2007 Shelby Cobra GT500 (Mustang)

Due to be officially announced tomorrow at the New York auto show. Guess Ford couldn't hold out another day

5.4L Supercharged V8 pushing 450hp, only downside is it will also be pushing $40,000

Schweet!

The front end looks awesome, but they should really consider some more noticebale side skirts. I find the ugliest part of the new Mustang to be the extremely bland side view front the waist down.

Is that a new Lightning I see?

Nope...it's called the Adrenaline and is based off the new Explorer SportTrac platform with a boosted 32valve 4.6 in it.

i wonder if a pulley swap will push the horsepower past 500?

and GT500. then a GT350 should be in the works too. this is a great time to be a Mustang owner!

Looks like an awesome machine to fill the gap until Ford decides to build a replacement for the Lightning. 390hp Supercharged 4.6L V8. The stats on the motor look suprising like the 03/04 Cobra motor.

Looks like SVT is definitely back in the game

Ford also announced a new color for the Ford GT to celebrate the GT40's 40th Anniversary of sweeping LeMans in 1966.

Oh man, I will certainly have to get one of those when they come out....the GT500 I mean. That is the baddest mustang I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing!

To those who have already seen this thread, I added a couple of pics to my initial post. Also, looks like Ford removed the info from the Ford Media site that I linked to but, I will see if I can post more info when it is officially announced tomorrow.

Enjoy

Agreed. The sides make it look like a brick. Very uneventful. But the Cobra is much improved over the V6 and GT

No, it's technically not called a Lightning. It's called the Ford SVT Adrenaline. Basically, a Lightning with 4 doors

I bet it would put you up in the 500 club. Time to start saving.

Now that's something I may consider importing!
