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!!!!!

Looking to buy a Lightning in the next couple months.
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.
Sal told me about this 2 weeks ago but I did not want to be the one to break it on the boards. that sucks but at least my audi will be paid off by then

correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought FORD was getting rid of the SVT badge and changing it over to "SV" or "ST" or something like that.
yeah I heard that through the "grapevine" about a week or so ago... I didn't want to say anything though and well read the sig..

I am convinced more and more each day that the average Lightning owner's IQ is about room temperature -- measured in Celcius.
The only thing that has kept me here as long as I have is the few people who actually understand the scientific method -- or at least can spell it But those bright shining stars of sanity are being drown out by the droning of the moronic masses.
What this board needs is a good old fashioned enema, purging the stupid and tasteless. Rude I can take, but the ignorance is becoming more than I can handle. But that won't happen. We are all too concerned about not hurting anyone's feelings (fewer subscribers means fewer ad hits, which means less SV $).
So let's all just kick back and enjoy the glow of brotherhood. No reason to let little things like truthfulness, intellectual honesty, reason -- or candor -- get in the way of a lovefest.
