They have a short blurb on the upcoming Mustang Cobra with an artist rendition and an article about the Mercury cougar they think Ford should build with another rendition. If somebody would like to host these I can scan them in and email them to you.

I sent them to grantsdale so they should soon be available

I also sent them to brad so we will see who is first?

just to wet your tongues basically the cougar stuff was just Hot Rod's wish nothing concrete from ford. Mustang based, 300hp v-8 standard with a 370 ish HP 5.0 optional, IRS, more luxurious and a longer wheel base for more room.

on the cobra, they were on a tour of the svt facilities and noticed a camouflaged 05 mustang GT with a modified GT engine. They did see a T56 6 speed being fitted to the car

As for the GT engine they said it has been making 565 hp at the 6400 rpm redline and still climbing and preproduction GT's have been making 530hp at the wheels

Not Mustang Gt engine. The GT(40) engine... Yes I know, it's confusing....

Isn't the T-56 the current Cobra's 6 spd manual? I would like to see a 6 spd manual, but, a little smoother one.

The cobra emblem on the front fender is backwards.

Interesting. I like the round fog light in the headlight bezel, instead of the spoiler. Hood is . And the spoiler is lokking good.

Cougar is nice as well. I see a little of BM's cougar in their design.

That car would save mercury and give it a much needed image.

They should build a 4-door sports sedan off of the same platform as a 3-series/G35 fighter.

Agreed, a performance coupe/sedan would be a BMW fighter, and would draw younger buyers.

Are you listening Ford?????
