overall the Rosh stage 3 is a better car than the GT500, may not be as fast, but is a better driver than that heavy ass gt500..

Why not look in the GT500 forum? Sticker is in around $45000 but they are selling for more than that in most places. However with a Kenne Bell they are over 700HP monsters at a reasonable boost level. All of this has been gone over in the other forum. The Roush Stage 3 is as fast as a GT500 for around the same price, but the Roush is a 4.6L that is pushing the boundry for that block and the GT500 has alot more room to grow. There is video of Bruce with his GT500 at Road America in the other forum as well. They were doing the track testing on the Roush at our track events (That is a Stage 3 Roush in the background being tested by a Roush engineer.)

I'm not sure of the 1 of 1 2005 cobra as said above. Maybe you can post a picture of it.

The only thing close to a cobra is the shelby gt500? Other supercharged s197's are the roush, saleen, parnelli saleen, and stallion. Their are possibly other companies that produced s/c stangs. Also I know carroll shelby's v6 turbocharged mustang??

How about this one,

"Launching next spring, the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR model features a 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 with a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack that boosts engine output to an estimated 540 horsepower.

Produced in a limited edition of 1,000 units, the Shelby GT500KR coupe comes with a custom carbon composite hood with scoops and stainless steel twist-down hood pins, a lower front air dam with chrome-trimmed functional brake ducts and large 14-inch Brembo front brakes. The suspension has been modified with an emphasis on race-inspired handling.

Drawing inspiration from the classic 1968 KR model, the Shelby GT500KR also features 40 th Anniversary exterior badging, unique striping and a distinctive interior with Carroll Shelby-signature embroidered seats and a 40 th Anniversary numbered dash plaque."

How much is the '08 Shelby GT500KR going to cost? I hope it's not over $100,000. LOL.
With only 1k units coming out I wouldn't doubt it will hit that mark on at least one of them.

2004 Cobra MSRP- $35,200 for coupe and $39,575 for convertible

2005-2006 was an SVT void

2007 GT500 MSRP- $40,930 for coupe and $45,755 for convertible
The coupe weights 3,920 lbs. while the vert weights 4,040 lbs. (heaviest mustang ever!)

2008 GT500 KR is not a direct Ford offering, it will follow the Shelby GT Mustang and be converted by Shelby in Las Vegas. 540hp is what it's rated at and MSRP will be above the $50k mark.
