    Don't count on the next Cobra getting the Ford GT engine.

    http://www.karkraft.com/engines.htm $44,995.00 for the engine alone. I'll stick with the current engine or the new 6.2L coming out.

    Which SVT Mustang Cobra would you rather have?

    My friend with a 2003 Cobra won't by a new 2007 if it is not supercharged. Even if the new one is a lot lighter and more powerful stock. :rolleyes:

    New Ford 6.2L V8 might be a pushrod engine?

    According to the Sept. Motortrend, Ford hasn't yet decided on whether the upcomming 6.2L V8 will be a pushrod or OHC engine. I guess the engine isn't far enough in development yet. Aside from being smaller, lighter, and cheaper to build, going with pushrod design will make it easier and...

    http://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_code=carnews&loc_code=index&content_code=09324469 The 400HP C6 Vette will be $1,305 cheaper than the 2004 C5 with manual tranny. Hopfully the SVT team relizes that if they give the Cobra base Vette performance, they still can't give...

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    http://www.detnews.com/2004/autosinsider/0405/27/b01-165355.htm New 6.2L V8 from Ford, I wonder if it will fit in the Stang. This would be a good engine for the new Navigator and Lincon Mark LT to help set them apart from the Expedition and F-150. Plus the Navigator needs to catch up to...

    I don't like the V6 Mustang

    Does anyone else think the V6 Stang is kind of boring and ugly? I think it is a big step backwards from the last gen V6, it doesn't even look sporty. I hate those rims, whats with the spinner? more pics : http://www.darksummer.com/40th.htm I don't know how they pull off making it look so...

    '05 V6/GT vs. GTR head lights

    One of the things I don't care for on the '05 Stang is the round head lights, they make the car look like it is sad. I think the GT-R lights are 10x better and make the car look a lot meaner. what do you guys think?

    What size rims do you want on your '05?

    What size rims do you want on your '05 Mustang? 18" is big enough for me. 16" are too small, the '05 will ride on 65 series tires, those are like light truck tires.

    Live axel saves $300 on 2005 Stang

    If the Shelby Cobra comes out, will it hold back the performance of the SVT Cobra

    If the Shelby Cobra comes out, will it hold back the performance of the SVT Cobra? THe Ford GT is 500HP and $140K and rumors have it that if the Shelby Cobra is built it will cost about the same as a Viper ($83K). Since it would be cheaper, I would also expext it to have less HP than Fords...

    what will the '06 Cobra look like?

    Does anyone know if the rumors are true that the Cobra will have slightly different sheet metal? I'm guessing that the extreior changes will be about the same as on the '03, but then again SVT said the Cobra will be moving upscale so that probably means a lot of changes over the GT.

    How long will the new rerto Stang last???

    I think Ford did a great job with the new Mustang, powertrains, options, an styling all look pretty good. But like all other retro cars that have come out in the past few years, after a few years on the market sales drop big time. Just look at the Thunderbird. Do you guys think the...
