Have picked up my new Cobra a bit over a week ago, and for all the disbelievers, it drives a whole heap better than any of the BA/BF GT’s I have driven in the past. At 400km on the odometer the engine is livening up quite nicely, and the R-Spec suspension handles just great. Cost was the quoted RRP + on-roads, and I ordered it in July 07. Thanks go to Dave at Centre Ford for looking after me.
I have to feel sorry for the people who paid dealer-inflated prices of $82K and $93K that I have heard about…
For the record, all 8 pot FPV’s built after Sept 07 on have the 302kW Boss motor, so the bonnet decals are correct. And I believe that McInerney’s in Morley have an Auto for sale if anyone is keen.

Hey Boss,

You could try http://www.dreamscience.eu/australila or http://www.fordmods.com They’re a couple of forums who’ll put you in touch with the right people.

Alternately give the guys at Castlemaine Rod Shop a call. They make a few kits (CRS Superchargers) for Holden & Ford themselves and I’m sure could steer you in the right direction.

Cheers Matt.

Hey Cobra045 …….you piked out last night!! Where were you!

David and Tara check to see if you have a MP3 adapter? Meant to be under the tissue box! Cobra045 says he has one……we don’t though! Maybe when they were replacing stripes they installed some cause we didn’t get mats! Apparently the R SPEC Phoons got them!

Hmm, The Matthew on here hates all V8, but the Matthew on the leaked images of the Orion FPV page has a grudge against Fords. Any way they have the same dum behavour.

This was reported on the Ford Forums today

“New Cobra written off in Queensland.
Somewhere on the Gympie Highway about an hour and a half ago, F350 up the bum and a truck in front.
Anyone heard about it?”

1 down 399 to go! Poor bloke! If true I wonder what number it was!Look out for a re- body,someone did the same with the 40th Anniversary when it was written off sold at action for $30,000 I think ……..not really sure though! Was getting re bodied,body works bought it I think!

apparently there is very little engine stock left at FPV and one there gone they will cease BF FPV production….

one reason why i think we will get a power increase in orion… why else would they run out engines?

Breeze is that light metallic teal colour… looks amazing!

What colour is breeze? I don’t think many will have them though,depending on how much longer we have to wait for the Orion……..you still hearing May next year?

Hey Tara……….yeah right ! Cause you would I don’t understand why brand new cars have to be put over the pits anyway,what a waste of time!

Cobra 045 I thought you were picking it up Today……..couldn’t wait ! Thought you may of had another weekend of distressing somewhere south in the new Prado!

Who told you it was a myth regarding the boss 302s?

By: Cobra045

Cobra045 — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 12:59:31 +0000

the last 400 GT’s are Cobras to clear the shells to make way for new model. Any non Cobra GT’s are old stock and have 290 motors.. its just a myth if you hear otherwise..

By: Cobra045

Cobra045 — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 12:58:04 +0000

for the record.. there will not be any normal BF GT’s with 302 Boss motors
