I know that ford shut down SVT. Most of the engineers no longer work for ford. Even most of top management has been disbanded and gone elswhere.

I don't think there were too many customers that went to the dealership and couldn't make up there mind. ("Oh I just cant decide, should I get the GT500, or the Lightning?")

Don't get me wrong, I've seen and heard a couple of GT500's up close.. best looking, best sounding cars I've ever seen or heard!!.. Ferrari's, Lambo's included... Thanks to the SVT I'm damn sure!
Now, hopefully, they'll be able to turn their attention back to the F150 and Mustang.. It's been toooooo long!!!!!!

Yes, btw, I KNOW the GT500 was designed/engineered by SVT, hence the reason I would remove all of the Shelby BS and replace it with SVT.

Most people are buying these cars because of the name Shelby, even though SVT designed and engineered the car. If you're calling me a dumbass because I would remove the Shelby badging and replace it with SVT badging then the jokes on you. Shelby had nothing to do with the car.

The 2005 Shelby GT500 should have been called the 2005 SVT Cobra.
Much like the new 2008 Shelby GT500KR should have been called the 2008 SVT Cobra R.
