    Compression ratio?

    A lot of the insurance cost has to due with the cars value, not so much HP. So a $35,000 Cobra will always be more to insure than a $26K GT. Used Cobra might be a different story, but you would have to check with the insurance co. Price a 2001 Cobra vs. a 2004 GT with the insurance co. and...

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS?

    The C6 is NOT retro, but neither was the C4, C5, or the last years of the 5.0 80's/90's Mustangs. The 63-64 Vette didn't have a 5.7L V8. I don't think the car needs to be a retro design to have a traditional/historic displacement. The 2006 Z06 is getting a 427ci V8, but will be styled very...

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS?

    The Vette had a 5.7L V8 from 1969 to 2004 (correct me if my years are off) so that displacement has just as much history with the Vette as a 5.0L did with the Mustang (although the 5.7 changed from 350ci to 346ci in '97) The 2005 Vette is the C6 and has the 400HP LS2. The Camaro will get...

    Compression ratio?

    Why would you supercharge a Mach 1 DOHC 4.6L when Ford already makes a Supercharged version of that same engine that is tuned to handle a lot of boost in the Cobra? So you won't be insuring the mods? You'll probably put $4000-$6000 into the car if your adding a S/C and all the mods/tuning...

    GTO or Stang

    The GTO is definatly tuned more for smooth ride than for the road course. The funny thing is C&D got the same skid pad #'s for the GTO and Cobra (.88g) so I guess cornering can't be that bad if it is pulling the same #'s as the Cobra.

    GTO or Stang

    2004 GTO 350HP is probably a tenth or two faster than the 2005 Mustang, but by the time the 2005 Mustang is out the 2005 GTO will be out and it will have a 400HP LS2 and should be damn close to the current Cobra. Likke this article shows...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Looks like prices will be dropping by the time the New Mustang is out: http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/2004-05-21-saudi-oil_x.htm

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    I don't know about that. Usually the manual is only better on gas beacuse it has more gears. The '05 Stang will have 5 gears in both the auto and manual.

    has anyone heard anything else about the 300hp under $20,000

    300HP V8 Mustang for under $20,000 is just an urban legend.

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS?

    It is kind of Funny how Mustang fans are so nostolgic of displacement numbers, No one on the Vette and Camaro forums is shedding a tear over the loss of the 5.7L for the new 6.0L :D

    Which engine you rather have in the next Mach 1/ BOSS?

    I thought for sure the 5.4L would have won. The 5.4L was very desired for the SN95 Stang

    What engine would you rather see in the next Cobra (R)

    In my V10 vs. S/C V8 poll the V10 won 88 votes to 75. I think a V10 stang would be cool, I guess I should have added that to the poll. A 6.8L 3v SOHC aluminum V10 would be right up there with the other 2 engines.

    No 18 inch wheel eveyone e-mail ford and scream

    Don't forget the side wall is getting bigger on all new mustangs, 18"s on the 05 should ride better than 18"s on the 04 and probably better than the current 17"s.

    What engine would you rather see in the next Cobra (R)

    I see what your saying now. I mistook what you said before for your personal feelings, not from the Ford point of view. I forgot about the whole 5.0/4.6 mess, after woking hard for years to convince Mustang owners and loyalist that their beloved 5.0L and 5.8L pushrod V8s were being replaced...

    Newer 05 pics and unofficial Cobra info

    425HP out of a Supercharged 5.4l, Ford can get that out of the current 4v 4.6L S/c V8 If it is in the low-mid 400 range than I say it will be a 4.6L, Anything above 450HP and Ford will go with the 5.4L

    What engine would you rather see in the next Cobra (R)

    Slap in the face???? Stone age????? If it is good enoght for a $400,000 supercar I think it will be good enough for a $60,000 Mustang. Saying that going to a pushrod engine is "huge step backwards" is very ignorant and makes you sound like a ricer. GM and now Dodge have proven that a modern...

    What engine would you rather see in the next Cobra (R)

    What engine would you rather see in the next Cobra or most likly Cobra R? Supercharged 5.4L DOHC V8 from the Ford GT HP = 550 @ 6,500rpm Torque = 500 @ 3,750rpm or The 7.0L cam-in-block Ford based aluminum V8 from the Saleen S7 HP = 550 @ 6400rpm Torque = 520 @ 4000 rpm (assume...
