I am bummed to hear that also. All the SVT stuff was beyond my pocket book except for one, does any one remember the SVTFocus? Pretty reasonable priced for a pocketrocket... you would think with Daimler-Chryslers SRT program andthe SS line from GM(perhaps not as in league as the other two)
Ford would stay competitive, as far as green look at chevys flex fuel cornfield program...

Our Ford store already has orders placed for the Cobra. Good luck finding them for MSRP. If they're as popular (or more) as the C6 Z06, expect $20k+ over MSRP on the cars, putting it right in the range of a Z51 with $5K mark-up. The standard Vette is a much better engineered car, especially if it keeps up at only 400hp/400lbs/ft, but that Cobra will be more of a collectors item than the Z06.

The funny thing about that, Is Ford doesn't own the plant that the GT is built in. SALEEN does. Ford just owns the equipment, And the Employees.
