS. |
the gt500 is an svt vehicle, it is the cobra.

SVT never went anywhere, they just focused on fewer products. They did the Ford GT. The GT-500 was designed, developed, and Built by SVT (Shelby just lent his name to it).

Actually, SVT is gone in just about every sense. If any part of it lives on, it seems to be mostly in name only. Read this for details:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=109512 There are two current SVT products. |
A rose by any other name ... not sure if the world "SVT" has any substance left in but as a marketing moniker, but perhaps the 5.0 might be released under either the Shelby (350?) name or Boss (302? 5.0?) name, or even Cobra, as a model between the standard GT and the GT500.

That article is from 2006. Not the most current or relevant article to post. Why post it?
There are two current SVT products. BTW, my point was that SVT, if it even exists today, isn't the SVT we all know from years ago. It's nothing more than a name now, without the team of people behind that like when it was cranking out the various SVT vehicles. |

As far as SVT existing as nothing more than a name, I wonder how the development of the GT, GT500 & Raptor progressed . . . . |
Oh, don't worry. I wasn't really sorry. That was sarcasm, in case you didn't recognize it.

I wish Ford had kept the SVT Cobra. The Shelby name adds cost to the vehicle. Colletti would have built a better S197 special edition. I would have loved to have seen what he could do with the new chassis. His team did amazing things with a wet noodle archaic chassis.

Why such angst? I have no issue with how you view SVT or in a larger matter the 2010 Mustang. I was simply pointing out another perspective in a decent manner and yet you continue to post in such a negative fashion. Are you wanting 'push back' so you can continue to post in the manner for which you have been for the past couple of days? If that is the case please advise and the situation can remedy itself rather quickly . . . . Well cool . . . please share. I am always opening to reading about the inner workings of SVT . . . or lack thereof. |
