Who really believes Ford will actually produce a 390HP 2003 Cobra?

I do.

After the much anticipated and extremely disappointing release of the Bullit does Ford really get it. The Bullit was touted to be a solid 275HP 4.6 yet barely hits 265HP.

Apples and Oranges comparison.
The Bullit is a special project, limited production car; the Cobra is a regular production model, although with somewhat limited production. A 10 HP difference is no huge deal.

Why did big blue wait until the Camaro and Firebird are being put out to pasture to release a "real" production 390HP Mustang.

Who cares?

Still scared of the LS1?

No.

I think it will be the same old crap, just like the Bullit.

Stop whining about what you don't even know yet. If you don't like the '03 Cobra, don't buy one. Problem solved.

Oh and let's not forget the 1999 Cobra and all of it's recalls required just to get it to it's factory stated 320HP rating.

Yeah, I'll sure never forget it. Keeps me awake nights, just remembering that terrible period in our lives.

Ford should have pulled thier head out of thier (.) years ago.

It spelled 'their' and what does that inane statement mean?

What do we do with a 390HP stang in 2003 when the bowties & birds are gone? Go out and humiliate a bunch of slammed Civics? Woo Hoo!

Gee, I dunno...enjoy driving it, maybe? Get real. You can't enjoy a 390 HP blown Cobra if you can't find a GM car to race? Please...spare me.

This is one big whine with almost no basis in fact. Lighten up.
