pyro_la said:If anybody has any info on the new SVT which will be sold late 06 as a 07 model please post here. Not sure weather to buy 05 GT or wait for the SVT. What do you ppl think. Any info on the SVT appreciated.
Well it's not a rumor IMO since SVT has it listed on their site that the next Cobra will be out as a 2007 modelTomServo92 said:There's been lots of rumors but nothing definite. Just stay tuned...

Ahhhh I stand correctedsvtguy said:I think he means rumors surrounding the powerplant 5.4 vs. 4.6, 3V vs. 4v etc.
Where on the site? I searched for a couple of minutes and found no news.AzSnake said:Well it's not a rumor IMO since SVT has it listed on their site that the next Cobra will be out as a 2007 model

spectravp said:I think you are talking about the 6.2L Hurricane that is in development. If so, there is no way that will be in the Cobra. My guess is the 5.4... at best. The Hurricane may end up in a limited production Cobra R or something, but in the regular SVT, I highly doubt it.
I think you’re a lot more likely to see a 4.6 with the twin screw SC that we see on the Ford GT. Colleti already stated that "you don't think we would invest all this money on the GT and it's drive train to just put it in one car do you?" Fact is the DEW light can't accommodate a wider motor than what the current DOHC 4.6 comes in at. This is why they had to shut down the Mustang line in 2000 to shoehorn the Cobra R's 5.4 in. They had to modify the strut towers and it can't have the valve covers removed without taking the motor out. The DEW lite chassis is not a real significant departure from this. And their NOT going to do something like that for a Cobra with high production numbers (realative to the 300 Cobra R’s) Their not going to devise a whole new motor and block to accommodate the Cobra. they have also gotten HUGE press for the Super Charged 03 and 04's. It's been a win situation for them and don't expect to see them depart from that combination any time soon. The N/A rumors are vaporware. It’s easier for Ford to develop a SC high hp car than to develop a NA version.spikeGT_99 said:however unlikely im keeping my fingers crossed for the hurricane, it may be a possibility with the f-bodies coming back and supposedly having the ls2 in them, i read on here somewhere about maybe shortening the stroke on the 6.2 hurricane and making it a 5.3L (tropical depression)or something like that and putting that in the gt's or maybe a special edition. 5.3L gt 6.2L cobra in any case they probably wont be putting a 4.6 in the cobras, they are aiming for 400 hp n/a from what ive heard, and they said they couldnt get it from a 4.6 3v cuz they tried and it wouldnt pass emissions and reliability requirements, they've retired the s/c 4.6 and prob wont use 4v heads on the 4.6 again b/c of cost, so we're left with a 5.4 or the hurricane in all likelihood, so im gonna keep hoping

CA Lightfoot said:...I just wonder how Ford can get 400hp from a 5.4 when GM needs 6.0 for their 400hp LS2....
CA Lightfoot said:I agree, but how about this scenario:
-- SVT Cobra: naturally-aspirated 400hp, IRS, etc... blow the GTO into the weeds. I just wonder how Ford can get 400hp from a 5.4 when GM needs 6.0 for their 400hp LS2.
