The Next Cobra Mustang Needs A 427!

70 pounds lighter than a 5.4...Maybe there is a possibility of V10 Mustang.


---------- "Witness the Ford 427. This possible future model has a rather conservative sedan shell and, as its name suggests, 427 cu. in. of Detroit muscle in the form of a DOHC V10 with 590 hp and 509 ft.-lb. of torque. Inside the engine you'll find forged pistons, modified aluminum 4-valve-per-cylinder Mustang Cobra R heads, billet rods and crank, and hollow-stem valves. Impressively, it weighs 70 pounds less than the 5.4-liter V8 in the Cobra R."

But will Ford put a 500+ hp engine in any car if the GT-40's is only

500hp? Kind of violates that GM thing that says the Vette has to always be king of the horsepower hill in their stable. From all I've heard, the new Cobra will have about 430hp while the Shelby, if it sees production "may" have 600hp and will cost more than a Viper.
