I hope it doesn't have the letters in the rear bumper like the last ones did.

i have stated this b4 and i will state it again, i own a 96 SVT Cobra (vert) and i want the name SVT Cobra to continue, i have nothing against shelby, but the name (associated with ford) is not form my generation, i am 31, i have no problem with there beign a shelby mustang, but it should be slotted between the GT and the SVT Cobra, just as the bullitt and the mach 1 were
Long live the SVT Cobra, cant wait until march 23![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Then you can put the GT and the Cobra side by side and hear
"Ooh! There's a GT, and look beside it , AW! MAN! That's a Cobra! SWEET!"
Just some feedback.

Actually, I'm astounded @ the # of people that can't tell a difference between a v6, a Saleen, and a SVT Cobra.
One would think that its pretty trivial to easily sort out the differences just based on looks alone. If I had a nickel for every time I was asked
"Is that, a GT?"............................then I'd have a lot of nickels.

Agreed. I had a guy I work with that thought every GT was a Mach -- simply because of the fake scoop. Argh!
But, I'd be against Cobra on the bumper. Hopefully it'll be more then a badge, maybe a slightly agressive front end slant, or different moldings, etc. Guess we'll know soon enough.

I agree that there should be a Shelby Mustang as well as a SVT Cobra Mustang but how can you say that the Shelby should go here and the SVT should go there. Neither has been released to the public and, no offense but, you sound too far superior to anyone because you are a previous gen SVT owner. A statement like that shows how narrowminded you are, thinking that the SVT is @ the top of the food chain and that nothing could ever be improved upon it. Its thinking like that makes me hope there is version of the 'Stang that brings your ego down a couple of levels.

[attachmentid=11569]Just was checking out the live web cams at the Chicago Auto show and ran across this image. I see the 05 Mustang GT, Ford GT and Shelby GR1 in the shot..but it is the cover vehicle in the middle I am curious about...March was the advertised release of the SVT Mustang. This may just be the convertible under wraps.. Is anyone going to the show that can check this out?
Also, in $ speculation, would it be a good move for Ford to under cut the price of the Saleens, Rouch's of the world? Now that Shelby may introduce a Mustang version, might the SVT be a little more power and styling refinements...each version will need it's own space on the shelf.

I doubt Ford is going to overbadge or brand the Cobra, seeing that they kept it limited with the V6 and GT models. Those dont say Mustang or Ford on their exterior, so a Cobra shouldnt say Cobra on it's exterior either, especially an indentation on the rear bumper.

Thanks Slavehand.
I dunno about the yellow color and am not too crazy about the little silver lights on the grill (pillars?). I suppose the competition wont be seeing too much of anything but the rear of the car anyway. I really think the rear tail light panel on all of these '95 should be black..it looks too much like an accord or something with the very vanilla rear.
Looks like the Saleen/Ford relationship is alive and well...for me, the more Mustangs to choose from the better.
