Cheaper and rarer than a GT - and no BS 2 year deal.

Customers can order now at an MSRP of $130,000. It's also important to note that the production is limited to just 68 cars, in honor of Cobra Jet's 1968 debut.

At least the Ford GT is street legal.  For the street legal version of the 5.2 L supercharged Cobra Jet, I will wait for the release of the 2019 GT500.   8)

Don , that's going to be a very interestingly vehicle.

It's nice BUT...if it is a Cobra Jet it should have a 428 CJ. Just another marketing ploy.

I'm sure it's a neat piece.
But Ford has been making them for years.
I have the CJ intake on my 302-S

Product identification. You just sprinkle "COBRA, COBRA, COBRA" all over the place and hope it gets noticed?

Marketing people get paid big bucks. They are supposed to climb into your head subliminally but there is just no way this car is subtle?

I actually do like it, but the wheelie bars in my neighborhood would wind up on some 12 year olds bike.

That's like comparing a New York steak to a Big Mac... Both have beef, but that's where the comparison ends. ;D

It works - figured out yet why they paid Ole Shel 12 million to use his name to market the 2005 SVT Mustang? Guess their research told them using GT500 and CS as a pitchman would sell more cars.
