so it could have a wing in the back part, a pair of lights in the grill, an air scoop or entrance (how the hell it's called???)

hehe
T-tops would be fun, once again... i cant confirm/deny this one
no falcon in the US.... duh
cougar might come back... eh, i guess i dont really care 8)
Ford will most likely be making an AWD sedan... hehe, its called the freestyle, and 500 also has AWD. available now

how about mustang cobra info?
5.4liter
3 valve heads
480~ish hp
live rear axle
outsourced transmission, T56 doesnt appear here
likely to kill a C6 in straightaways, and still maintane fair handling
and...
make GM bring an over developed camaro out which will cost too much, while also eating into corvette sales

the t56 is built in mexico i believe. and the awd is suppost to be on a stretch 500 chassis. i didn't mention it because i didn't think people on here were familiar with it.

It still looks about as aerodynamic as a brick on wheels. I'd take the C6 anyday over this car. 8)

not too bad, I acn't wait to see a vette-beating shelby 500, which is looking pretty good acording to rumors, 550hp, independent rear suspension....oh god I can't wait that old man better hang in there a few more years.

this looks to be test mule for the new cobra with a standard GT body save for the hood bulge/scoop whatever it is. interesting nonetheless. thanks for the pic.

I cant wait! This horsepower war is becoming amazing! The numbers are sooo high. Makes me question going all-out on my fox-body when i could start saving for one of these bad boys. The live axle was probably because there was a trend in the 03/04 cobras to make them into hardcore drag cars since they could run 10s and 9s so easily. I dont know why you guys hate it so much, you could still make a live axle car handle pretty damn well.
