i sure as hell hope so and it's about 15-18k cheaper then the 06 zo6 also my dad get a disocunt through ford since his brother use to work at the plant in Michigan
i dont know about that weight you quoted. The car and driver or whatever i read said it would be heavier than a gt which was already 3500 lbs and they said they put a straight axle in the car to cut costs. I think they're going to have to cut a lot of corners to make that car anywhere close to the last year cobras, and wont be as good of a bang for the buck in my opinion. I dont think the car is definately going to be made yet, and the article said that they were going after the zo6. Seeing as the zo6 is a track car though i dont really see the logic. Plus the zo6 is lighter and has better aerodynamics, but i dont want to start another one of these long *** threads about how one is better than the other so until it's for sure to be production it's just another concept car. I think it's funny that they said they're going after the new zo6 with that car.

I think it will be even cheaper than 15-18k less. The new Z06 is probably going to go for mid $60s, and I'll assume the new Cobra won't exceed $35-40k(MAX). If it goes beyond that, I'll never buy a new car again.

OK... the motor is going to be the 5.4 w/ a eaton on it... same setup as the Ford GT EXCEPT the pully is bigger so it will make a little less than 500 horses.
it will have a dished pistons, forged internals(built just like the 03-04's were). It is going to be a runner, and they are still trying to keep it in b/t 35,000-38,000 msrp for the hardtops

Wow. That is a sharp looking snake!

- 465HP, 6-speed manual running in the low 12's with a trap speed of 120mph!
- You choose the rear suspension set up, either IRS or Solid Rear Axle with the IRS apparently pulling over 1.0g in the corners...
- The Price... in and around 30k.
Motor: 5.4 Supercharged, 3 valve heads (with HUGE valves), forged internals similar to the 4.6 (Crank, rods, etc), modestly rated (under rated actually) ~465 HP/495 lb ft Torque, using a twin screw S/C similar to that on the Ford GT but pullied differently, hence the lower HP. This motor was supposedly made official (in house only) just in the last few days.
Transmissions: 6 speed manuals standard with a heavy duty 5 speed auto (the tranny used on the Ford Superduty but programmed/geared differently) as an option in late '07 or the '08 M/Y.
Suspensions: A re-engineered, heavy duty IRS will be an option with a modified 3 link/panhard bar-live axle setup as the standard rear axle. SVT will be going for the Road Race buyer as well as the straight line racer with both axles optional. However, the Axle options are not set in stone as of the moment but look highly likely to be approved. The Cobra will be lowered about 1.5" from a stock GT.
Bodywork: The retro theme will continue with a serious nod to the '67 Shelby. The fenders may be flared more than the standard '05 but that is not for certain as of now. The ducktail will be factory installed. Also, no convertible is planned for now but no reason was given other than concerns over chassis reliability due to the torque volume.

That would be a helluva deal- I just don't see it going for less than $35 though.

I won't be buying one...LOL! Just like the current Cobras, they weigh too much! Nothing worse than wasting horsepower on extra weight, not to mention it hurts braking and handling. I'll be looking for the new C6 Z06, now that has a killer power to weight ratio! 
Hmm, my car is for sale, and basically spoken for....wonder what I'll get next? Look at the picture above and use your imagination....
I used to be a die in the wool Ford guy. Now I'm no longer brand specific. If Ford does indeed build this awesome car I'll probably be first in line to buy one!
