Don't understand this truck

btw, I still don't like the fact that the GT500 is an SVT product with Shelby's name slapped all over it. The Shelby name does help sell the car though.

I'd like to see an SVT Fusion.

personally i have never like the fact that they called it cobra simply because it gets mixed up with the 60's roadster and todays kit cars. the mustang cobra should have been named after a fast race horse or special breed of mustangs.
even that does not look right mustang cobra? 2 different animals to name one car?

I preferred it just being called the Mustang Cobra.

The GT 500 is NOT an SVT product. The Raptor is the only SVT for sale at this time.

Where are the other SVT vehicles ? So much for the health of SVT.

Someone mentioned an SVT Fusion. Sounds good to me. An upsized V6 say 3.8 and turboed with AWD would be OK.

And the Adrenalin could be brought back to life, an AWD sport-trac with the Shelby Cobra engine and say a 6spd auto.

Dream on I suppose.

You make the call.



















Any questions?!?!

Nice!!

The GT 500 has SVT all over it in small places. So what. It was not an SVT official project, they did not develop it. It was done by a different team and labeled as a Shelby. The SVT was added afterwards for a little extra something. Why is a mystery.

It has not been marketed as an SVT product.

You can get the Fusion with the 3.5 and AWD. Ecoboost and a little SVT badge would be so easy.

Well keep dreaming, cause at the end of this year the sport trac will be dead.

svt did the research and design work on the gt500. svt also engineered the car. svt built the car. svt tested the car. ask anyone of the employees at svt and they will tell you they did all the work in developing and creating the gt500 mustang! this is why svt name is all over the gt500!

We ( wifes car) presently own an 07 Fusion with AWD. Nice car.

As far as the Sport trac Adrenalin goes, I suppose some enterprising individual could create his own.

Take an AWD Adrenalin and yank out the 4.6 3V and drop in a 4.6 DOHC complete out of a wrecked Cobra.

Wonder how much trouble it would be to mate the Cobra motor to the auto trans etc.
