2006 mustang cobra wish

[ghostx]

Anybody besides me like to see the next Cobra have the 5.0L Cammer instead of a supercharged 4.6??? I know I would. The Cammer already has the potential to be tuned to 500hp. If I'm not mistaken that would make the Cobra a potential giant killer without forced induction. Then we as aftermarket tuners could throw our own superchargers or even twin-turbo charge it. The cobra would OWN!!! But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. I mean... why shouldn't Ford consider that?

It could be just a Mustang GT with independant suspension and a 5.0L Cammer engine. Killer

Why? So that you can have a much poorer powerband? With big heads and a huge intake that motor makes absolutely ZERO low end torque. The only saving grace of the 03/04's that actually made it fast was the fact that it had tons of low end torque to get its massive weight going from a stand still. Lose the roots blower and you lose that torque, it's not gonna happen. Plus a 500 horsepower naturally aspirated motor isn't nearly as reliable, and good luck building one that passes noise regulations.

SVT has plans to put a motor from a Ford GT (supercharged 5.4L Lightning hopped up) in front of a t-56 6-speed manual transmission with re-engineered independant rear suspention. this from a book i recieved for chrismas about the evolution of the '05 mustang. as well as word from the inside (SVT engineer i know, living near detroit pays off). so there.

Hey i'm from detroit too, but I'm stationed in Japan right now. Anyway, i thought it was a good idea to put the cammer in. Well, does anybody know why we can't get a turbocharged cobra instead of a supercharged one. Besides tradition.

You're saying Ford's DOHC 5.0 has zero low end torque? If that's so, why did they put that engine in the GT-R? Why then did that engine outperform a supercharged 4.6, which has more low end torque by what you say, in its last road test?
It must be doing something right and I sure wouldn't mind seeing those magical "5.0" emblems back on the side of the Mustang.

While we're pipe dreaming here a little bit, I'm going to say what I'd like to see in the new 06 Mustang Cobra. I'd like to see the V10 that was in the A/C Cobra concept car. A Mustang with 600 hp and 500 lb/tq would destroy what compitition it has left.

Speaking of the A/C Cobra, I saw on Discovery Channel last night Ford plans to not build the A/C Cobra but the Shelby GR-1. The Cobra was the concept plans but the GR-1 would be the actual car in the dealerships if this happened. Anybody heard any word about this car?

I seen that same show. thats the first i heard about the GR-1. that was a sweet car and it was cool how they came up with that. i didnt know that had a V10 in it. WOW thats great. thats different then the Ford GT500 right? i was kinda thinking that the Gr1 was replacing it.

Yeah I looked it up today and found out it's going to have the same engine as the A/C Cobra concept. Also, it's not replacing the Ford GT in any way shape or form. If you remember from that show, they said Ford is sending a message to the car world saying it wants to be a major competator in the exotic market. The GT-40 was the first step and if this GR-1 gets the green light, it'll be the second.

[lckycharm713]

yeah, i do remember something about that. i wonder how much the gr1 will cost?

[vette_7t9]

I would of course want the 5.0 cammer in the SVT Cobra, no less. Or atleast make a boss 302 to put the cammer in, or a GT500 for the cammer? (5.0, GT500?) That would be pretty sweeet. But if its the 5.4 supercharged, thats gona be pretty crazy. N/A tune can bring it to some pretty amazing levels, atleast above 350-400hp.

The GT will be ending production when the GR-1 comes online. It's not that Ford wants to end production, the GT will not pass the safety requirments in 08.
