5MPH Bumpers on the front?

Any truth to that, if Ford doesn't change that we won't be seeing the Cobra GT500 in Canada.

Can't see that happening. Just thought I'd ask.

I thought that by '00, the laws required 7 mph bumpers in the states.... I'd call BS on that

Sorry I musn't have been clear ... In Canada you need 30 .. or is it 50Km/h, 18.75 or 31.25mi per hour rated bumpers respectively. If it is true that the Cobra is getting 5mi/hr then it wouldn't meets standards for Canada.

He also said, "they won't change it .. all 1500 units are sold"

Again, I smell A LOT of BS.

I believe that is correct. At least, that's what the guy from NHTSA said on national TV
