Ford and the Cobra R

[Unit 5302]

The Cobra R is a race car. Probably less forgiving than the 427 Cobra's. I think it's a joke and Ford never should have built it the way they did. At 55k you could build a regular Cobra that would look better, beat the crap out of it, and pamper you too.

The Cobra R is a dumb name as well. Why does Ford want to copy the import names? Why not resurrect Mach 1, or Boss?

Here's what I'd like to see.

Boss 4.6L
A DOHC 4.6L putting out 380hp redlining at 8000rpm, mated to a 6spd (that shifts), beefier axles, and some actual amenities and 4.10 gears along with top rubber and revised suspension.

Mach 1
A 5.4L DOHC putting out 450hp redlining at maybe 6500rpm mated to the above, but with 3.73's. Maybe instead of road race suspension, extra wide rubber in back and better launching stuff. I wanna see a low 12sec stang.
