Looking at the all the new Cobra speculation and unfortunately the price I would sure like to see Ford come out with an engine upgrade for the GT to keep the price reasonable. I'm thinking just make the old SVT 390hp engine a $4000 option. It would fit my needs perfectly, it can be called a GT-s (supercharged). I'm assuming the Cobra will have IRS for the road racers but for us drag racers we just need the engine!

How about the 'non racers' that want the IRS standard regardless

Maybe the Cobra and another SE will have IRS, it's not that far fetched considering how many we may see, and they are trying to get this mustang to appeal to a large crowd.

Sounds like we need another poll, what would you rather have an engine upgrade option or an IRS option assuming you can't have both.

I'd take the engine over the IRS.

I would take a "handling suspension" package with an IRS, better shocks, 18"s (or maybe 19"s ) over the big engine upgrade. The way I look at it, 300Hp is more than enough for a daily driver... I would love to have fun in the twisties as much as I could

I wouldlpick a larger engine. Say a 5.4 as we all know the next cobra will have IRS. Not long till someone copies it and makes a bolt on out of it.
