Well, that would be way keuwl, MC!!

If I got Raptor, Jan and I would head out on a tour of the national parks ...with a few extra weeks playtime in some of our favorite backcountry in the desert SW :biggrin:

...wonder if $1.54 was the right time to buy Ford stock :doh2: ;-)

Maybe Ford will offer a free calibration upgrade for the current SHO when the '12 comes out -- like they just did for the 6.7TT diesel (+65HP free recal anytime over the next year) :weg:

When/if they announce a tweaked '12 SHO, if you remind me I can probably get you the program's contact person and you can check with them. ;-)

Well I thought he was trying to hint around towards it a few days ago when he mentioned it. At the car show this weekend while talking to JLT's second in command, the wifey, I mentioned hubby may be hinting towards a trade in when the 2012's come out. Man, was I set straighter then a nail. After his fast and put down type comment you can bet your butt there won't :no: be a 2012 in my driveway. :tease2: Although he did add that he could mod the present one to have just as much HP. :boink: NOT :no: happening in my lifetime!!!
