New Cobra Jet?

So I've been getting these emails from Ford Racing about how they are bringing back the Cobra Jet, I guess its supposed to be making its debut soon. Has anyone else heard any more about this?

Hmm, I'm not sure if that is something worth getting too excited about.

A very detuned GT500 engine? What is the point? I be excited if it used a GT500 engine, other than that, I take my Foxbody.

I guess they are using a detuned GT500 motor to keep costs down. Also I wonder what kind of suspensions and other "tricks" they might throw in for a drag racing package from the factory.

Seeing that the goal is to build these cars for certain classes of drag racing, anything more than a detuned GT500 motor might not make it applicable for these classes. Someone might know more about this....

If not, your only a good tune, blower pulley away from fun!
