Slowly, but, surely, the info is gonna start leaking out. It was like this just before the '05 was unveiled. First a few spy photos, then a little written info, then some real pics, then accidently released early mag articles. I'm so excited.

After doing calculations, and assuming the overall diameter was kept at 27"; 285's were closer with the 40 series tire and the 18" rim. It came to a 26.9, so yeah. Those could very well be 285's

I don't want to get into a what brake is better debate (piston vs. drilled rotors). But, this gives us an idea that Ford did things to maybe keep price down. Which is fine for me. I would rather see a Cobra in the high thirtys. If they start adding expensive features, that may push car into mid 40's. I'd have to consider a vette then at that price. I want a GT that Goes Like heck without mods(not to be confused with the shelby omni GLH) 
Oh I digress. We'll see something soon.

i very highly doubt it's getting the SAME engine from the Ford GT. That motor would be too expensive for even a Cobra.
It might be same displacement and FI but that's it...

At least the boost guage visible in these pics will quiet the ridiculous "5-liter cammer" rumours that magically seem to reappear every week or so regarding this car.
