As far as Cobra goes.....if they have two versions....the "standard" normally aspirated 400 hp version should cost about the same as a current Cobra. If they release a S/C, supercooled, 500 hp Cobra, expect to pay $40K++.

I don't know why some of the M*stang guys are so happy about this when the car they have now looks better and isn't retro. But thats MO I guess.

hmmmm..not retro,i guess the horse in the grill,side scoops,tri-taillights,long hood,short deck,twin pod dash(which looks more stingray than classic mustang),not to mention the mach 1 with its shaker hood and '60s style stripes,whew,i sure i am glad the current car has no retro cues

I'm going to call "BS" on this one - I've got very good information that says they're only in the DV (Ford calls it "CP") prototype phase right now. While there is going to be some overlap of DV and production tooling kick-off due to Ford's slow start on this project, I seriously doubt that they're going to start cranking these things out in another six months. Then again, I could be wrong - I don't have anything to do with this program.

If they make a 500HP Cobra for $35,000 I will definatly be jumping ship to Ford

unless I can get a 450HP GTO for the same price

Isn't that really something?! As a GM fan, sometimes I feel that I am trapped in some sort of disfunctional consumer relationship.

Usually the "seller" will stand on his head to entice the "buyer" to buy.

We seem to be in the unusual position of actually begging the seller to give us something to buy.....and the seller refuses.

So when can we see pics of the actual production version? I know it can't be too far off, but i'm very curious as to how it looks.

Any words on whether the Cobra will have a N/A option as well? I remember a BON interview long ago on the 03 Cobra, and some Ford Exec mentioned the possibility of selling the S/c engine alongside the N/A one on the upcoming Cobra.

Just like the concept, but with different taillights, a fake gas filler cap in the center, less severe wheel lip creases, and uncovered rear side windows.

Sheesh Ford enough of the fake cosmetic stuff....the fake brake cooling ducts on the current Mustangs are cheesy enough aren't they?
