Nope, Cobra IRS was 99-04 (breaks for 2000 and 2002 that didn't have Cobra models, but the Cobra R was produced in 2000 and that had IRS). You may be thinking of one of the other Cobra inovations, the DOHC 4.6L that was introduced in 1996.
The movie was Bullitt. Steve McQueen was just the star and I sold a perfect replica of that car in 1996.
have you been to a dealership of any kind lately?
The money people were wiling to pay for that car far exceeded the value of a poor handling, horrible braking car.
Wow! 412 horse power is so fast and furious. I think your GT is so nice.The new engines seem pretty sweet from what I've read. 412 hp in the GT. Anyone had a chance to drive one yet? Has anyone seen any show up at dealerships yet? I looked at the local dealership website and they said they had several in inventory but when I actually went to the dealer to look at one, there weren't any to be hadI think they never had any, just showing what they had on order...dirty tricks.
I feel sorry for what happen. I think you should find new engines. 
Bite your tongue!
Why did you change my post around on me? My comments were below that picture, and above the picture of the actual 10-11 cars (and refered to that, you had to see it when you edited it) If you want to quote quote me fine but if you want to add your own babble to a thread, don't do so in someone else's quote box.What is that thing?
This is what the '10-'11 cars look like...
Yuk!
I agree, it is a weak spot. They probably did it in the name of aerodynamics but I would prefer something like what they had on the 67-68 cars. It does give it an aggressive lunging ahead look, it is growing on me. Compared to the current style the 05-09's were almost too chunky for me.
Early foxbody's had 2.8's too. Dunno when they started or stopped putting them in but they were an option. There is almost more crap about them in my Foxbody Mustang Chiltons than the one for my Ranger...
They were not designed to be a family car. They were originally penned as a "secretary car". Someone that has a little more money and wants something that looks and drives nice but doesn't really care about all out performance. That changed slightly as they started bumping heads with the Camaro. It was/is a pony car and never really was a muscle car.
Well, what goes around, comes around. The Mustang from '05-10' have shared the same basic 4.0L with the Ranger. Now if they would start sharing the same new V-6!
Also comparing a 2011 engine to a plain 302 of about any year... right around the 400hp mark (where the new 5.0 is without touching a thing) pushrod 302's (that were doing really good to make 250hp from the factory) are known to split the factory block right down the middle.
That might make the pefect gas Ranger. Say a slightly remapped ECU for the Ranger 3.7 V6. 250 HP (don't need 300 hp in a Ranger!!!) and about 300 lb-ft of torque (you Do need that!) would be a good starting point.
I like that idea.
