    so why didn't Ford build this car 5 years ago?

    Umm yea Toyota DID NOT and I repeat DID NOT pass Ford last year in sales. They posted that story about taking the #2 position away and then a week latter they admitted in using their own specific tabulation method. And admitted that If they used the industry standard in sales Ford still made...

    Aren't the Machs running higher C/R than the 96-01 CObras?

    Tumble Port vs. Split Port

    I have been thinking of this mod for some time n my car but I have some questions. What was involved with your fuel system? Did you have to turn it to a return-less system? Did you need a new tank and did you need a 99+ computer? I want to get all the info together before I invest in the...

    So Motortrend has sweet news

    LOL, no it obviously doesn’t mean it costs Ford 45K but your not going to see a 2 injector 5.4 DOHC, Dry sump, Twin Screw AL Block or anything close to it in the Cobra. Aside from the costs (and that motor DOES have major cost differences vs. lets say the L’s motor) the issue of the motors...

    So Motortrend has sweet news

    The 5.4 SC in the GT motor is a 45,000 dollar motor. I don’t expect them to slide that or any other variation of it into the S197. Like I mentioned earlier. The Engine bay will not accommodate the 5.4 with modification. They had to completely shut the Mustang line when making the 2000 Cobra...

    So Motortrend has sweet news

    Thats because GM hasn't released any official info on the yet. It's all vaporware. Just like us talking about a 500hp Cobra, nobody outside SVT and Fords top tier execs knows for sure.

    It all has to do with what the market will support. The market will not support a Mustang Cobra over 40K. 40K is even pushing it. Even with 500hp it would generate a TON of interest but it that’s doesn’t mean it would generate sales. The average buyer of a SVT Cobra is in over 30, has kids...

    PUT YOUR CRACK PIPE DOWN!!!!!! No LS1 from the factory put out over 400hp at the crank!!! Please leave troll No Z06 motor was underrated, or GTO motor or C5 motor. They put out exactly what was advertised. Their RWHP was right where they should have been. LOL, that’s funny as hell, no GTO...

    Well their are also issues with the L' and the corp fuel economy averages. With the Ford GT in the lineup getting about 12mpg Ford can’t add in a L that will get 16mpg or it would put them below the average standard. That’s why they announced it would be coming out 1 year after the GT is...

    So Motortrend has sweet news

    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...

    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. Block is ROCK solid. Cams have a Blower profile, Heads are AMAZING, Bottom end is bullet proof, etc, etc, etc. this was a FI specific engine design. The only...

    06/07 Mustang SVT

    That rumor has pretty much been proven to be false. SVT isn't going anywhere, at least anytime soon.

    06/07 Mustang SVT

    Also look at it this way. the current 4.6 in the 04 Cobra would net 500hp NO PROBLEM with a Twin screw alone. With the same boost levels. Now add the Variable Valve Timing on the new 3v 4.6 and the Variable intake runners available on the FR500 intake design and with the other induction...

    Seems I'm not the only one liking the new Saleen.....

    The Saleen comes with much more than just wheels, and 25 more hp and a body kit. It comes with a new shifter, new interior trim, HID headlights, SFC's, and Saleens full suspension package. I also believe they change up the brakes. They also have a very tick exhaust on this car. I have seen...

    Is it true???

    Not attacking you but look where are the trademarks? If GM or Ford or Chrysler had come up with these terms they would have trademarked them.

    Need help spending money... $8k

    You can pickup a 03 Longblock for about 5.5K KB SC and a Tune would put you right about 8Kish.

    Is it true???

    Um no, right back at you Do a search on Positraction....Nearly EVERY locker company and 3rd member company out there has "positraction" listed for every type of vehicle they make for. If it was what GM named their unit it would be a trademark and would not be allowed to be used in the context...

    Chris Johnson did my chip. I believe anything that comes out of their camp. I have no reason to doubt them. Now wait till they add a set of 4:10's or 3:73's. :nice:
