Welcome to the new forum everyone. I hope that this one fills up with Cobra news over the next year starting in 8 days at NY Auto Show.

I talked to one of my sources at Ford today, and he said that a lot of the info leaked is right (I assume that's the name and the engine), but he also said there'll be a suprise no one's expecting!

Oh no!!..it's going to have a turbocharged six cylinder

On a more serious note, what's the deal with the name and engine? Does this mean that it will be a Shelby/SVT joint project for sure?

7 more days... :bang:

That was a joke right?

I wish the auto show would hurry up and get here the suspense is killing me!

Ya know, based on that I'm gonna have to wait for an 06 gt and by the time the SVT is being built, my (hopefully) new job will more than cover the expense it would cost to buy a cobra. I'll have to wait and more about it though

that sure helps make the wait easier.

I hope if the surprise is SMG, it'll be optional.

I was fine and dandy until I read this, now my heart is fluttering around like a butterfly. What could it be? Thanks a lot Brad.

Shelby is definitely involved. I am 100% absolutely certain of this.

This is starting to stir the kind of excitement I felt when we were hanging on every word written on this site while waiting for the production '05 to be released. Those 7 days can't come fast enough.

Shelby is involved?!..... I don't know what to think of that. :scratch:

Something tells me if he's involved, the car will be upwards of $50k.

Ahhh the wait, thanks a lot Brad

Maybe that will be the surprise! A kick hiney Cobra for $43,0000. That's my guess and I'm sticking to it!

You mean that it will:
1) have a N/A 5.4 AND a S/C 5.4? A 3V AND a 4V? And a Solid AND Indy rear axle? .....and will be called the Shelby Cobra Mustang GT 500 by SVT? COOOOOL!!!

Okay, okay....I was just kidding
But it can't come soon enough. I am about to implode!

Brad, that would be a good emoticon, a smilie with it's head imploding. I think that everyone here feels that way!

What is everyone not expecting? I think peeps have pretty much speculated on everything. Maybe an amalgam of all the specials? Say one with a Shelby Cobra engine, Mach1 shaker, and the Boss stripe package.
