2008 Mustang Cobra Jet announced

The car dealers that get a hold of these things will probably put 20-30k price on top of the MSRP.

You got it Jeff, and most of these cars will end up in collections, not on race tracks.

It would be cheaper in the long run to "build" one of these cars vs. taking one of the real ones and converting it.

EXACTLY...and that's a crying shame. A good friends dad passed away a few years ago, and one of his sayings has always stuck in my mind:

"Never have a gun you can't shoot, a woman you can't make love to, or a car you can't drive..."

I don't know about collectors only. I'd be willing to bet if you had somebody like John Calvert call Ford, he would get one at cost. Maybe even less. I think a name and reputation will go a long way. Whether or not somebody like John would spend the money or not is another story. But I do suspect he's sold enough traction devices to afford one if he wants!

In your dreams Chrysler has no $$$ Ford barrowed 22 bil last year and GM no interest in Sportman racing so don't look for FREE cars from anyone. Press say's GM will have to barrow 8 to 10 billion to get through the end of year.

BOR,
Re-read my post. Nothing said about FREE...

Did anyone notice that it said these things were NHRA legal to 10 second ET.s ? I heard they were going to come with 6 point roll bars and the necessary safety stuff. You may have to put a good trans in it but the safety stuff is supposed to be there. How cool is that.
