3.8sec!!!! 200mph!!!! thats nice...

 

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.

 

nice? nice? that's AMAZING! :worship:

still wish they would better the front end though

 

overpriced compared to what?

An 05 Porsche 911?

 

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.

of course the Cobra is going to kill in sales, but the corvette will kill at the track!

how much is it?

 

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.

 

Found these over at a Miata site. Pretty impressive to say the least. Hope d'em SVT boys are busy with the Cobra!

So?

 

Looks pretty tight even though I don't know if I will ever be able to afford one

 

So ... this will be one of the upcoming Cobra's biggest competitor in the market.

 

the cobra's wont have anything on the new z06

 

You forgot the MOST important spec.

price?

 

RaGs, So? Do u bleed blue? I don't care what the new 'vette does, my Mustang will be all over it once I'm finished with it, and if the nw one doesn't kill 'vettes, then one of my other ones will!!! B)
