Lame excuse to control costs. Can't pull the big buck they need . They have lost a couple product lines since "Bill" did his restructuring. IMO the 1999 is a solid car. Not your average Joe Mustang. The big deal over the .6 deficiency in 0-60 times and the HP difference IMO is not an issue. Who is buying one of these SVTs from the dealer room floor and then on Saturday hooking this thing up at the track?

False advertising, yep! That, you can get in trouble for. And, they did by having to issue the recall and remodify to spec. But all the ho hum over a recall for a bunch of performance upgrades to increase your 0-60 time huh? The COUPLE people I have talked to that own these SVT cars barely have the right to own them. They pay for them and then treat them lke a Geo Metro. DRIVE that thing already. The 68 MPH vibe. Shoot, I get that in my damb V-6. What are they going to stop producing their base model V-6 now too?

Lame Executive Marketing Gu-rus....They suck!

Jane,
I don't know who you know that own Cobra's but everyone down here runs 'em hard. See 46stang for a prime example of what I'm talking about. And the 0-60 stuff? When you hang your hat on a bhp number and a time slip, you better be darn sure the thing will dyno and hustle down the 1320 like you say it will.

So they delay a couple of Snakes. Yeah, that will make people mad. I'm not sure that there are any pre-orders still awaiting delivery, as I saw two unsold ones at a dealer here last week.

Personally, I'm waiting for Ford to spary bore the block, and Clay smith to work out a cam. So FoMoCo sitting on some cars doesn't bother me much.
