Just wondering if you guys had heard...

[JRico00]

I just found this out so I thought i'd share with you guys. Did you hear about the '05 Cobras. They're gonna have the motor from the '05 GT. And I don't mean Mustang GT, I mean the 550 hp supercharged V8. I just think that's really awesome and want to know what you guys think.

[GritMaster]

But it's not Supercharged is it?

And isn't that the engine out of the lightning anyway?

[JRico00]

Yeah, it's gonna be supercharged, and the previous gen Cobra motors went in Lightnings.

[GritMaster]

I meant the Ford GT's engine, Isn't it just a rebuilt Lightning engine?

And that'll be cool with the engine in there, but will it be runnin the full boost for 500HP? I wouldn't think so... but Maybe they wanna try and compete with the z06, Might be nice

[street_racer_00]

Wow, these horsepower races are getting crazy.

[eps]

...you know, I THINK there MIGHT be a Mustang forum around here somewhere.

[dampachi]

There is no 05 cobra. And the 03/04 lightnings had supercharged 5.4 litre engines as I recall..and the cobra had a DOHC 4.6 with a supercharger.

[Thourun]

No 05 Cobra?

[dampachi]

Nope, it's not coming out until 06 or 07.

Gar. First off thats wrong, second of why would you do that? A cobra only had 10 more hp(390hp vs. 380hp) and a ton less torque(390tq vs. 450tq)

99-04 Lightnings had a supercharged 5.4L 360hp(99-00) 380hp(01-04). Cobras had 4.6L the 03-04s had superchargers. 93-95 Lightnings had the 351w no supercharger.

2007 SVT Mustang Cobra
460 horsepower
480 lb torque
5.4 supercharged dohc (same engine from the GT-40)
$35,000

The reason the horsepower and torque aren't like the GT-40's is because they switched the pullies for the supercharger and stuff to lower the numbers on it. I'm sure that once it's out you can probably go somewhere and get the pullies to get it to the full 500.

I forget where I got that information but if you search "2006/2007 SVT Cobra" you'll get tons of sites that have inside information and so on. Most of the sites though pretty much have the same information I just gave. The numbers and such are flexed some but that's about the average.

[RedLightning]

I saw some 07 Cobra info on svtperformance.com. Youd have to do a search on their site b/c it was posted on there awhile ago.

Wow, I'm not a ford kinda guy, but I gotta hand it to ford for making a car with that much HP at that kinda price.
