Nice car, but the dealers don't know anything of what's going on with in-coming cars. Ford themselves are messed up with transporting of these cars, dealers that think they are getting a car in a week won't see it for months, and some of the cars are "ghosts", where the dealer thinks they are getting it and they never see it at all!

I tried searching in Houston and the surrounding areas and could not find a cobra still new on a lot. I would not want a used Cobra though so it looks like I am still gonna wait it out and see what happens

the rear window vent shade is awesome. If they will not budge on the price, i'd get a 400hp LS2 GTO. The madability of that motor is ridiculous. Some vette owners are already making 500 plus horses with bolt ons.

on a side note, the GTO may be getting the LS7 500 hp motor in the form of the Judge, when the 07 redesign takes place.

I see several Mustangs on the lot at the Ford dealership near my house. Are they a different model?

Check how many recalls Ferrari has. The Ferrari 360 Modena alone had eight recalls and five in the first year in production.

Didn't they give the details for the new cobra in motor trend or something.

Its going to be called Ford Shelby Cobra, and it is supposed to have the same engine as the GT. The 5.4L Supercharged or whatever, they are aiming to beat the new ZO6.

The 2007 "shelby mustang cobra will replace the mustang svt cobra" - March Motor Trend

Supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 (same as GT), NO independent rear suspension, 550 horses
estimate 0-60 4 flat, 1/4 mile low 12s to high 11s

I didnt see anything about price.

I dunno about the new Cobra being faster then the C6 Z06, but it will most likely be a lot faster then the regular C6 Vette.

Interesting in the article they do mention that their "performance target" is the new Z06 and Viper. The 550HP rating could be underrated just like the current Cobra's are and could be making closer to 600HP. Only time will tell to see if the Cobra's really has what is takes.

Yup...I am really interested to see how much they will sell it for.
