>>Ok, the '93 Cobra Mustang (5000 produced) will have...

>>1. Distinctive Spoilers/Badges.  The prototype has a running horse in
>>the grill!
 
Similiar to the front of the late 80's (88-89) Rousch(sp?) Twin Turbo ?
( Custom built mustang with a 351 windsor and twin turbo chargers.  Said to 
be more than a match for any ZR-1 )

>*What* grill?  The Mustang GT doesn't have one.  The LX5.0 has a small
>one, though...

>>2.  Very nice looking 7.5 X 17" turbine wheels wearing 245/45ZR17's.
>>The wheels look like they may be uni-directional to draw cooling air
>>into the breaks, but I can't tell, since They (Super Ford) only have
>>pictures of the left side.

>Ye gods...they've gone mad.  I love it.

>BTW, where the hell do you get "Super Ford" magazine from?  I can't find
>*anyone* around here (Houston) who carries it.  It sounds like it's a
>magazine worth getting, and I'm interested in getting a subscription to
>it if it's not too much...

>>3.  Tighter springs, bigger anti roll bars, better shocks and struts,
>>which have been partially developed with Jackie Stewart and Bob
>>Bondurant.

>Excellent.  I always thought they should stuff the thickest anti-
>roll bars the could find in the Mustangs...:-)

>Are they going to put subframe connectors or the equivalent in, to
>prevent body flexing?

Probably not !  They always seem to forget these !

>>4.  Complete GT40 engine package, better fuel pump, 24 lb/hr
>>injecters...  should be good for at least 270 hp.

>Ah, yes.  The meat of the package.

Awesome !!!

>>5.  Rear disk breaks!!!

>*Now* I'm envious.

About time !!!

>>Overall it looks and sounds mean enough to make the best of the blue
>>bowties very nervous!  They are also making a Boss truck with a GT40ized
>>351.  Should be an exciting year!

>Yeah, I should say so!

>Looks like I got my GT a year too early...:-(

>Fortunately for me, I can put *all* that stuff on mine with aftermarket
>parts, and perhaps do a slightly better job of it.  :-)

>THE MUSCLECAR ERA IS BACK!!!!!!

Guess Its finally time to say goodby to my '79 Cobra 5.0 and move on to 
newer and better models !!! 
   ( now that there is one that sounds like fun )

>I wonder if it'll be long before we see the rise of the big-block
>again.  :-)

Take a look at GM and Chrysler.  My guess is that Ford will hop on the wagon 
before long.
