[QUOTE="psucobra, post: 2036393, member: 10369"] Honestly, I dont see what all the excitement is about with 5.4 a twinscrew sc making 500hp. Arent 4.6's with twinscrew sc's making over 500hp at the wheels? If the new Cobra already comes with a twin screw (whipple) what does that do to the aftermarket? I hate to be the skeptic here but I think we are all going to be a little disappointed in the final HP numbers. I just dont see how Ford is going to get a 500hp regular production vehicle past the CAFE/Gas Gussler Laws. Its gonna take more than a little upshiift light. Just voicing my opinion here, but I think the PRODUCTION 06/07 SVT Cobra will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 425 HP and Shelbys around 450-500hp. If you listen closely to what they are saying at SVT, the new Cobra doesnt need to be this muscular HP beast. Its going to be more of a world class sports car, breaking cornering, ride quality, etc. My bet is that SVT is banking on selling this new cobra on the premise of being a world class sports car with a modest increase in HP and on the strength of the new platform. I hope Im wrong. Looking back at SVT over the years there has only been a modest increase in power with each change in body style. I think the same will hold true here. [/QUOTE]
