Cobra Owner At 19

During one of my breaks at work (super market) i picked up a car mag (not sure which one) last month and low and behold the new cobra was in it. And all the goodies it will have, no IRS a 5.4 liter v-8 cranking out 550 Hp and much much more.......MUCH MORE....................................

Now for news that could be earth shattering to some, but old to many most likely. SVT will not be making this years cobra nor will john coletti have any part in this mustang, this time fords giving it back to the man who started it all, carrol shellby! with the 11 second mark as the 1/4 mile time, this could be the fastes production mustang.

Haha, it's not the new Cobra....it's the Shelby Cobra. Hello $100k+.

the 2007 SHELBY mustang cobra 5.4 liter supercharged v-8 probally AND beacuse it has no irs they saved 50 million dollars in production and should go for 60-70 grand, as for the 100K the only time youll be seeingf that is when you look at your firebirds mileage......j/k (******* by nature sorry) or the price for a lingenfelter corvette to try and beat one (sorry again)

Ah, sarcasm....at least I'd hope you don't actually believe that.

Oh ya, congrats on the '94 Cobra. Those were sure impressive.

If that car has a 550hp motor, runs 11's in the 1/4, and is still under $100k, I'll kiss your ***.

from what i've heard it will have either a 500 or 550 hp rating. i know it sounds hard to believe a 550 hp number. realistically i can see them rating it somewhere like '465-485' underrated hp. but dude i think we can both agree the next cobra will be under 100k and hit low 12's and high 11's

Ford GT = 550hp, runs 11's, can turn, cost $150k

Cobra = 550hp, runs 11's, can't turn, cost $40k

Something just doesn't add up. Everything I've read said the Cobra will the be the same motor it currently has, just bumped up hp numbers. Which would be like rating it at the actual number of today's Terminators.

Everything you read? arent you a gm guy? and if ANYBODYs getting there *** kissed its mine. I made this post, if you wanna cut some sort of deal im down. But you should know it will be under 100K and will have a 5.4 liter v8 supercharged and should pull a low 11's. My *** is kinda pimply and scared up from poppin em so pucker up!

Hey man, he might be a GM guy, but he knows a hell of a lot about cars, even Fords. He's been on this board a long time and he KNOWS what he's talking about.

I honestly see them putting that car WAY up there in price if it's pulling down numbers that come close to the GT. Especially if Shelby throws their name on it. I saw a GT500 concept a while back that started at like $150k or more. Don't remember the website, but I'll try and look it up.

Anything Shelby is going to come with a HEAVY price tag... if you knew anything about mustangs, which you seem to think you do, you should know that.

I'm not taking sides here, because it's not my argument, but you should watch what you say to some of the veteran members-- you won't be one of the noobs that people wanna get to know. [&:]
