that view from the top rear looks amazing... they should keep it and change the fugly front end. scoops dont go with the vette

If it really weighs 2900 then too much for me!
We are talking mid 60s at least.

Ford should let the Shelby GR-1 compete with the C6 Z06 and not the 07 Mustang SVT Cobra.

Gees what a surprise an over priced gaudy vehicle coming from GM as Chevy's Halo car. Such a shame.

CRAP, performance or not, its C-R-A-P, worthless pile of plastic bow-tie poo, top speed of 200? HAH! yah, sure, right, whatever, 199 maybe

the Next Cobra will kill in Sales

and, as for the Race, gentleman, we still have the Cobra R to look foward to

Looks like GM isn't too happy about the photos finding their way to the net.

You know they sell a lot more Corvettes each year than Ford sells Cobras right? The new Cobra probably won't touch this car. BTW, who said Ford was releasing another Cobra R?

at some point, some dude from ford said the mustang models would range as high as $60K for some R-like model. Its posted on the forums somewhere, but sometime back in the spring or something.

If this thing goes for $60K, its more the Ford GT's supremacy i'm worried about. For less than half the price (even less if you consider the fact that nobody's ever gonna pay sticker for a GT) you get about 9/10s the car. Well 9/10s in terms of performance anyways, maybe like 1/4 in terms of looks and soul. Either way, Ford's really gonna need that GR-1 with like 600hp for $90K or something.

Stop denying it, this vette is sweet, especially the Z-06. If it were a ford, you'd love it.
