Re: PRODUCTION '07 Cobra pics.

Damn thats a sweet lookin car.
I am getting oh so tired of beating myself over the head with a chevrolet bowtie to rid these evil Mustang thoughts from my brain.
Why did GM have to screw things up so badly?

Re: PRODUCTION '07 Cobra pics.

I think ford should just save some money and use the 1960's tooling.

Wreaks of nostalgia and thats it.

I agree about the "SHELBY" lettering... looked nice on the back, they should have kept it there.


Maybe it won't be called a "Shelby GT500" afterall... I don't see "Shelby" on the car anywhere.

Re: PRODUCTION '07 Cobra pics.

Just to redundently reiterate the same things that have already been said by others who agree with me....

Concept hood and lettering need to come back.

The extrovert in me really likes the yellow

Re: PRODUCTION '07 Cobra pics.

I'm still not feeling it. If anything the additions make it even more oddly bulgy and blocky looking.. Did they pull out that front bumper even more?

Hope this isn't the final one. Other than that . . . very fine car. We do have a place in line for one, and I may have to take it unless something else is on the horizon.

Re: PRODUCTION '07 Cobra pics.

I preferr the Rouch's race ready look, even though it will certainly be slower, but just IMO.

I agree.

It cant take that much talent to restyle a style can it.

Dont get me wrong, the car looks cool, just dont look at it to long.

True true, i wounder why they took shelby's name off? Did he not like the car?..lol Maybe he is gunna do a shelby gt500 and make it look right...or so one can only hope.

The grill reminds me of my step mothers smiling pomeranians. Its not agressive enough.

Re: PRODUCTION '07 Cobra pics.

From what I have read, this was just a mule. It is just a standard GT body with a few of the GT500 parts (front grille), and one of the test hoods. This is why there is no Shelby lettering on the back.

You should read all the screaming, yelling, whining and bitching on SVTperformance.com. It really is too funny. The guy who knew about the car came in on one thread, and made a very simple explanation............ and all of the whiners just completely ignored him.

I just think it will be interesting to watch the car develop............. between now and when it is released. It should be quite a car.

Bingo - test mule.
Not as ugly as the old 05 body grafted onto the early DEW platform from 2 years ago, but not done yet either.
Drivetrain testing, NVH, and long-term testing is well underway.

Like I would turn one down if it were offered to me...
