First off

forget SVT ford is pulling the plug on it. (why? i honestly don't know)

second off..

longitudinal mount 24v DOHC V-6 with variable vale timing intake/exhaust 
(3.4L or 3.5L)

or 32v DOHC VVT V-8 (3.8-4.2L)

i really would like to see yamaha make this engine and i believe 300hp + 
from the factory wouldn't be a problem...

true dual exhaust (possibly adaptation of a mustang system

AWD (similar to the ford 49 / volvo S60R)

have a 2-3 stage suspension system (similar to the S60R)

seats from the S60R (ohhhh! they're SOOO nice!)

less gadgets and gizmos (no dvd navigation standard)

no traction controll (saves weight)

a proper braking system

Price between 32-38k

Basically i forsee this car if being produced a bridge between the Fourty 
Nine AWD and the Volvo S60R

i'd like to see it but personally i HIGHLY doubt we'll ever see this car.

Doc...
