Dude, I already have split and merged your post to the Shelby Mustang Cobra thread. The SVT Cobra and the Shelby Cobra are not the same car. Here is the thread for the Shelby Cobra:

So it looks like that above the GT Mustang, we will see an SVT car with 450-465 HP (this is a loose rumor really right now but it will happen, we just dont know the final specs) and a Shelby Cobra with 550HP possibly (the engine from the Ford GT).

2006 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Compact Coupe/Hatchback
What Edmunds.com Says:The 2006 SVT Cobra should satisfy even the most extreme performance enthusiasts
What We Know:Ford will be adding the next-generation SVT Cobra to its lineup in 2006 on a limited production basis. The company plans on pulling out all the stops in constructing this Mustang-based monster, with numerous performance enhancements. The engine, which will be augmented by a supercharger, should produce just over 400-horsepower while yielding almost 430-lbs.-ft. of torque. Transmission is manual, of course. The suspension and brakes are said to improve upon the '03 Cobra, and the vehicle will be further tweaked with 18-inch chrome wheels.

in regards to the 911, no. if Porsche brought the 60's or 70's bodystyles back and created the current model 911 from those - then, what you said would be applicable and accurate. the current 911 is very much so its own animal.

I like it! I'll take 465 stock horses for $35-40k anyday of the week! Just the fact that Ford is willing to make a heavy-duty automatic for that car is just absolutely exciting, I might have to look into this in '07.

I even doubt the Turbo IS300 will beat a stock 06 COBRA anyway if it uses the rumored de-tuned GT engine.

And what will happen if we turboed the Z06
For raw HP, dont even try... Nothing beats this country. Nothing even comes close. Two words. Top Fuel. And that's been happening for a million years now when Europe had Beetles moving people with 1.1 liter 25HP engines.

They both have their merits. ANyone trying to bring down any school of thought is not a true car enthusiast. They are fanatics.
