There will be no 05 special edition, unless Ford wants to waste money. They spent so much money on the redesign of the base models there is no way, especially with all the hype, that they would bother putting out additional special models to compete with the GT and V6. I'm sure they have things in the works and since car design is a multiple year process, a BOSS/MACH1 was already planned out and set for a specific year to keep the hype of the new design going. You don't show all your cards at once. If the Cobra comes out in 06 it will keep the spot light on Ford. Due to that i bet at the earliest 07 will be the first special edition. The 99 was the previous gen redesign. The Bullitt wasn't produced till 2001. Car companies usually keep schedules to keep attention and keep sales going. If you offer a Cobra, people will go to see it and if they can't afford it, might look at the other cars Ford has to offer. Competition amoung your own cars is poor business, but drawing in the masses with special models every so often will keep them coming to the show rooms.
