Ford and the Cobra R

Just a point of order, the ZO6 was produced after all 300 R's were shipped out to the dealers. The R was never intended to compete with it.

I love the Cobra R, and make no excuses for doing so. I also don't make any excuses for it's down falls, of which it has many. I would love to see a base GT have the 4.6 DOHC, 320hp and I'd even settle for the 5 gear Tremmec.
The Cobra should have the Lightning motor, and a 6 speed, no questions asked. Then you have the Drag Pack Mustangs, a supercharged 3.8 V6 to start with(even the little ponies need some speed!). Then, bring back the GrandDaddy of them all, the Boss 429, with an 8000 redline. Add to that a 6# blower, and there you have it. Oh, and all 'Stangs should have the FR500 front end. It jsut makes so much sense, and don't cost any extra to do.

Sorry about my rant, but such is life. Later.
