The current Lightning is rated at 12 mpg city, 16 mpg highway. That's pretty bad and gas prices keep going up I can see the logic but it sucks cause they are so bad @ss

Did it mention the '06 Cobra being held until '07, I don't really care for lightnings, but I'd like to see the Cobra to keep on going.

Just means that it'll probably be even better when it does come out. They were gone for a few years before the current one came out, and look at what a success that is.

It sounds as if cutting the Lightning pushed the Cobra up a year, which is a good thing... so there's a silver lining to this cloud.
