oooo those pictures are nice. I dont know much about the engine on these things but are they using an eaton twin screw?
They were penciled in to use a twin screw blower, but fairly recently Ford decided to with a roots unit. It's really too bad, because it will change the whole powerband in the car for the worse. IMO, it's just a way for Ford to keep their costs down. Shame on Ford for going roots. At one time, I considered getting one; if I had $ down on one, I would have changed my mind after hearing about the roots switch. The piece of **** roots blower ford will be using isn't worthy of being on a car like this. Once again, shame on Ford.[:'(]

I keep hearing the same info. Sold in 2006 as a 2007. But 515HP? I'm seeing 465-475 in the mags. Ford has said their price will be about 39K. However, the dealers can add their mark up. In my area, they are marking up V6 stangs by 3K. The old Cobras were typically marked up almost everywhere 5K. I expect no less than 5K as a mark up, but I can see how it could go to 10K quite easily.

You know, no matter how nice it is, its a frigin' car, ekim. All this additional hype is going to drive the price higher at the dealerships. You are doing exactly what they want you to do. Gee, has anyone really thought about how much the insurance on this bastard is going to cost? Hell, most won't even want to drive it for fear of a scratch or dent.

I say no thanks. For the same money, you can buy and mod a car to do the same thing. Probably spend less $ doing it, and no one would suspect what lurked under the hood.

Yeah, it is a nice looking car, but it's still a car.
