Default Shelby Gt500 Convertible at Detriot Auto Show.

Let me know what you think , but his numbers seem a little off to me, only 150 MPH top speed and I know this car does not have a live rear axle.

id believe the 150mph mark, could be due to gearing and drag limitations.

i have the car and driver right here
list price: est $44,000
crub weight: est 4000 (heavy SOB)
wheelbase: 107.1
track f/r: 62.8 in, 63in
length: 187.6in

comp 8.4:1
horsepower (sae) est 475 bhp @ 6000rpm
torque est 475lb-ft @ 3500 rpm
fuel dilivery sequential port
tranny 6 spd man

not righting out chassis and body cuz im lazy but expect stiff mac pherson goodness with a still shoft ride and god year f1 supercar tires

performance claims (FROM FORD)
0-60 4.5sec
0-1320 12.9 sec (sry guys no z06 killer here stock, made put her on slim fast and get the fat down)
top speed 155mph (electronically limited)
this was for the vertable i would love it due to the price tag and the little more wieght added to the rear for the top gives it a better 50/50 distribution all in all these guys loved it and for only 44grand u get a badass that with a pully, gears and stickys could get a z06 for much less than what that guy payed and seating for 4 ppl

Ford underrates all the Cobras. The old Cobra would do 0-60 in that time and run 12.7s stock. Trust me, this one will be capable of low 12s.

It is about 200 lbs heavier than the '03 '04 Cobra and it will probably dyno about what it is rated at just like the terminator cars did.
