All thats known so far is that its supercharged. Its just a shell for testing the Cobra's components. It will NOT look like that. When they made the C5 Corvette they used a camaro shell to test the Vette suspension and internals.

Ok, here is the deal. The back bumper has the tow hitch, for when they do the testing for how much weight car can haul. The little potrusions and whatnot across the bar on the tow hitch is to allow them to fully drain the gas tank, and refill it when they run different types of fuels. The reason they paint the rims black is because when they were crome, people would come and steal the rims from the cars as they sat overnight. The hood scoop on the front isnt really a hood scoop at all, they had to cut a hole into the hood in order for the supercharger to fit under there, it basically is just a plastic piece they had pop riveted onto the hood. The interior of the car had the diagnostic computer hooked up via a breadboard like setup which you see in one pic right behind the passenger seat. I could not get any photo's of the engine becuase the guy would not let me and I respected that since he let me get to see it. I unfortunatly did not get to drive it for liability reasons. However riding in it... was comparable to sex.

If I can afford the insurance by that time, I would love to get one. Or they have some GT-R Mustang that also looks really sick.

that gt-r mustang was a concept, and wasn't produced. but i think you can buy a good chunk of the parts from a ford racing catalogue
