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?

SVT in 2005
 

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

SVT in 2005
 

who knows

SVT in 2005
 

Dang, I sure hope so! That will be nice to have that kind of power, although I doubt they will put 500 hp in the cobra from the factory.

SVT in 2005
 

vipers are doin that many factory ponies. its a good ass chance to show everyone that modulars own. a cobra that can beat dodge's twice as expensive sports car...its coming.

SVT in 2005
 

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.

SVT in 2005
 

my guess is that after launching a new body mustang in 05 they are going to give us a real treat when the cobra comes along

SVT in 2005
 

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>

im not sure anyone clearly knows Ford's intent...my suggestion: take advantage of the year end deals coming up and get a cobra. you wont be disappointed with it.

SVT in 2005
 

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.

SVT in 2005
 

your pick, id go for instant gratification though. new style aint gonna be cheap i dont think.

SVT in 2005
 

The last think that I saw on the 05 enginge was a 5.0 modular engine. As for the HP well, lets think about that for a minute. 03's &amp; 04's are 390hp so I bet the 05 will be a little over 400 maybe. I alsosaw onIbelieve it was Motor Trend TV when testing the 03 that they believe it has more then 390hp. We all remember the hp issue back in 99 so to make sure that didn't happen again they gave it a 390hp rating. I mean can anyone think of a 400+ hp car under $40,000. Like 30SVTcobraa was sayingthe cobra is a daily driver and a top of the line sports car for the average working man. You get to far over 400hp and you price of thecar will jump sky high. I can't see a stock 500hp cobra...... ever. Imean the new Ford GT has what, 500-550 hp. No wayFord is going to allow the Cobra to out do the FordGT. </P>


To MineralGreyGT02 I say go ahead and getCobra now. Why? Ok the05's will be ready by this time next year, late 2004. You are lookin atleast another10 months to a year before the Cobra comes out. If you can wait that long thenwait, but if not then do it now and go blow the doors off thoseimports<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">. I am waiting to see what kind of rebates and all they will be giving on them myself.</P>

SVT in 2005
 

i doubt that ford is really going to change alot in the engines...5.0 modular crap i sure hope so. bring back those 5-0's. the cobra might just be the same set up. because why will they change their set up alot yea the body but why anythin else. the set up they have now works. we don't want to happen what happen to the camaro and trans am. that would suck imagine a world without the original muscle cars. it would be messed up freakin imports ruling the street. i think ford should stick with there regular plans and only do major changes if things get drastic. well thats just my opinion.</P>

SVT in 2005
 

alright guys this is how it goes....... ford will be coming out with a newly designed stang late 2004 based on the 66 or 67 mustang i think they said. i heard from people and magazines that a cobra will not be released till 2005 (the 06' model)but that cobra will rival the Z06, no gimmiks.(think about it....w/ drag radials, upgraded pulley's, exhaust and intake in the 03 snake are spanking the Z06.) 5.0 are coming.......and this is how this goes</P>


02-bullit 03-mach 1 04-Boss 302!!!!!!</P>


yes car &amp; driver saidfordmight and will be releasing a Boss w/ a 302....every year ford will possibly come out w/ a special edition car.</P>


500 hp dont know about that, but i do know that to rival the vette it will have about 430 hp.... nice!!!!!!</P>


as for as imports i only respect Supras and Rx-7's even though without alot of money they are pieces of crap as for imports running the street no way buddy not as long as there are people like me. Imports are made for muscle car drivers to practice for a real race against other muscle cars given them a good spankin or playing w/ them). Ford in my opinion rules the market right now so drastic stuff is not going to happen making more cars and money... now that will happen</P>


if anyone has any questions post them and i'll get back to you asap.</P>

1. it's spelled bullitt.</P>


2. it was made in 01.</P>

SVT in 2005
 

</P>


yea but its a 02 model thank you</P>

SVT in 2005
 

you're not welcome cause i dont see how its an 02 model

SVT in 2005
 

any proof or do you admit defeat? bullitts are 01's bud.

SVT in 2005
 

Yeah i really hope they come out with a nice and affordable 2005 SVT Cobra. As much as i like the stang, i hate it when i see everyone and their mom in either a v6 or GT. Every 1 out of 10 cars is a mustang here in san antonio, texas. And i know when the new "05 comes out, everyone will have one. I like to be different. And i will go the extra mile to get an '05 Cobra. But as of right now, im set on getting an '03 Cobra first!!</P>

SVT in 2005
 

i heard the new cobra motor is supposed to be similar to ford austrailia's falcon. its a modular 4v 5.4 engine i believe. and the new gt shouldnt be bad either becasue its rumored to have a 3v 4.6 wit 300hp. the mustang for sure is on its way to the top. with the camaro and trans ams outta the way, ford and svt can look at a higher plateu. there is also a rumor that ford is going to make aftermarket parts a lot more expensive and unattainable to the average consumer. anyone know?

