no information thus far about an '05 cobra, as far as i know.
an '04 cobra will run in the high twelves with a good driver with no ten minute tune up. i dunno about 0-60

stock i think they run about 8 psi. prolly can't get much past that without fuel system upgrades.

What sort of fuel system upgrade?
I have also heard that the 04 cobra's were de-tuned from factory? I dunno, maybe hear-say, But how much boost can the stock eaton super charger put out, max? Considering you had a boost controller.

you can only run so much boost/horsepower on a stock bottom end til you end up picking your connecting rods up off the ground.
a fuel system upgrade means high-flow rails and high-output injectors, as well as a high flow, high pressure pump. bigger fuel lines go without question.

From what I remember hearing, there will not be a SVT Cobra produced in 05.

True but it takes a shit load for a Manley H-rod stock equipped block.

didn't know that sc'd cobras had h-beams... that changes a lot =)
in that case, you'd be more limited by the IRS in terms of amount of hp/torque and tire. slicks will snap those axles like they're nothing.

Yep, they're gonna wait until 2006 to drop the monster, so the mags said.

The 3.8 super charged had 12 lbs of boost stock. I'm sure a modern cobra can handle it.

Sooo...in the mean time, buy the '05, spend a year building it up (boost n stuff) and have a modern platform faster than the '06 Cobra when it's released.
Disclaimer: This is assuming, of course, you have the money to do all this in these great economic times. If not, well, the idea's not so bad.
