We knew who the chief engineer on the S197 Mustang was - Hau Thai Tang. We knew who the lead stylist was: Sid Ramnarace.

We know that HTT moved on to chief of SVT and then moved up to running Ford Brazil. So who's working on Mustang development now? Anyone who hangs around this forum?

 

heh, possible. but if they do lurk here they likely keep a tight lip about it, AmyB's a bit of an exception.

 

Even if they don't post or have an account... I'm sure they lurk

 

Word is a disgruntled Ford fan is holding colleti at gunpoint in the Ford building forcing him to run things until the 09's come out.

 

Word also has it that despite being held at gun point with the possibility of being shot dead, any descision Colleti makes will have go to the excitement oversight commitee to make sure either does not exceed acceptable levels based on thier Toyota benchmark. They send thier sincerest apolgies if he has "to take one for the team".

 

Prayers would be answered if he could come back!!!!

 

Far be it for me to ask a dumb question, but who's this Colleti guy?

 

For starters, Colleti was mainly responsible for the '03/'04 SVT Cobras being the cars they are - probably one of his greatest contributions to the Mustang legacy.

 

The Terminator Cobra? Yeah, that sounds like a great thing. Is he still with Ford?

 

colleti left in like 2004....

 

He also brought the SVT Lightning to life, i had a new 2001, great truck.

 

I am always Looking for the Bigger Better Deal! Hey Ford Make me an Offer I can't refuse! I have a Slight Clue what Mustang enthusiasts Want! I am Going on My Third s197 Mustang Already!

Go Get Em!!!!

Kev...I think you are making too much money off of us if you are able to do that......

 

No, my credit is just too Good! My stomach turns Everytime I think of the payments on the GT-500 I have ordered!

 

so the gt500 is going to be your 4th s197?

 

he said hes going on his 3rd, I think the gt500 is his third

 

oh i got it..i read it as going on meaning currenly using the 3rd. but now that you say that it does seem to be his 3rd.

EDIT: Paul Randle is Hau Thai-Tang's successor.

 

John Colletti was the father of the SN-95 Mustang, just as Hau-Tai-Tang was the father of the current S-197 Stang..
