Is the motor in the new cobra jet the same motor in the Shelby GT 500? Are the specs the same? The Shelby has a rating of 500hp and the cobra jet is 425. If this is the case how is this not cheating on Fords part. I was at my son's hockey practice last night and one of his teamate's father is an engineer at Ford. I jokingly asked him if he could get me one of the new cobra jets. He said "What is a cobra jet?"
I told him what it was and said it was built at Rousch and had the same motor as the GT 500 but was rated at 425 instead of 500. His comment was " Isn't that cheating"? I don't see any specs on the Shelby motor, maybe someone familiar with them could comment.
