Absolutely correct. Sorry, I forgot the new name.

Again, absolutely correct, but remember as recently as August 2004 Jaguar Racing was only being "restructured". We are talking about corporate America here, nothing is certain.
Originally posted by WorldTour: Coletti retired after achieving a life long goal, affording him to be able to step away while it career was at a high point.
He retired a year earlier than originally planned. He said he was going to stay on and train his replacement, then one month later he abruptly retired.
Originally posted by WorldTour: SVT Lightning is not cancelled, it is postponed.
"Postponed" projects still have a budget. So let me ask, do you know if there is a budget for the up-coming Lighting? Rumor is there isn't one.
Originally posted by WorldTour: SVT Cobra is still on track for an '06 release, no pre-Christmas temporary hold like you mention.
I never said it wasn't on schedule, but acording to the person I talked to during SEMA it had been put on a "temporary engineering hold" when the independant rear suspension was cancelled from the project.
