  Why would they do that? Didn't they just re-design the X-tream lid? Now
they will have nothing to put it on? There are plenty of musclecars and
such out there that use the open element style; I wonder why they would turn
their back on this market? Especially since they already have the tooling???

  Anyone have any additional info? This is the sort of thing I would
usually dismiss as a hoax, but not when it comes from such reliable
sources.
