I thought that was the plan all along, remember the power lease ? Didnt Ford say Lightning would be out Summer 05 and Cobra would be out in late 05/early 06.

BTW- You planning on going to Gingerman in few weeks ?

I have started the ball rolling to have 30 to 35 people tour our Plant where the new Gen 3 engine will be built. Our people feel it should be no problem.

So I'll keep you all posted.

Suavy, I'll be up your way the week of LFest, (instead of going to LFest, bummer). As many times asa I've been there I've yet to find a decent restaurant in Dearborn, can you help a brother out for Saturday night, the 25th and show me where to get a decent steak with 10 miles of the Dearborn Inn?

Cliff no big brakes for me, I did remove the brake shields and will run drier ducting to help cool them off. I went to Mid America in May( My 1st event ) and brake fade was terrible even with Hawk pads.

Gregg,

Just an FYI. Kiernan's steak house is right at Mich. Ave one block west of Oakwood. Just north of the Daerborn Inn. They have excellent steak. If you want one of the best C/burgers at lunch time in Dearborn, Go to Millers Bar on Mich. Ave between Outerdrive and Telegraph.

Real Velveeta cheese on them and have been voted Best burger 2004. Onion rings are the best also. They work on the Honor system there. When you're ready to leave, tell the bartender what you had and he rings it up. No paper bill.

Dave.
