Would be cool... given the 03/04's were at ~425 I sure don't see 450 being a
problem. BUT.. I can only hope. I have heard both "yes there will be one"
and "no there won't be one".. so I don't necessarily EXPECT one, but I do
HOPE there is one at the LATEST 2007 model.

I think that when Ford announces it's intent, THEN it will be something to
be half assed believed.

I know the Mustang itself is a cornerstone of Ford.
They'll sell something like 200,000 this year which will
be worth around $5 billion. Ford also makes good profits
off them, especially when they charge 10%+ interest rates
when you lease a V8 from them directly. But what was the
profitability of the SVT division? Is boosting the number of models
the way to make it into something it isn't/wasn't right now?

Well, that does make sense, but the market seems to say differently.
Just look at all the high powered cars coming out right now.
Then again, it could all collapse at once and these cars would be
worthless except for some limited produced cars.
You'd find suv's rotting away in backyards. :-)

Ford refusing to give the cobra what it puts in a standard base model
family sedan in austrailia. figures.

There's supposed to be a version of the upcoming Cobra at next week's New
York auto show. Should be interesting to see what they put out there.
