For you Chicago people the Cobra will be displayed at the Auto Show. I wish they one to show at the Detroit Auto show. :sad:

I'm in love 2764. This is "ONE FINE AUTOMOBILE" I can see it in Black. Swallowing up a 2002 Firebird Trans Am.

I think the Mach 1,with it's reported 300 HP 32v engine,will be the better deal for the money. I just prefer the N/A engine setups,plus it will be a cool retro of the 1970 version. I guess it will only be a tic faster than the Bullitt,depending on the driver.

Hmmmmmmm, all this factory bottom end beefing of the new Cobra engine....What does this tell you about the durability of the hundreds of older Cobras running around with superchargers? I wouldn't buy a used one with a supercharger!!! The 03' does sound like Ford is getting with it,as far as building a decent engine to make power with. Reminds me of the old SCJ option,with all the bottom end goodies!!!

For 35K why would you want to purchase a Roush Stage III? And did any one notice the rear spoiler is real similar to that of the Bullitt prototype! Hmmmmmm.

Mus408,

One of the reasons I wouldn't buy an older Cobra with a supercharger either is the fact that older Cobra's have an aluminum motor which really when combined with a supercharger impacts the durability. The new 03 Cobra uses the cast motor 4.6 (like our Bullitt's have) which should really be able to handle a supercharger (things like pistons, rings, etc.. may need changed but the actual cast motor should handle a supercharger). This month's MotorTrend really touches on this issue.

The 03 Cobra hood looks like what should have been on the 01 Bullitt, looks closer to the 68 Mustang. Plus would have been nice to get the motor as well.

I like the hood on the new Cobra, but I'm not all that fond of the spoiler. It looks a little large. It would have looked better with a very small lip spoiler.
