2007 Shelby Cobra GT Car Review Exerpts
from Ultimatemachine.com
A
production version of the GT500 went on sale in 2006, continuing
the high-performance lineage of the SVT Mustang Cobra model
line. It will be followed by a steady stream of performance
products developed by SVT, possibly including a version of the
production-intent Sport Trac Adrenalin, the industry's first
performance sport-utility truck. The production GT500 will be
the first in a string of specialty Mustangs that SVT will help
deliver. This will create Ford Motor Company's – and one
of the industry's – broadest product portfolio, stretching
from under $20,000 for the V-6 Mustang coupe to the 450-plus-horsepower
GT500, each offering performance and value. The GT500 and the
production-intent Sport Trac Adrenalin teaser accelerate the
wave of momentum at SVT since the launch of the 2005 Ford GT
supercar. SVT also now will develop non-SVT branded Ford Division
performance vehicles – including heritage-based performance
Mustangs in the spirit of the 2001 Bullitt GT and 2003 Mach
1 – as it becomes more directly integrated into Ford's
mainstream product development process.
Just
as the original Shelby GT500 was the ''step up'' to big-block
power from the GT350, the new Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 steps
up to Ford's 5.4-liter ''MOD'' V-8. The result? The GT500 is
the most powerful factory Mustang ever. Its supercharged 5.4-liter,
32-valve V-8 evolves from SVT's experience with supercharging
the MOD engine to deliver more than 450 horsepower and 450 foot-pounds
of torque. The cast-iron-block, four-valve engine is force-fed
an air-and-fuel mixture via a screw-type supercharger at 8.5
pounds per square inch of boost. Aluminum cylinder heads, piston
rings and bearings sourced from the Ford GT program bring a
high level of proven durability to the drivetrain, while upgraded
cooling components promise longevity. ''Powered by SVT'' camshaft
covers are the finishing touch to the engine.
