With the supercharger? -- hard to tell, because I don't know the weight due to the body changes. -- sure is nice though....have you seen the engine bay?</P>

The real concern of the 2005 Mustang is the damn price. I hope they can pull it out, but isnt it supposed to cost bout $20k base model?

I don't know if the new one is DOHC or SOHC, assuming that it is SOHC, it could not be more powerful than the 03 cobra, maybe around the low 13's, or even the mid 12's. Who knows</P>

Fordhad a press release stating theengine will be 4.6L 3V SOHC. I am unsure about the hp though. At some point there is also supposed to be a 5.4L produced but I don't know if that will be only for special editions or if it will be a new cobra engine. They also stated the price would not change much from current prices... maybe 1-2K increase. <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"></P>


They won't produce a new cobra until 2006 either. It will remain with the same body style as current. <IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P>

jugador, i would think the cost goes more into the design.... than the actual cost of the materials. got to pay those engineers.

There goes the "bang for your buck" the Mustang is known for.
