2003 Mustang Cobra - Ford Forums

Have a look at this MotorTrend article.
390Hp Supercharged 4.6L V8 for US$35k and will be out mid-year. Good for high 12 sec 1/4s easy
I wonder if or when we'll be getting it? Maybe thats why the current Mustang is now sold at all dealerships? To clear the old stock for the new one?

Yeah it could be why they went national. I hope that these do make their way here though because it may have more horses underneath but it should still work out to be the same price as they are currently sold here.

Interesting to see they've gone back to the iron block 'cause the alloy one looks to have shat itself!
Very promising for the '04 Cobra then :s4

Still looks ugly, but at least its faster. For heaven's sake when are they gonna have a new look?? Interior still looks crap and cheap. Why did the aluminium block screw up??

I read somewhere, I don't know if it is official, that the alloy blocks were suffering from spider fractures after and extended period with the s/c.

Looking over some of the US Forums there has been reports that the hp rating is under-rated and is putting out closer to 425Hp....

Any chance of compressing the images or reducing the size, they are huge and the old dial up is strugling!
