Ugh, I'm still not feeling it. It's going to be quite difficult, from what I see, for these aftermarket "tuner" companies to improve on Ford's clean, classy design.

 

Yup, still ugly.

 

gotta wonder if SVT can improve on it. I definitely don't like any of the hood scoops i have seen.

 

Maybe it doesn't have a grill in it? The blue one could be unfinished and the grill hasn't been re-installed yet. The others have grills with fogs and the pony so I can't understand why the blue one would be different other than the reason I stated above.

 

The GTR looked great. Tone it down and make it for the street, slap on a good ducktail and you have yourself a Cobra that is distinct and better looking than the GT IMHO.

I have faith. It is just the aftermarket people don't seem to have a good pulse on the style of new car. Everything they do is trying to make it modern and flashy. Yet, nothing seems to work with the "bones" of the car.

Only time will tell, but I have faith in SVT.

 

The lower front bumper is horrible. I like the back ened but the front looks too fat.

 

Agreed. The new cobra will be B.A. but, I'm still going w/ a Saleen.

I did see 2 new Roush Stage 1's @ a dealership near work. I'm going by today to snap some pics. One of them is Torch Redand the other one is Sonic Blue. I'll try to have them up tomorrow.

I'd be interested in your "live, in person" opinion of the Roush. We have said all along, the pics didn't do justice to the '05 GT. You have to think the Roush looks better in person than in pics.

 

I've already taken a pretty good look @ them and all I can say is.....
"eh"
IMO the sn-95 Roush's were more appealing. Plus the salesman @ this dealership (name not given to protect the CROOKED) is F.O.S. He tried to get me to buy, I told him I was waiting to see what SVT does. He told me that I would be waiting for a while. I told him that was fine, I don't have anything but time to kill. He then started saying that the Roush was going to smoke the SVT, Saleen, whatever. I told him simply that was B.S. and all Roush is claiming is over 400hp on the Stage 3. That is with a 4.6 s/c engine. The 04 cobra is 390hp in a 4.6 s/c. How can you say that the Roush will "smoke them?" The new cobra hasn't been revealed, nobody knows what the engine is going to be, just rumors......but anyways, yeah I'll try to get them posted tomorrow w/ more info.

 

I'm confident that the new SVT Cobra will borrow styling cues from the GT-R concept, which is awesome, IMO. Other than the hood scoop (which doesn't look bad), the GT-R concept was devoid of uneccesary, tacked-on scoops.

 

Stripes are too narrow and did anyone else noticed that there are no quarter window louvers on those cars :scratch:
Looks like they are no longer part of the insane $8,000.00 package.

 

I'm not sure about the Sonic Blue one but I do know that the Torch Red does have louvers on it.

 

I'm not sure if I can upload the pictures tomorrow, I may have to e-mail them 2 someone and let them upload the pics.

 

I think they should have tacked on a few more scoops and non funtional stuff to rice it up a little more. Glad a lotta thought went into this hunk of crap. I expected much better.

 

I've got the pics but, I'm having trouble trying to upload them :notnice:

 

I'm inpressed with there facility. Very nice shop.

 

I saw one in person yesterday. I thought I wouldn't like it, but I loved it in person.

 

hmmm for some reason i think the roush looks good now must be the stripes

 

The ones without the foglights are V6 sport?

 

The white w/ the blue stripes is nice, but the way the louvers are riveted on cheapens the appearance.
