    So Motortrend has sweet news

    Wow, that C6 ZO6 looks like it's going to be a beast! The new aluminum 5.4 3V s/c engine will most likely be a little lighter than the previous SVT's iron block 4.6 4V s/c, so weight on the nose of the new SVT shouldn't be a problem. Also, the T-56 tranny and IRS will add a few more pounds...

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    I can't wait to see how fast he goes with the new one. I saw that 'mountain of aluminum' in a pic posted on the MD forum. Some of those parts are quite rare - he must be well connected. :) Your car is just as impressive to me, along with your driving of course. Are you going to leave...

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    No need to rev 'em to the moon. See: Cobra R. See: Ford GT. Don't be ridiculous! :)

    Seriously, what difference does it make that it has a blower or not? Yes they whine, along with the competition... :D

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    Although it is a beautiful powerplant, the 'cammer' was not a choice as it is not a Ford production engine. And what is all this fascination with natural aspiration from so many people(not just BAleR)? I'm a purist and I love making power the 'old-fashioned way', but we need more cubes or a...

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    That sounds interesting. I wonder if there is more than one casting right now for the 3V head - it seems like they would want one with more port volume for a supercharged 5.4 vs. N/A 4.6. They could perhaps get away with using the same one on the 5.4 3V truck engine since torque is more...

    Bigger bore

    The bore spacing is too tight to allow it. The Cammer has a 3.7" I believe, but that's it. That is the downfall of the modulars - they were squished for use as FWD also, but were never used as originally intended but still we have to live with it. No matter, throw in forged internals and a...

    06/07 Mustang SVT

    '07 Cobra vs. '03-'04 Cobra... Wonder if we'll have any threads like this? :bang:

    06/07 Mustang SVT

    I think it will be some 3V variant.

    Does anyone know the full specs on the O5 GT powerplant

    The new 4.6 3V is a nice improvement from the previous 260 hp 2V. And 70 lbs lighter on top of that. I think it looks nice as well - love the magnesium valve covers and composite intake, etc. Makes me almost forgive them for the pathetic bore spacing of the modulars. :D

    Which one is better on 05??

    Makes sense, Cobra Rs are made in Japan. Says it right on them... :shrug: :D

    Which one is better on 05??

    I like 'C' personally.

    '05 GT Handling

    Is this post going to turn into an '04 Cobra vs. '05 GT debate as well? I wouldn't exactly call the handling differences between the two minute. :)

    Is Ford really taking a production break over the holidays ???

    In the meantime, you could always post some pics of the other Mustang. Or yourself... :shrug: :D

    Engine Intake Cover

    They probably realized how silly it was since it served no purpose, like those scoops on previous models. :) I honestly like the bare composite manifold better though.

    Is Ford really taking a production break over the holidays ???

    Most likely. Hang in there! I waited five months for a car once. There was a hold on this, other options weren't yet available, Delco went on strike(Bose stereo). To top it all off, when the car finally arrived it was packed too closely to another car on the car transporter and had dents...

    Hello and greetings!

    Congrats on your car(s)! Why did ya get two? Couldn't decide? :D Or is one for the S.O.? Torch Red is my favorite color so far, with Sonic Blue not far behind.

    First police chase of a new Stang.

    If the cops had 5.0 coupes, this chase would be about two minutes long. :D
