Ford delivers 2012 Mustang Cobra Jet racers, lays claim to quickest production car [w/video] — Autoblog
For those who dont want to click the link:

We're all for an event that culminates with the serving of cake, especially when the sweet stuff is delivered in tandem with supercharged Mustang coupes built especially for drag racing. Ford recently threw a party at the Auto Alliance Mustang factory in Flat Rock, MI to celebrate the official delivery of its new 2012 Mustang Cobra Jet, a vehicle that the company proudly maintains is quickest accelerating production vehicle ever made. When pressed, Ford tells us the CJ will do a 60-foot launch in 1.3 seconds and the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds. We asked about a 0-60 mph time, but we were reminded that measurement is pretty meaningless in drag racing.

Cobra Jet buyers from all over came from as far away as Calgary, Alberta and Puerto Rico to participate in the ceremony and take delivery of their new racecars, and we're betting they would have made the trek even without the sheet cake. All attendees signed a 2012 Mustang Cobra Jet hood that will later be placed on the walls of the production facility.

The asterisk by those performance numbers is, of course, that the Cobra Jet isn't street legal, it's an out-of-the-box drag racing solution for anyone not interested in taking years to engineer and refine their own racer. New for 2012 is an aluminum-block 5.4-liter V8, a modified suspension, low-drag racing brakes, new black anodized wheels and a stickier set of Goodyear racing slicks. The Cobra Jet can be had with your choice of a 2.3-liter TVS supercharger or a 4.0-liter Ford Racing Whipple supercharger.

th superchargers help the 5.4-liter V8 power out at a National Hot Rod Association-compliant 425 horsepower, though the boosted mills can be tweaked to output hundreds more ponies without much fuss. Owners of the 2010 model year Cobra Jet told us that the TVS unit will cruise through a quarter mile in under 10 seconds, while the Whipple version will cross the finish line in under nine seconds.

The sold-out 2012 Cobra Jet starts at $91,990, with a fully loaded Cobra Jet coming in at $103,980. That sounds expensive, but Cobra Jet owners tell us that it's cheaper than a do-it-yourself project delivering the same results.

 

My local Ford dealer had one that was colored white about 6 months ago. I'm guessing that it was a 2011. The owner of the dealership can get his hands on all of the toys - He's had 2 Cobra KRs 1 vert and one coupe, he had a Ford GT and I wouldn't put it past him that he will be getting a new Boss.

 

wow thats a heck of a collection. lol

 

Spartan interior win.

 

Sweet cobra jet. Can I drive it? I promise I'll be very gentle with it.

Okay, maybe I won't.

 

Hi `Jon,
Thanks 4 finding/sharing & starting a thread to let member's know what HOT Rides are out there...It's a very expensive toy for those that have the Funds $'s 2 have `fun...
It's only a Dream Ride 4 me, but I'd love to test drive one 4-Sure....

1 BADDAZZ Mustang 4-Sure

 

Whipple powered!!!

 

I'm going to be straight up honest... that's an ugly car. I'd take a ZL-1 Corvette for that price.... and I'm a Ford guy!!! Fast, fun, and that sounds like a good car collection you mentioned above.... but I wouldn't have one of these cars. For that price, you could just about have one of the old 428-429 Cobra Jet cars from the 60's perfectly restored too. Wouldn't be nearly as fast or even as reliable as this new one, just saying though....

I guess it has that nitch for the drag racing market... it will be a tough car to beat on teh strip I'm sure. It definitely wasn't built with the road in mind. Probably wasn't built with much looks in mind.

I'd just take a Mustang GT and be happy with the 350-400 hp whatever it is.... I'm getting old and mellow here... I'm only 21 too!

 

I'd rather have the 1964 Ford Thunderbolt stuffed a 427 V-8. Then I'd have enough money left to buy a 2007 SS 303hp Monte...

 

Not a fan really. . . . having said that, anything that comes stock with drag slicks must be pretty legit
