I was sure I was going to be completely happy with my 05 GT.....
I was sure I wouldn't need to worry about spending more than what I paid for it on a car in the next few years...
I was sure that the Cobra would be cool and that I wouldn't feel a burning desire to have one for myself......
I
WAS
WRONG..........
I do think tomorrow I will have a cardiac infraction when we get our first real shots of it and I try and bend space and time (and money) to try and get one...
:bang:

I wonder how the GTO, LS1 and Corvette forums are taking this news. heh.
Actually I'm sure alot of them are excited too. Alot of us get excited over some of their cars too. eg: Z06
It's a good time to be a Muscle Car Nut. Especially if your a Mustang FAN!!

Pulled this off of all places Corvetteforum.com. Take it for what it is worth .... For some reason the posters links were taken down .... Hmmmmm
Details:
- 465HP, 6-speed manual running in the low 12's with a trap speed of 120mph!
- You choose the rear suspension set up, either IRS or Solid Rear Axle with the IRS apparently pulling over 1.0g in the corners...
- The Price... in and around 30k.
Motor: 5.4 Supercharged, 3 valve heads (with HUGE valves), forged internals similar to the 4.6 (Crank, rods, etc), modestly rated (under rated actually) ~465 HP/495 lb ft Torque, using a twin screw S/C similar to that on the Ford GT but pullied differently, hence the lower HP. This motor was supposedly made official (in house only) just in the last few days.
Transmissions: 6 speed manuals standard with a heavy duty 5 speed auto (the tranny used on the Ford Superduty but programmed/geared differently) as an option in late '07 or the '08 M/Y.
Suspensions: A re-engineered, heavy duty IRS will be an option with a modified 3 link/panhard bar-live axle setup as the standard rear axle. SVT will be going for the Road Race buyer as well as the straight line racer with both axles optional. However, the Axle options are not set in stone as of the moment but look highly likely to be approved. The Cobra will be lowered about 1.5" from a stock GT.
Bodywork: The retro theme will continue with a serious nod to the '67 Shelby. The fenders may be flared more than the standard '05 but that is not for certain as of now. The ducktail will be factory installed. Also, no convertible is planned for now but no reason was given other than concerns over chassis reliability due to the torque volume.

Yeah i read that before also. No way is that price correct. Im thinking $39K possible but not $30K. But if you read on into that forum you got some people excited about it and some idiots who dont know squat of what they are talking about calling all Mustangs and Cobras "POS". hmmm :angry:
Oh well there loss!

Yeah, It probably will be a $64,000 answer. Sounds fair to me.
