Default Re: SVT DEAD. (repost?)

While the article is probably true, it's not "official" official just quite yet.

I've known the writing was on the wall for a while. When I interviewed Tom Scarpello in '02 and asked him about the, then upcoming, SRT-4 he was confident about Ford being able to answer the challenge. When that didn't happen I was let down.

When John Coletti left, IMHO abruptly, my gut told me it was only a matter of time.

Everyone I've met at SVT were true car guys and it's a damn shame that it looks as if it's an end to an era. It comes down to resources, which they obviously haven't been given.
