The big thing is that it will have a blower sitting on top. Horsepower will be 390. That puts it up in the M5 hunting catagory.
A 6 speed manual trans is also included in the package.
The block will be iron, not aluminum. The rods are forged and look really beefy.
Why didn't SVT do this before the demise of the Camaro and Firebird?
Let me guess, you're a car salesman. It's sad that you don't have to know about your own car lineup to sell them. I walked into a showroom month and a half ago to get a TSB taken care of. Wanted to see if they had an '03 Cobra in the showroom and got ambushed by roughly 3 or 4 salesman(I had to walk through the sales office to get to the showroom). I asked if they had any and all of them looked at me and proceeded to tell me that they were not even sure if Ford was gonna make those.....This was an SVT authorized dealer. Burt Arapahoe Ford in Denver, CO.
