2016 Cobra Jet Mustang Coming to SEMA

[DonatoEng]

At 150 mph + and a concrete wall next to you, might be glad those extra three tubes are there some day.

If you're scared call the law. But seriously I am much more concerned about one of these 150+ mph rockets hitting a car that, by rule, is not required to have ANY rollbar or cage and can run 20, 30 even 40 year old lap belts bolted thru possibly rusted floor boards. Now that is a concern, too many bars in the cobra jets doesn't worry me at all. Glad I dont have to crawl in and out of that mess.

Too many bars isn't always the best.

Sweet.

3390 lbs. shipping wt. divided by 565 factored h.p. = 6.000 lbs./hp

Your welcome, Jerry.

I guess the local chassis shop here is doing something right because I've seen numerous CJs in there getting the "factory" built cages cut out and replace with 25.3 cert cages.


Carry on...

The 16 Cobra Jet should be force to be reckoned with in the factory showdown. With a smaller pulley, larger valves, more lift and larger throttle body(not to mention the 4link) compared to the 13/14. Should be good to find that pesky red COPO of Arnetts that is crazy fast and packs a lot of HP.

565hp it will be packing some pounds compared to the 13 and 14 cars in regular competition. Of course I just focus on the stick cars lol at 500hp/525hp for the 13/14. (560 for the SS only pulley)

Isn't that to run below 8.5's? I have seen bone stock 14's run below 8.5's, maybe not at legal Factory Stock weight, but, still. Also, the cage was designed with a lot of FEA and simulation. May not look as sexy as some want, but, probably reasonably stiff and safe.
