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...
