I could be wrong but I've yet to see this picture and if it's inline with the article you can see the ducktail clearly. I'll let you be the judge!
I'm so excited I can't wait for Friday!


edit: I tried getting a closer scan.

That's awesome! The article is reprinted online here with a color version of that photo, but it is so small you can't see any detail. Thanks for posting up that scan!

WOW! So then is this actually the COBRA? From what I can see the ducktail is HOTT!

That looks like a regular spoiler to me. I see some seperation between it and the rear quarter panel.

Regular in the sense that it's what's on the the GT & V6's now? You don't think it's a ducktail? I don't agree but you could be right. Wishful thinking here though!

Especially with that zoomed up image now. Its more spoiler than ducktail to me.

I was hoping the Cobra had nicer, smaller , painted, swing away mirrors like the
'03 and '04 models vs. GT. But it dosen't look like it.

I think he means that the ducktail is "tacked" on instead of being integrated into the rear decklid. I assume it would have cost too much to fully integrate it. But I assume this thing wont be cheap.. So they could have changed the mirrors at least.

and if you look at the hood, behind the dude's arm, there's a vent in the hood like on the '68 GT500

It looks, in around about way, like Roush's spoiler w/o the huge gap in the middle. Oh, the article DOES say ducktail.

You can also see the two-tone, color-matched seats (black with red inserts).

Dressed up with a big grille, vented hood, ducktail rear spoiler and classic dual racing stripes, the car will resemble the old Shelbys of the late 1960s, said project leader Hau Thai-Tang, director of Ford's Special Vehicle Team.



I think this pretty much sums it up as far as the "is it a ducktail or not" discussion.


It is.
