2010 Mustang Cobra

[TehMac]

This looks pretty badass; the GT500 is getting the 5.4L V8 along with a limited slip differential, tightened suspension, and the profile is the same as the 2010 Mustang.

I am awestruck--and I want one!

Gorgeous car. I just came here to post an article on it too.

I'd love to own one. Hell, I'd love to just know someone who owns one and get a ride. :thumbsup:

How about a version with a NA 5.4L (~375 hp?) for around 30k?

 

[Tiamat]

wow, first ford that looks good (in a while)!

Screw that just give me a version with a 3.5l twin turbo pushing 415hp and a 6 speed manual for around $30k.

See? This is proof that women like a cool car, even if it doesn't steer too properly. :thumbsup:

Well you'll get that with the 2010 Mustang, possibly in summer '09.

I love the exterior. The interior, not so much.

3.5l is too small. That's a little over 210 cubes.

Mustangs need moar cubes!

What is wrong with the interior?

 

[Throckmorton]

Does it have that lame solid axle in the back?

 

[Elganja]

shelby gt500 != mustang cobra. The mustang cobra is dead...

The last Mustang Cobra there was the 03/04 model.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I like it!

Yes, no IRS.

Better straight line performance from a solid rear ya know........

I've never been a Mustang guy (drive a Vette) but this is a sharp looking ride. My main gripe with them is that they are usually HEAVY, making the high HP numbers not as impressive as they could be with a lighter car. I'm guessing this one is heavy too?

Regardless, if I'm ever rich enough and can afford more expensive toys I definitely wouldn't mind one of these. The blue/white combo is gorgeous.

Meh, you're mincing words.

It has the Cobra badge on it, plus the SVT badges on the wheels.

It's as good as a Cobra to me.

It's about two tonnes, nearly there. ~3,X90

Something like that.

It's pretty good, looks gorgeous, and sure it could be lighter, but I suppose that just isn't the point of muscle cars.

Yes, but it does have a limited slip differential; a real one, not the one the '08 SRT8 has.

disclaimer: The '09 SRT8 comes with a manual and real limited slip.

Yes. But it doesn't have the ignorance you do.

Looks even better with a mullet.

 

[ponyo]

I really like the look of the light blue with white stripes.

 

[heymrdj]

I have to change now..

don't you have some 240 to go wrench on?

 

[Fenixgoon]

looks fantastic :thumbsup:

maybe the progressive turn signals will grow on me. that's my only real gripe with the 2010 model so far.

Nothing more I hate than retro cars. Why not make a new legend instead of living off past glory?

From here:http://www.rsportscars.com/ford/2010-ford-shelby-gt500/

"Base Price: 2010 Ford Shelby GT500: Est. $45,000"

Give me a Modern Vette 40K and A&A Supercharger 5K = 600+HP road hugging whiplash performance over this any day.

I hate when people make this argument... you can take any POS, put a big motor in, supercharge it and make more power.

The fact it is you won't have a warranty and when motors aren't designed for a supercharger things can go wrong fast (or you will have to run so little PSI that it isn't worth it).
