[QUOTE="CobraRed01, post: 4776870, member: 11346"] I can see the Shelby GT500 being around for while as long as the price remains through-the-roof and all those cars sit on dealer lots collecting dust and in some cases, snow....lol. But, I hear you...if these cars come down to MSRP they are going to be wildly popular, but there might be a significant base Vette cross-over factor. We shall see. I still believe there is room for a non-Shelby Cobra return...unless some future Mach 1 fills the slot instead. (See below) You're right. Larger displacement aluminum block is exactly what I was thinking about and it's in development. Looking forward to seeing what they ultimately come up with. With respect to positioning and timing of new special editions and a Cobra the following might be reasonable... Mustang GT $ - (current retro and new design) Mach 1 or Bullitt $$ - (current retro design...makes most sense) SVT Cobra $$$ - (new design) GT350 initially $$$$$$$$, then $$$$ (anybody's guess on design) GT500 $$$$$ BOSS $$$$$$ (current retro design...and only 1,000 built???) As you can see there is a gap between the limited-edition, collector cars and the base GT which needs to be filled. Something will fill the gap...may not be a Cobra at all. Could be a series of limited releases of different cars. Anything with Shelby on it will remain at the top, except for a really limited run BOSS. Of course, this all assumes a healthy Ford. Just some food for thought. [/QUOTE]
