The upcoming Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra (Carroll's name needs to be on it) should have a 440 hp 5.0 V-8 like the 2004 Ford Mustang GT-R.
Also, how about an independent rear suspension?

have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
Don't make me beg ford!
Oh, yeah, according to motortrend, I don't know how reliable they are, but they said IRS will be an option. I think it should be standard this time. Well, if we can't get this motor above, maybe ford will five us a specialty mustang, like the Cobra R.
Here's hoping

Re: 2006 mustang cobra wish
why would u want a 5.0 dohc instead of a 5.4? doesnt make a lot of sense to me. i love what theyre doing with the cobra, and if they were to bring back a old pushrod motor like some wished for on here the only way id like that is if it was very similar to the old 351 boss motor.

Re: 2006 mustang cobra wish
Push rods is making a step back. The 3v engine is the way to go, as long as they can get the exhaust to extract a little more air.
Give me a 5.4, 3v, twin turbo, 9:1, 3.55 gears, IRS, 23mpg, 6 speed, pushing 600hp and I will be a happy camper.
