2010 Cobra Jet

Enlarge Photo

Back in June Ford Racing announced plans to produce a 2010 FR500CJ 'Cobra Jet' Mustang to continue the Cobra Jet program for the new refreshed model. The 2009 Cobra Jet model was so well received it sold out all 50 limited edition units before it was produced. I have a feeling Ford Racing is hoping for the same type of situation on this model.

As for the 2010 Cobra Jet it was recently out testing at Milan Dragway in Michigan. To our delight Ford Racing was kind enough to release photos of the 2010 Cobra Jet minus the graphics and finished interior. Under the hood is the same 5.4-liter V-8 from the previous year but this time a 3.4-liter Whipple supercharger sits atop ready to pump out more horses.

We still don't know the exact specifications for the 2010 Cobra Jet but back in June word was a 425 horsepower 5.4-liter V-8 powerplant was standard. To upgrade to an estimated 475 horsepower aluminum block engine was optional. A six-speed manual transmission will be standard for the Cobra Jet but an option to upgrade to a 5-speed Liberty manual transmission or a race prepped automatic trans is available. Also an 8.50et NHRA certified roll cage and lightweight racing brakes will be available as upgrades.

The 2010 Cobra Jet will make it's official debut at the SEMA show in November.

Photos are below along with a video of the 2010 Cobra Jet making a pass down the strip. Notice how loud the car is....oh..yeah.

I have a Mini Cooper that will smoke this thing. Typical Chickstang hype. Put it up against a real car like a ZR1.

You wear a helmet and go to the 'special class room" dont you Todd? You must cause you are so used to being on the short bus you even went out and got yourself a short car, That's so cute your Mom and Dad let you use the computer like a big boy. Get real you make remedial look fast. The only your little special ed car could beat this is if it was being pushed by a tweaked blown version of this car while the second stang was factory and going in reverse. You need to take your med's cause your delirious.
