I heard SVT got the axe. No new lightning, no new Cobra, no new supercharged focus. Sounds like a Ford plan to me.

As well, a few people ive talked who've seen some people trying to fab up blower kits say they DO NOT like the boost. A mustang that dont take boost, whats the world coming to? Could just be a bunch of crap, but we'll know for sure soon enough.
There are like a hundred blown '05s at SEMA right now...

My mods?? In the sig.

Sorry Im off by 1hp http://www.modularmustangs.net/showthread.php?t=8993, BTW you can tune it stock and put down about 300rwhp look at the AF.

From what I read they are lighter, 3400-3500#s, ain't F-Bodys like 3600#s atleast mine is.

Nope, just a rumor. SVT product developement was put on hold while they focused on the Ford GT. Now production has shifted to the next Cobra which will be out in 2006, and then possibly the lightning from there.

I'd expect them to be running mid 13's once people have had their hands on them for awhile and get them broken in. The average driver will probably hit low 14's or high 13's. The way I see it, these cars are just the base platform that everyone is going to be building up from. I would expect to see better performing versions coming down the line in the near future.
