2006 Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 Preview

Building the 2006 Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500 is really a no-brainer for Ford. The 2005 Mustang has been a huge success so far, so much so that the company has had to ramp up production. And both SVT and Shelby fans are numerous and anxiously awaiting the arrival of new products. And with the only real muscle car competitor being the 400-horsepower Pontiac GTO, Ford's got plenty of room to play with their Mustang lineup, and that includes adding the Shelby Cobra GT500. As long as Ford doesn't misstate power ratings as they've done with past Cobra models, the company will likely have little trouble selling as many as they choose to build.

About Thom Blackett
Thom Blackett joined Autobytel in 2000 as a Research Analyst with the company's data division, Automotive Information Center (AIC). After four years of pouring through press kits searching for minute details, Thom jumped to Autobytel's editorial team. Born and raised in the state of Maine (no, it's not part of Canada and yes, the proper pronunciation of lobster is "lobstah"), Thom has always been a car nut, using his grandmother's potholders as steering wheels to "drive" around the house as a youngster. His biggest sorrow is never getting to know his grandfather's 1959 Caddy, or the '62 Impala Convertible and '69 Chevy Malibu that his parents once owned. As Autobytel's Road Test Editor, Thom strives to write articles that serve to inform as well as entertain. A proud member of the Motor Press Guild, Thom holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine. Comments may be emailed to thomb@autobytel.com.