SVT in 2005
 

ive also heard that SVT will come out wiht a 500 horsepower lightning in 2005

SVT in 2005
 

Alot of rumors out for every 2005 model ford. We all really dont know what to expect yet. It would be awesome to have a 500hp lightning. But i doubt ford will outdue their gt40. If anything the gt40 should have the most hp out of any ford. And do ya'll think 300hp is enough for a 2005 GT? The new mach 1's have 300 and have been known to hit mid to high 13's stock. Lets just hope the 2005 aint heavier then the current mach 1's. I cant wait for the '05s to come out. It seems every company especially imports and euros have been coming out with all these new advancements and domestics are kinda falling behind. I just hope the 05's will be what everyone cuts em out to be.</P>

SVT in 2005
 

i definately agree wit you chrisle7220. domestics are falling behind but the only company trying to catch up is ford. thats y ford is so awesome. a new variablevalvetiming is in the works for fords and maybe introduced to the new cobras coming up. with variable valve timing the horsepower output will be incredible. if ford can match honda's i-vetec or toyotas vvtL-i which are by the way making 100hp per litre we would have a 5.0 that makes 500hp, hopefully. in an article i read, ford was going to buy out general motors in the begininng of this year due to the decline of its sports compact and sports cars. but gm stepped up the marketing on its great line of suvs. soon, i believe, ford will be on the top and have unlimited potential. all i gotta say is, "bring on the falcon!" lets see what they have up their sleves.

SVT in 2005
 

I read somewhere that the 2004 GT is estimated around 300 hp and the cobra will have about 400hp. I also heard some rumors that a Mach 1 is suppose to be produced and estimated at about 320 hp.

Jenevieve, i say you get back to English class and get your grammer right. All im trying to say is that i want to buy a car thats rare, where as mustangs arent rare.I want to be one of the few that owns it. I know damn well that when the '05 stangs come out, everyone will have one, both GT and v6. Thats why i plan on getting an '03 cobra. Thats all im trying to say.

i heard through the grapevine that svt isnt doing anything with mustangs again until 2006...and that they are focusing on the lightnings for the time being....anyone else heard this?...jenna

<FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=blue size=4><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>Okay, well the Mustang is going to be here in 2005. Back at a Mustang Car Show my brother and I hosted in Roanoke, Va last May, we had the 05 Concept Convertible out there with us. It's a beatiful car. They're taking out the backseats so it will just be a 2 seater, which is different. Some people may like it, some may not.</FONT> <FONT size=2>We also had the Concept Fastback out there and it's gorgous! You guys will not believe what you're seeing once you see the 2005 Mustang. It's awesome! <IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0"></FONT></FONT></P>

SVT in 2005
 

only the concepts are 2 seater. the first conceptmustang was a 2 seater too.</P>

SVT in 2005
 

Did everyone forget the Pontiac GTO? 350hp 6 speed tranny....plenty of competition for Ford.

SVT in 2005
 

I don't believe anyone has forgotten about the new GTO. I mean with the Z28 & Trans-AM gone it is good to have another American muscle car out there to put the imports in the place; in our rear view mirror.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"> As for it being competition for Ford, I don't see that one car be much comp. It can't touch the Cobra and all the of the other model mustangs aren't too far behind when it comes to power. I think it will sell ok mostly because of the "GTO" name. Yes it has 350hp, but it looks like a Grand Pix to me. It may be more cometition in about a year when the aftermarket comes out with some goodies for it. First and foremost being dual exhaust. I hate that it doesn't have dual exhaust. It will be nice to see what happens when they put it head to head with the 04 Cobra next year in Motor Trend, Car & Driver and all the other car mags out there.

SVT in 2005
 

it was never a question of if there was going to be a 2005 mustang duh everyone knows there is going to be one the question was what is "SVT" gonna do...as far as i know they arent doing anything with the mustang until 2006...jenna

SVT in 2005
 

SVT is going to be here in 2005 but, they are moderizing what it will look like in 2006. Can't ever go without the SVT to bad they dont have the SVO any more, my cousin has the SVO Cobra and it's way sexier than my sister in laws SVT Cobra</P>

SVT in 2005
 

i beleivesvt was formed out of svo! Also, guys, I think the only Mustang that reaches the 500hp plateau in the new model is would be done by saleenone that is allready there, the saleen S-281E (550hp) ID LIKE TO SEE THERE NEW MUSTANG.</P>


Finally you guys need to go to www.carforums.com there's a couple of dudes there bashing the cobra and the gt40. I AM NAMED AFTER MY CAR 04COBRASVTBW. also another guy said the saleen S7 is NOT a super car! grrrrrrrrrr</P>


</P>

</P>


have you read this somewhere or do you think thats what is going to happen? i read that after the 04, they weren't going to make another COBRA till 06. i may have read it wrong, please feel free to correct me if i am wrong</P>

SVT in 2005
 

thats funny....bashing cobras and gt40s....lol...hello the cobra came from the gt40...lol...that was the defining feature in the cobra "40 more horsepower than the GT"...lol...sorry s**t like that cracks me up....lol
