"While the GT-R was a showcase for Ford’s performance parts biz, this 2005 New York show car is about 90 percent of what we will see when the Shelby goes on sale next summer, replacing the SVT Cobra. On paper, the GT500—in development for more than a year and officially approved two months ago—has enough power and flair to put Chevrolet’s base Corvette C6 smack on the trailer."

What is the 10% difference?

450hp plus 10% (45 more hp) puts it at right around 500hp - I can wish, can't I ?

Wow, the Cobra looks a lot different from the GT in the side by side shot. When looking at the Cobra by itself it didn't look like it was going to be that much of a difference.

"Final prices are not set but the last SVT Cobra cost $35,000. Ford officials say the goal is to keep this car priced less than $40,000. “You won’t be able to touch this performance for the money,” Thai-Tang says. GT500s will be built at the Ford/Mazda joint-venture plant in Flat Rock alongside Mustang and Mustang GT. Ford won’t commit to a production number, but says it will build all the 500s drivers demand."

Not a limited production car..... then there has to be another car coming
