Thank you Sharp for being civil. I tried to encourage that a long time ago and finally gave up. The way I see it, if you don't like the repeated questions, don't read the thread.

I agree with that. I must say, though, that the only thing that bugs me is misleading titles.

This one was quite appropriate, as it was in question form. However, the ones that start off with titles such as "New Cobra News" are pretty annoying once it turns out to be somebody just looking for information. That bursts my bubble. :notnice:

conv_stang

yeah, i wish ford would give us something.............anything. i mean even "New Larger Cup Holder Design" would be something but atleast we get the occasional pics of 05 and vids and throw in the screwed up stangs. atleast we have something to talk about. could be like the camaro and firebird sites. all they have is look at my drawing of the 2010+ camaro

Dr Iven

I'd like to see some pics of the carpeting beneath the front seats. That would make my desktop.

Did that "Power Lease" document actually say it would be a 2007 MY SVT Mustang (Cobra), or did it just say "The next generation SVT Mustang)?

Grantsdale

It actually said MY2007 Cobra.

G8trStang

Again, .........the car will be so fast it'll be ridiculous. Ford is aiming to nail the M3. that should be enough said.

the 2007 MY Cobra (Project condor), will have the IRS suspanesion (as the 2005 MY Mustang was suppose to have, until the cost of the IRS vs. the SRA came into effect).

As far as supercharger, Ford is still evaulating the room availble under the Hood.

About 99.99% sure it will have a blower...

mr-mstng

After the 03/04 Cobra, it seems like that would almost be a sure bet. The blower seems like it may become standard fare on the Cobra.

when this was origanally posted no one posted and a month later every ones talkin

Some guys over at camaroz28.com with definite connections say the '07 Cobra will not be supercharged. Apparently the SC 5.4 requires too tall of a hood to work. It's going to be an NA 5.4 around 450hp. :notnice:

you believe camaro drivers on this topic?

The one named GuionM has definite insider connections. He did a well researched article in Popular Hotrodding on the facts behind the Camaro cancellation. And time after time he is proven correct on his info.

So yeah when he confirms something it's usually true.

The only thing I would argue is there's no way they'll get 450hp out the 5.4 NA.

Too bad huh?

GuionM knows his stuff and definately has connections. It does not mean he's going to be right 100% of the time, but I'd definately put weight on his words. He's a good guy as well and his posts are educated and unbiased.

GuionM, I know you read this board from time to time.....join up already B)

I've posted this before, but since this topic has come up again, it's worth repeating.

When Dustin4 & I were at the 05 Stang showing in Foxboro, MA, we spoke extensively with the body and structure engineering manager for the '05 Stang. Of course we asked about the next SVT (Cobra).

He said that the original plan was for a 4.6L based, N/A engine that would have over 400HP. He said that they were unable to make 400 HP H/A and have it meet all requirements (emissions, durability, cost, etc.) - Sounds to me like the 5.0 Cammer was originally developed for the next SVT Cobra.

We asked for more info. on the next SVT Cobra, motor, but didn't get any other info. other than the same inference, that >400 HP and normally aspirated was the target. Read into it what you will, but it sounds to me like it will take more than 4.6L (or even 5.0L) to make the >400 HP N/A target.

In any case based on what this Ford person told us, the story on camaroZ28.com could be credible.

The only thing I don't understand is, what's wrong with 450 HP / N/A?
It sounds great to me.

450 hp N/A will add to the cost of a car a supercharger is alot cheaper then designing and fine tuning a car

RaGsHoCkEy88

u gotta be careful because they will charge u an arm and a leg for a car wit 450hp

Grantsdale

Wow. Great Post. :bang:

montreal ponies

That's what i think too, it will be in the form of naturally aspirated horsepower.....which i think is better anyways....just my .02
