I really wouldn't mind owning this beast.:eek2:

I'll take it...

Yeah, this is definitly VERY VERY good news. I saw that the Febuary 2002 edition of car and driver had pics splashed all over the cover. THey had a decent article. Basically, the summary of it was that as of yet, there is no plans for production, however it's not the first concept that they have made in recent years. They've basically used the F-150 Lightning engine, but redone the heads to double the valve count. The figure on 6-8 psi of boost, and 500 hp. The designers have said that the car will have tremendous low end grunt, which is good news for all us non ricers. AND, for all those who are not big fans of vipers, they are designing the thing to whup it off the line. (As for handling, I'm betting the MK I could take it...) And for the older generation, they plan to keep it simple, no active differentials, electronic shocks, blah blah blah... they will however have a 6 speed. And for all those who think it will help to write fan mail, here's the address for Ford's Customer Assistance Dept.
Ford Motor Company

P.O.Box 6248

(I couldn't find any addresses to the design department)
