The Cobra-Jet is Back
 
http://www.dragzine.com/news/2013-co...now-available/


I love the cobra-jets I had a 69 Mach 1 428 C-J-shaker but with a C-6 Auto. That was great with 375 HP stock back in the day.

I wonder how many will be available

Whitelion95GT 03-22-2012 10:12 PM

From what I read only 50 Cobra Jets will be available.

That's actual Cobra Jet drag cars, which are just insanely fast. I think you'll be able to buy the engine itself too. And its got a whole lot more than the "375hp" Ford very conservatively rated the 428 at.

Yes alot more then the old 428. I think I read they are well over 500++hp & running in the 9s at 150mph

Vehicle Specs
Base Price $91,900
Engine 5.4-liter supercharged V-8
Horsepower 430 hp (base), 475 hp (with Whipple supercharger)
Torque Not available
Transmission 3-speed automatic (estimated)
0–60 mph Not available
Top Speed Not available

I think Ford might be telling a bit of a white lie here with those horsepower ratings.

The naturally aspirated engine will have an MSRP of $17,495, while the supercharged version of the engine will set you back $24,995
I read elsewhere that they are based off the GT500's Aluminum 5.4L and that is a 550hp engine, so in theory the 430hp n/a motor seems legit. But the supercharged engine seems a bit sandbagged at 475hp.

I think you are probably correct

SNAKEBITE 03-23-2012 08:13 PM

To clarify, I wonder what the MOTOR would cost a fella?
