Awesome! I went to my local Mercury dealership this weekend to check it out. It looks great but they couldn't tell me whether it would fit the SVT. Does anyone have the Merc. part number for this item? The guy there couldn't guarantee that I'd be getting the same shifter that was installed on the Cougars sitting 100ft outside his door and said that since it was a special order there would be no refunds. I noticed the lockout ring with the Cougars had a brushed aluminum look to it too. I am assuming this piece would fit as well? Overall, this is one of the best shifters I have seen in any car!
