    Happy anniversary Shelby Cobra GT500KR.

    Looks like a nice car. And it's got the performance to back it up!

    Methinks Ford is going overboard a bit with all the special edition mustangs. There's like 20 now!

    Don't get me wrong, but isn't that a Ford GT engine in a more practical, cheaper bodyshell...?

    Nice one, Ford. I do actually like it.

    However, I prefer the original for now.

    :

    The GT 500 uses the cast iron block from the F-150 to save cost and help achieve its incredible 2 ton curb weight. Vs the GT's Aluminum block.

    Other than that I'm pretty sure the heads and supercharger are the same.

    Ancient technology (solid rear axle) with modern technology does not mix, unless you like the ancient technology kind.

    I like it. Red with white stripes would look better however.

    Cheap-ish rear driven power is always good.

    The engines arent even close to being the same. Different rods, the blower is not a twin screw, and the pistons are different as well im pretty sure. The FGT engine is capable of over 1100rwhp on STOCK everything!

    PS The GT500 has a solid axle to cut costs. Alot of previous generation cobras had the IRS swapped out for a solid as well.

    Not impressed.

    I don't expect it to perform any better than a GT500 either, and to weigh just as much.

    I would like to see this Mustang go into production. Looks pretty close to the original. Do anyone of you reckon this can beat the Roush Stage 3 Mustang?
