Oh ye, of little faith...

Let's go back 10 years ago. Back then did we think there was a
snowball's chance in hell we'd ever see a new:

Bullitt Mustang
Mach 1
Supercharged Cobra Mustang, and one putting out 400 HP
GT-40 (Ford GT)
True retro-style Mustang ('05)
300HP in the standard GT Mustang
Shelby Mustang (GT-500)

C'mon, Joe. Give Ford some credit. Yeah, financially they're getting
their *** kicked right now, but at least they're fighting back. A
lucky us, part of their fight is for us enthusiasts.

Frankly, I'm tired of the rhetoric I keep hearing. Ford is like the boy
who cried wolf. As I've always said, show me the product. What
happened to the Adrenaline and Lightning as a couple of examples?
Excuses abound...

If they plan to rename the Hurricane for release, why not simply
call
it the "Cleveland"

I don't think "Cleveland" would resonate with too many modern
buyers,
because the name doesn't have a long storied past like the Hemi
did.
However, in the future, I'll bet a few new Mustang owners refer to
their Hurricane's as Clevelands.

or better yet, "Cobra Jet"!

Not for the engine name itself, but perhaps for the high-output
package.

Instantly recognizable to those who also recognized the "hemi"
moniker

John,

I think Ford is finally fully in touch with what makes a Mustang a
Mustang. I think we'll see a whole slew of novelty Mustangs in the
future.

Patrick

a) The only hurricanes we'll see soon are ones like we saw last year.
Katrina and Wilma to name two.

b) The only thing Ford is in touch with is the fact that they're
sinking
right along side GM.

c) If we start seeing "novelty" Mustangs, it'll be simply because
Ford
needs to capitalize on the only decent car they make.
