As reported in this month's MT...
The 2007 Shelby Mustang Cobra...supercharged, 550hp, aluminum 5.4, live axle, slightly heavier than the '05 GT, sub-4.0 0-60 and 1/4 mile ET's in the low-12's/high-11's.

i wasn't talking about the gt
i'm talking about the shelby gr-1 that is most likely to replace the gt since it's underpinnings are the same, no?
someone correct me if i'm wrong here

so why buy an 80k car or whatever when you can have basically the same one for half the price?

 

Holy BAR-B-QUED Vette, Batman!

 

Motortrend has bad info.

 

Mmmkay.

holy sh . That is insane and borderline overkill....i like it . Now i'll just cross my fingers and hope it turns out true. The hp/tq, choice of motor (supposed to be very expensive), and weight figures (200+lbs lighter than current Cobra but with bigger 5.4) are almost too good to be true. We shall see.

 

Is anyone else allready bored with the looks of the current mustang?? The Saleen and GTR ones are worse looking than stock ones. they are ugly.

 

200lbs. lighter???? That would put it in the V6 Stang weight class, I can't see that happening unless the Cobra get a CF body, but then the price will be $50K

 

Meant 200lbs lighter than current SVT Cobra. Aren't the 04 Cobra's in the 37XXlb range? MT is saying this one will weight in the 35XX's. Still, with the GT's aluminum block blown 5.4 weighing as much as the Cobra iron block blown 4.6, and with the new mustang platform being heavier and bigger than the sn95's, it is hard to imagine that a future SVT Cobra would weigh less than the outgoing 04 model. The use of live-axle will bring weight down a bit, but they'll probably have to employ lighter parts and materials if this 35XXlb weigh figure is to be a reality imo.

 

Could someone repost the info on this messageboard?

I jizzed all over the monitor while reading the link and got to the part about a s/c 5.4L
