Re: The next performance car after the GT?
SVT died on April 1 this year and no that was not a joke
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=109512 California Special - nothing more than a pony package for the GT http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...66#post3988666 GT Hertz – limited to only 500 units sold to Hertz rent a car “SVT” Fusion - if it is built it will be nothing more than its Mazdaspeed counter part Bullitt - on hold Mach 1 - on hold GT350 Mustang - no official word on this Boss - no official word on this (Team Shinoda still has use of the name BOSS on the mustang) Lightning - was canceled in late 2004 Adrenaline - was canceled as part of Ford’s "Way Forward" restructuring campaign this year Lincoln is going to be competing with Cadillac more just have a look at this ugly grill Blue oval news is largely propaganda. Yes there is some good info there but trust nothing on the forums about future cars and never listen to their hype. Just take a look at how they hype up the GT/CS Quote:

Re: The next performance car after the GT?
I don't think I claimed the CS/GT to be anything more than a package, and as for Lincoln competing with Cadillac I still don't see that happening anytime soon with the exception of big SUVs. Eveything else from Lincoln seems to be glorified Mazdas and Volvos, all FWD based platforms, with AWD options but still FWD based. I agree the Navi is butt ugly especially with that grill. As a metter of fact Lincoln in general is loosing the trademark "waterfall" grill on all it's models. When Jay Mays left it started a downward spiral.

Re: The next performance car after the GT?
The loss of the DEW98 is what doomed the Lincoln car line up. The LS was really their only great car and its replacement is crap. Untill there is a production IRS for the S197 Lincoln will not have a good starting point to work from.

Turbochargers with variable geometry has been used before. The 1989 Dodge Shelby Shadow CSX VNT used movable vanes around the turbine. |

The Shelby GT-H is going to be an auto only car and the GT500 is only going to be made with a TR6060 6-speed manual. Why don’t you go over to SVTperformance and ask how many people want an auto in the GT500. The numbers may surprise you.

Re: The next performance car after the GT?
well all i know is that ford needs to come up with something, right now they are about the only company that doesnt have a really high performance car in its lineup, that is after the GT is officially gone.

It just “snazzy stripes”, a hood, and bumper there is no performance to be found in this beyond what is in the base GT." Hm, perhaps that's what they meant by "the uniquely STYLED" but hey, that's just my take on it... ;-)

Re: The next performance car after the GT?
When you hear Boss, Mach 1, and to a lesser extent Bullitt you think performance not just looks. The GT/CS should NEVER be mentioned in context with those cars. Then this comment "While the competition scrambles once again to play catch-up to Ford" so what is this a looks competition now? If so Ford lost. The Charger Daytona looks much better even with 4 doors.
