That beast will cost a pretty penny. Unobtainable for most.

Nice!!!! Not a big boost fan but nice —what kind of car guys don’t understand GM’s white and orange motif. Forgive my ignorance I don’t know who these guys are but lacking history for sure. But their dad’s explained split back to them or maybe their mom’s. Styling is a big improvement over the former.

20 years ago, when i bought one, the Mustang Cobra set the enthusiast world on fire because, with just a few relatively inexpensive mods, you could easily pull 500 horsepower.
It's absolutely mind blowing insanity that today, anyone can walk into a standard auto showroom and drive out with a car sporting upwards of 1000 horsepower, from the factory, with a warranty.

I remember those early days when you bought your Redfire vert with parchment interior, it was sweet Steve.

thanks Sean. that car was the first supercharged Cobra delivered in toronto. it had it's problems, but the first time i opened up the throttle, ...oh my!
the yellow one was a better car though and attracted a lot more attention. sometimes i regret selling it.

Wow, and all this performance on pump gas.
There's a pre-prod at GM currently with AWD and an electric motor added to this platform pushing out nearly 2000hp.

I love how they paid homage and included a split rear window. Very nice work... however, there's always a however - the exhaust note sounds like a beehive. The Z06 exhaust sounded WAY better.
Just because of that i wont be buying on LOL
