ford seems to be testing engines quite in excess of 450 hp.
weight distribution is quite improved; suspension designs are still in the works, and angluar momentum is down. but dont expect 'vette' performance anywhere but the straights, and old fassioned american muscle fun.
along with a huge upgrade in power, engine noise is said to be spectacular

i have read some roumors on the net stating carol shelby is working on the next Cobra. this is quite surely not the case :roll:

Especially if they put a V8 in a Ford GT, and then a V10 in a mustang... like WTF! All I have to say is "you better not even think of it Ford..."

i dont at all agree...... REMOTELY...

the 351 hasnt been made since the early 80s if my memory serves... the 330 is the largest production gasoline engine they make... nothing wrong with 427 cubes

Well they do make a Gasoline 5.8 which is rated at 351ci Saleen still uses it actually

there was a SN95 boss that ran for a while, not production, but a idea car, just a mule. like a 10.0 V8.

i have seen the video of the v-10 its not a bad car.
anyways, ford is currently developing the hurricane engine and a v-10. the next cobra (if they decide to keep the name) most likely will not be super charged. probably around 450 N/A

i always love seeing false informations

but at the same time...
why would they decide to throw away a great name? because of Carol Shelby? bah!

543 is the name of what they are appearing to like

5.4 liters
3 valve heads

supercharger?

around 450 N/A

450 if you are light on the throttle
