It says the next Cobra will be 5.4 and supercharged to 500hp to give the z06 a good run. Also says z06 will be 6.3 for 500hp. Sounds great to me
numenor27 said:that should be great. I saw that the z06 is gonna be a 6.2L, It was rumored to be 7.0L a while ago

did i forget any?
That’s stupid. They’re not lazy. A lot more engineering went into the 03 & 04 Cobras than it would take to punch out a 4.6 or a 5.4.2005stangman05 said:The new z06 is going to have a 427 (7.0 liter). Why the hell doesn't ford sleeve out a 5.4 and stroke it so it is a 427 as well?
The supercharger is a nice touch but the more cubic inches the better!
The more cubic inches an engine has the more low end torque it makes I don't think it is smart that ford is lazy and just slaps a supercharger on every thing in stead of doing it the right way MORE CUBIC INCHES PLEASE! But the new cobra will be sweet I must agree

I'm willing to bet we won't see a 500 hp Z06. GM ends up screwing their folks every time they come out with a new Z06 model. when it was first released they said it would be hitting 425 hp. not the case. Then when the bumped up the hp again they were talking about 450. Not the case. Look at the stupid SS truck. Told folks that it would have over 350hp when first being released to the public. not the case it got 300hp and it weighs I believe somewhere close to 4500-5000lbs. the car/truck is super piggy. The only underrating GM did was with the Fbody twins but that’s it. And there was a lot more talk about the GTO being over 400hp a few months back...Not the case.stangerjes said:Check it out Motor Trend Jan 05 issue pages 18 and 19. 6.3 liter 500hp vette and 5.4 supercharged cobra. Also some other sweet hotrods, CTS-v super with either 515 superchared ls2 or 600hp 7.0 covette blue devil v8. STS-v supercharged northstar V8. Dodge Charger will have hemi 340hp and a SRT 8 with 425 hp. I hope they are correct cuz i'm getting really excited about the future of rearwheel american muscle baby ya baby
