Snippit...

Pebble Beach this year will unveil a COUPE version of the Shelby Cobra Roadster.


I'm guessing it will have the 'updates' mentioned how it went back to the shop for 'restyling'

 

Daytona coupe anyone?

What "updates"?

 

The feedback Ford got from the Shelby concept car is that it should be a little bolder like the first Cobras. So they are restyling the concept car which obviously means they are seriously planning on bringing it to production.

Very nice. I personally liked the styling, but I can see where it could get a little less "sophisticated machine" and more "athletic icon".

 

Not to mention that Romeo already said it would build the cammer V10

 

ugh.....I've never thought the coupe version/hardtop of the cobra or the daytona were anything special in the looks dept.

 

Wondering if it will be in a more production specific vein than the NAIAS 'concept style'

 

it would be so sweet for the shelby cobra to retrun to the lineup as the vette/viper fighter.

 

What's not to like?

 

One of the most beautiful cars evere made IMHO.

 

The crap you smoking?

There is no cammer v10.

427 SOHC (Cammer from about late 60's early 70's, with Hemi Heads).

427 V10 (shares nothing with Cammer cept for 427 CID)

5.0L Cammer (Essentially bored 4.6L Cobra motor, nothing like original cammer engine)

 

He is talking about the v-10 they had in the concept

 

Moving to the new Ford GT & Shelby Cobra forum.

just not diggin it. The tail IMO is butt ugly hehehe pun intended

 

Saw one of the New-build Shelby Coupes at Barret-Jackson this year. Almost messed myself. They are darn fine cars IMHO. Right up there with the GT and the 427 Roadsters. I look forward to the concept.

On the production issue: looking good! You usually don't see this much work put into something that won't see produciton (other than Indigo, maybe). I still think Ford should just ignore reality for a bit and put this in the Z06/Viper price range, but I won't be too sad if it take over the GT's slot.

Maybe he was using "cammer" as slang for an overhead cam engine...

maybe you should smoke some of his stash

The V10 would be nice.. maybe the GT's 5.4 will make it there, or even the 6.1 Hurricane motor?

He doesn't like ducktails.

 

clearly

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
actually it's this I don't like


way to flat

 

Picture the Dayton Coupe front end on the concept Cobra.
That would look cool and it will get rid of the flat rear end.
