Keith,

I'll bet you'll be surprized.
Nothing really surprises me anymore but I am just questioning other than cosmetics and name, what performance characteristics such a car could offer to seriously cause Ford to want a competitor to SVT Cobra or Saleen? As I recalled, there was already one GT-350 project introduced in a late model and it was no big deal from a performance standpoint. In fact it may have been the reason for some of the Ford vs Shelby lawsuits during this period over the use of the name. So unless it is an SVE project led by the SVT it would make no sense for FORD to establish another design and development team to support such a car. Smells like another Eddie Bauer Edition IMHO.
