Please stop telling me I don't know what I’m talking about, That just makes me want to recant with a FU.
Your link that you put up and said to look at the last paragraph had this comment.
"outsourcing more work to Roush Enterprises, Inc., which has helped on past projects"
Like I said before, Jack worked with the SVT on the Bullit That’s all, He has nothing to do with Cobras or Shelby.
Here’s jack with Bullit 1.

"See, there you go again with the names. "
I didn't call anyone a name, Unless you may consider yourself dumb and then all I said was "Just because people are dumb don't mean they are correct."
The quote
"people don't have a clue"
Came from Yellow 04 post, I just cut and paste it with Quotation marks around it.
Here’s his whole post.

OMG some people in this thread have no clue what the hell they are talking about.
Roush and SVT have gone hand and hand with the design of the Cobras for years. Tons of testing is/was done at Roush.
Just because of the Shelby name on the car isn't the reason the car is so expensive it’s due to the fact that it’s a better car in general to the 03/04 Cobra. Better brakes,
suspension, interior, motor, transmission, ect cost more. Now would the markups been as bad and lasted as long as they did, most likely not but the car would still have been a $40k+ car with or without Shelby’s name.
The Shelby GT500/ Cobra was well into the design faze/prototype faze before anyone ever thought about bringing Shelby into it. The ONLY input Shelby gave was his name and that it needed wider tires.
Tons of people bitch that the GT500 is not as good as what the Cobra could have been. Those people are morons because the 2007-2010+ GT500 is the 2007-2010+ Cobra. It’s a different name but it was designed by SVT/Roush to be the new Cobra but some marketing exec thought it would sell better with the Shelby name. Guess what he was right and they are still selling very well for the economic state we are in.
As for the motor change it will continue to be a 5.4 supposedly an aluminum block with even a little more power, possibly the TVS blower will be seen for 2011 but not 100% confirmed. As for the name it will stay GT500 till at least 2012 as ford signed another 3 year contract to use the Shelby name. (2007-2009) (2010-2012)"
And finally, A Snake put on a car by Shelby or any V6 owner doesn't make it a Cobra, The last AC Cobra was indeed made in 1967 and in 1968 (November) I almost bought one that had a 1968 title.
Shelby Putting Cobra on a Mustang means about as much as a Mag writer stating the Gt 500 is a Cobra, Nothing, it's just a badge and it's just a article.
When is a Cobra a Cobra, When FORD puts Cobra on the Car and more importantly as an option in the Sticker and like the Bullit, will have an identifying vin number that will indicate COBRA.
This whole debate goes on for years , even when Ford was making a 140 HP Fox Cobra, They were slow and pathetic and didn't deserve the Cobra name, But they were and are Cobras and the Shelby's are GT, Gt500 etc. Not cobras.
