The 2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Costs $130,000 and Is Loud As Hell
The 2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Costs $130,000 and Is Loud As Hell-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:13

There’s a new , now with 5.2 liters of engine in addition to its 3.0-liters of Whipple supercharger, powerful enough to send this thing down the quarter mile in the mid eights, as Ford declared this morning. It’s expensive, but it’s also exclusive.

Just 68 of these cars will be made, and sadly they are not street legal as they do not have a VIN. It would be a lot of work to produce a similar car yourself, what with ripping out the independent rear suspension and putting a live axle in there, getting the four-link with pan hard bars dialed along with new coilovers, stripping and caging the interior, and so on. Hell, you ever try to do a full-car vinyl? It’s work, man. Let Ford handle all that.

Our intrepid Jeeper David Tracy managed to make his way to the reveal of this thing and can confirm that it is stupendously loud.

This is more expensive than the last Cobra Jet, but it’s quicker than that car and has 200cc more displacement, so I begrudge not a single soul who ponies up for one of these, even if calling a Mustang a Cobra Jet is kind of like mixing your metaphors.

Formula Drift Returns To Irwindale Speedway, The Track That Refuses To Die
For years now, SoCal’s Irwindale Speedway has been stuck in a loop of closing then not closing then closing and not closing again. But now that we know Irwindale get bulldozed for a crappy shopping mall, will return to where it all began in America with FD’s first North American...

Having A Frozen F1 Track Almost To Yourself Is The Stuff Of Slippery Slidey Dreams
Formula One’s winter test day at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was snowed out this morning with no cars on course until the afternoon. For once, we’re not super jealous of the F1 drivers. Open cockpits are awfully drafty. Clearly, the driver sent to do reconnaissance laps had the better job...

Putting A Cupholder In My Race Car Is The Best Decision I've Ever Made
I am neither proud nor ashamed of my coffee habit. I learned to drive in the Seattle area as Starbucks was well on its way to world domination, so I knew from an early age that a cupholder is one of the bare necessities a car must have. Even my...

Max Attack Hillclimb Racer Somehow Keeps Going After Nearly Drifting Off The Hill
It’s one thing to hang a wheel in the dirt—it’s another thing entirely to take out the entire barrier marking the where the side of the road drops off in one dusty drift. And there it is. He saved it! He didn’t go off, or flip. He saved it. We’re...

Barrier-Breaking Ferrari Ace Christina Nielsen Now Gets Her Own Awesome Lego Set
If you scroll down the “Speed Champions” motorsports section of Lego’s online shop, you’ll see far more plastic facial hair than ponytails or lipstick outlines. The ones with feminine features don’t tend to be in the starring role as the driver. That’s until you get to a red Ferrari with...
