wow thats friggin awesome, is it really going to be 500 hp or are they just saying it, what parts did they change?

Ford FTW

csledd 05-02-2006 08:34 PM

not exactly sure.. probably through tuning and tweaking. you have to think, its engine is pretty similar to the Ford GT that puts out 500 hp and 550 tq

3V2000GT 05-02-2006 08:37 PM

yeah 500hp and 480 trq.....I cant wait to see videos of these cars, i wonder how much they will go for, i want one

csledd 05-02-2006 08:43 PM

they'll go for 100k im sure.. ford says they've already sold the first and half the second year of production

Badfish 05-02-2006 08:44 PM

there's a problem with the crank shaft housing or somethign, and production might be delayed...

and damn..I want one :(

3V2000GT 05-02-2006 08:48 PM

anyone know if there is going to be just a regualr 2007 cobra? not shelby or what about 2008?

csledd 05-02-2006 09:05 PM

nope.. the cobra name is being dropped for now, but im sure it'll return

Icefreezen 05-02-2006 09:10 PM

Grimmz 05-02-2006 10:10 PM

which vette are you talkin about?? With aggressive gearing, it could compete with the new z06. pulley swap and itd smoke it.

9 psi....PALEASE! http://www.mcmmotorsports.com/smilies/faint.gif Pulley down and go for 12 or 15 PSI even. Then watch EVER FRIGGIN CAR ON THE ROAD DO THIS:

I would love to have one too, but this car is soooo unattainable it is rediculous.

Fat Lard 05-03-2006 09:34 AM

Wouldn't mind having one. Still don't like the body style of the new stangs. But the Cobra is cool, mostly knowing it has a 500 hp 330 ci engine in it seals the deal.

MattJ 05-03-2006 10:41 AM

read csledds above post and it will make perfect sense.

krod 05-03-2006 12:57 PM

100k
 
Well, i hope they're not selling for 100k, I am on a waiting list on the military program and they are telling me around 40k, and i got a good chance of getting a slot. So, if anybody knows somebody who wants to pay 100k, i'll gladly give them mine and get a Z06 :pepper:

4.6 Love 05-03-2006 01:03 PM

Lets just hope ford stays true to its word. We don't need another 99 cobra fiasco!

GREG@94GT 05-03-2006 01:10 PM

White04GT 05-03-2006 01:42 PM

That's why it won't be able to compete with the new z06 vette in stock form. Ford needs to figure out a way to do some weight reduction cause it's getting out of hand....but I guess the "big" muscle car era is trying to make a comeback.
