There was news a year ago that SVT was being dismantled, and that any "enthusiast" design/production would be done by Ford Racing. The rumors were put to rest by a number of SVT employees, here at CEG and elsewhere (like SVTOA).
More than likely this rumor has rekindled because of the news of Ford's quarterly losses, which I posted about in Common Interests. In the article I posted, Ford announced that there would be significant plant closing and layoffs. Most people's logic would say that if a company is hurting financially and needs to make cutbacks, the high-cost, low-return "enthusiasts" division would be the first on the chopping block. Also, history has proven that it can and does happen (SVO). However, my opinion is that unless I hear it from Ford or an SVT employee its just a rumor.
