Brad,

Please don't start the rumors about the retractable hard top. The thoughts of a 2007 GT500 KR Convertible makes me lose sleep at night.

I'd be happy if Ford only made two. One for Bill Ford, and one for me...

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


Sigh. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this.

Oh well.

I think I can live with it.

Oh no!!..it's going to have a turbocharged six cylinder
That was a joke right?

I wish the auto show would hurry up and get here the suspense is killing me!
Yea, it was a joke

I just hope this thing is 45k or less....I can just see it now.. "Surprise!...you can own your very own 2007 Shelby SVT GT500 KR Cobra Mustang 5.4 Triton convertible for only 3 easy payments of 25k and your first born child"

Can't wait.

I saw another one coming out of the proving grounds this afternoon. Torch red one.

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!

Everyone hates someone who says "I told you so," but I can almost taste those cold beers now.

Somehow, I think this car is going to be affordable, because I think there may be two variations - one priced around that of the last Cobra (with similar performance), and one priced upmarket for the elite crowd and offering 500+ horses.

Again, for want of a better name, call them GT350 and GT500 Shelbys by SVT. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that the surprise is that Ford will roll out two twin cars at the NYIAS.

I can't see Ford, SVT, or Shelby dropping the Cobra name-sake. It's got too much "attention getter" to it. I'm sure they'll find someway to get it in there.

You young folks kill me. The Shelby's WERE Cobras - where do you think the whole Cobra thing came from in the first place? Take a good look at the badge on a '67 or '68 Shelby GT500 and guess what? You'll see a Cobra snake.

That's why this whole thing works perfectly.

I know, I'm in agreement w/ you. I was just commenting on the statement you made about being called GT 350 and GT 500.

You are partially right. SVT's Cobra nameplate has also been associated to Ford's Cobra Jet and its thirst for performance.

Shelby seems to get all the credit but there was a great deal of support from Ford and its personnel.

My point was that whole Cobra moniker first originated with Shelby.
