That's bull****. How are they gonna ditch the L? SVT is stupid. They went from covering the market, to just having the Cobra. Putting all your eggs in one basket isn't smart business.
I'm in the market for a Lightning. I've been looking around and the prices are decent on the used ones.
Maybe I should just by a GM.
So what it comes down to, is SVT was given some competition with the SRT and they quit? I know that's not true, but it appears that way.
Very Angry!!!!!

If that's true, I guess I'll be in line for a new Cobra when they come out...
or maybe it just gives me an excuse to hold on to the blue truck for a while longer?
in which case, I won't be waving a flag at dodge, something else maybe...

The C6 Z06 may be a little more time, too, but at least GM is working hard to get it done. Ford just continues to drop the ball.
I've bought 4 SVT vehicles since their inception ('94 L, '96 Cobra, '99 L, '04 L). We consumers have proven that there is a market for these vehicles. Instead of spending the $$ and manpower to give us what we want, Ford would rather go off and build 3000 GT's at a price that is exhorbitant.
We've complained for years for Ford to build a 2-seater that can compete with the Vette. The GT doesn't count b/c its 3x the price.
Ford can just bite me on this one.

Now it's so exclusive NOBODY will have one.
This is breaking SVT's promise, vision, and business case.
And for my .02 cents, this belongs in the Lightning area where
everyone can find it. It is after all, if true, the biggest news in
years.
Ford just finished losing another market share point this past
quarter. Now this ... Dayum ...
