SVT in 2005
Does anyone have a clue as to what SVT will do in 2005? I've been looking for information but I can't find any. Will there be a 2005 Mustang Cobra? Anyone have any links with info on this topic?

Umm I will try and find the link, but on like road and track Tv or some s**t the guys at SVT were talking about how they think the next SVT cobra would either use a 500 horsepower 5.0 or the same 5.4 500 horse used in the GT

I don't think SVT is going to come out with something that massive, especially right after the debut year of the 390 hp 4.6. I'm figuring they would run thatsetup for a few years, like all the previous marks in history. And anyways, doingthat would take Cobra's off the road as daily drivers, and they would be mainly weekend cars, because people would treasure them more like a million dollar car. All mustangs are made to give the average joe a chance of running with the big dogs, such as vipers and Z06's. I don't think SVT is going to throw the Cobra out of the reach of most of it's long devoted fans who wouldn't own anything but a mustang.The mustang would be competingon levels with the viper and other exotics not only in performance, but with the healthy price tag they all carry as well.Just my opinion.

The reason I'm asking is because I'm biting hard on getting an 03-04 Cobra... My local dealer has 603 Cobras onhis lot. I have some money put aside that I could possibly dip into for a healthy down payment. But if there will be an 05 Cobra maybe I should wait... It will be a few months before I actually do anything anyway so I guess I'll wait and see...</P>
Maybe someone could better answer this question:Whatwill the 05 Mustang GT engine be like?</P><edited><editID>MineralGreyGT02</editID><editDate>37894.9271643519</editDate></edited>

I totally agree with that. You won't be disappointed with the 03-04 cobra. And like you said, you won't be doing anything soon, so by the time you do decide to make a move, you will probably know all about the 2005 cobra.
