Has anyone gotten any new word on the plaques that SVT was considering for us Maruader owners? They took all my info last year, and I've heard nothing since. :depress:

Did they maybe "give-up" on us?

Probably did because the MM was never SVT.

Wait...no...I realize that, but I thought the plaques were being done through SVT?

I have VERY little hope of this actually happening.

First, the SVT division was disbanded a few years ago...second, with all the financial problems plaguing Ford (and every other car manufacturer) I doubt they give a rat's heiny about this anymore.

Third, this has been going on for so long that I feel if they had any intention of doing it in the first place, they would have done so by now.

If SVT was disbanded, then why does the new Ford F-150 Raptor wear SVT badges????

I thought that our engines were hand assembled by SVT.

The GT 500 rocks them to.

SVT did not hand assemble our motors.

They put the superchargers on ..... didn't they?
My engine was designed built and assembled by Lawrence Kiyoshi Shinoda... yeah..... that's the ticket.

I meant "our Marauder motors", 03/04 cobra owners do have blowers installed by the SVT.

I was trying to point out how many people out there think that the MM's were factory s/c cars.......

I failed......

How does one apply for the certificate?

By waiting 1+ year for Ford to offer it.

I don't want to be a scrooge but I think our best chance at getting them is if the big guy with the red velvet suit brings them down the chimney. Ho Ho Ho.:santaw: I wonder if I can still get one for my Lightning?

O's fan, no fail, I cracked up at your post :) I got your drift first time around but couldn't resist responding.

P71, Call SVT for an update on the certs. 1-800-367-3788 is the number in my cell phone from when I owned a few of those hand assembled motors.

Even though SVT was "dismantled," in a way it wasn't. They still had/have a few engineers kicking around that helped develope the Raptor and GT500, hence why it wears SVT badges.

Whoever does call first, please post the results on here. Maybe if we all start calling, they'll get the idea! :rolleyes:

They know about us. They just want to get it perfect, unlike our Marauders - great cars but certainly not perfect ;)
