    Tom Scarpello's Reply to me

    I agree. In fact, it has been reported that the Lightning will be no more in many popular news forums. But, nowhere in this message from Tom Scarpello does it say that. He says, as you pointed out, postponed! And, he gave me the feeling that he and Team SVT have a disagreement with management...

    Can't let them take away SVT now can we? If they chop the Lightning with no resistance, who's to say the Cobra isn't next!

    The 05 V6 has forged rods and the GT doesn't???

    I don't disagree with you, at all. But, to the mass consumer, that is, the stupid people, will go goo goo gah gah and buy something because of a neat gizmo. Not for some internal parts they never get to see or even know the difference. Like someone else said, 99% of buyers aren't going to mod...

    '05 Roush

    I agree with an exception. There is one thing nice about it: color keyed mirrors.

    This is regarding an email I sent to him regarding the SVT Lightning. Dear Mr. Miranda, Thank you very much for taking the time to write to express your feelings regarding Ford's decision to postpone the launch of the next-generation SVT F-150 Lightning. By any measure, the SVT F-150...

    18" option coming

    The 18's were supposed to be ready for the 2005 launch, but a manufacturing delay caused them to abandon, temporarily, the 18" option. The 18's will become an option across the board on GT's in Mid-Feb when the convertible comes out.

    O/T. We need your help !!!!

    I don't disagree... at all. But, a pissed off public may have a powerful voice... that doesn't mean they have to listen. How powerful is the voice going to be regarding the Lightning? If I recall correctly, there was the voice of opposition heard load and clear by Chevy from the Camaro...

    O/T. We need your help !!!!

    Ummm...... I'm all for saving the Lightning. I like 'em. Never owned one tough. But, you have to realize that Ford doesn't care how many people like the truck, they care how many people BUY the truck. They are in business to make money. It costs a hell of a lot of money to design and build a...

    Need help w/ Finding Invoice

    I looked there before and didn't see any invoice prices. If there is a number there, it cannot be a fake for legal reasons. They can be sued for "gross misrepresentation."

    I want this one.

    My understanding is the wheels will become an option when the convertible comes out, Mar 2005. They were supposed to be an option this year, but a manufacturing delay prevented that.

    05 Interior Color Choices

    I have yet to see, even on Brad's site, some pics of the leather interior in Medium Parchment. If any one has any pics of it, please post them! Brad's site has the Medium Parchment interior for the V6, but nothing of the interior for the GT.

    Estimated Price of conv. or SVT 05

    Opinions vary. And in terms of the Mags saying high 400's, my personal feeling is that it's a bunch of hype. Much like the concept cars. It's a hook. Logistically and from a pricing stand point, I doubt it will be that high. But, that is just my opinion. I hope I'm wrong and all of you are...

    Estimated Price of conv. or SVT 05

    Historically speaking (circa 2004), the Base GT Converts are about $4,340 more than the Base GT Coupe. So figure the Base 2005 GT Vert will be about $30,887. The Base Cobra Coupe was $10,330 more than the Base GT Coupe. So figure the Base 2007 Cobra Coupe to be at least $36,660 and the Base...

    Great driving though! Nice recoveries!

    How much better is the three valve over the two?

    Considering we're getting 40 more horses without any significant change in price and the same, if not better gas mileage, I'd take those 40 more horses any day of the week! I think it's great!

    What did you pay for your '05 Mustang?

    Not a bad perk? For deploying to Iraq, they should give you one for nothing! My hats off to all men and women who serve!
