The 2010 Ford King Cobra SCJ engine

[hemi68charger]

During my trip Wed. to visit a gentleman North of Houston to view a '70 426 Hemi drivetrain, I caught my eye on this engine.. Man oh Man... Ford has got their ^&%# together.. This thing was impressive. Apparently the SCJ is a VERY low production car. This particular guy owns a dealership and he bought a brand new King Cobra in white just to yank the motor to put it in another race car he's setting up for the track.. Pretty impressive to say the least.....

When it came to choosing a muscle car, the Charger came first and a machine like this was a very close second  (not to that extreme though)

Dodge just needs to get their sh!t together and be like other auto manufacturers...        like Toyota with their TRD -  You can go buy a brand new Toyota Tacoma...   sign the paperwork, walk to the next room and check off "Supercharger" -  dealer installs and warranties the work ---   

I am waiting for Dodge to have a factory supercharger 6.1L option on the Challenger and Charger.

I would be surprised to see anything this cool come from Dodge.  And with the government owning Chrysler, and pushing their green agenda, something like this Mustang is frowned upon.  Ford was wise to sell and lease everything they owned to avoid being owned by the government.  I was not sure it would work, but they have rebounded in sales plus some.

They were introduced in 2008.

The 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang joins Ford Racing's stable of championship-capable customer Mustangs: the Mustang FR500S, the Mustang FR500C and the Mustang FR500GT. All are turnkey cars available via the Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog and through Ford dealers.

The FR500 series of Mustangs are race-ready cars, designed by Ford Racing engineers for performance-conscious customers, that can be rolled right off of a truck and win in competition. The Cobra Jet, as delivered, will be able to run in the 10-second range and be competitive as is, just like its sister car, the Mustang FR500C. The FR500C was unloaded for customers at the 2005 Grand-Am Rolex Series opening race in Daytona on a Wednesday, won the race on Friday and went on to secure a championship that first season.

And just like the Ford Mustang FR500S, the Cobra Jet Mustang will get its start at the Auto Alliance International (AAI) assembly plant in Flat Rock, Mich., before being sent to a Ford supplier to have additional parts installed and for final prep.

All of the additional parts and pieces for the CJ can be found in the Ford Performance Parts catalog. And since the Cobra Jet is produced from a base V-6 Mustang, any consumer can turn their Mustang into a Cobra Jet by purchasing the parts from the Ford Performance Parts catalog.

The car features a 400-hp 5.4-liter supercharged engine with a standard 6-speed manual transmission, automatic optional, and a drag race wheel/tire combination. The Cobra Jet is NHRA-legal to 10.00 second ETs and has an NHRA Stock Eliminator legal interior and is approximately 3,300 lbs. The car will also showcase a unique trim and appearance design and include an optional 2008 Cobra Jet graphics kit to distinguish itself.

The price of the 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang is $69,900. All 50 of the initial 2008 model vehicles have already been ordered by Ford dealers for delivery to customers. For those customers who miss out on the first run, there's no worry, as Ford Racing has set a goal to provide future versions of the Cobra Jet.

The problem with Dodge is it treats EVERY Challenger like it's gold-plated platinum. What they should have done is what Ford has done: make a crapload of affordable base-model V6 and V8 pony cars and then a smaller number of high-end, high horsepower collectibles.

Jon @ Tube Chassis had a couple of these in his shop when I was there 2-3 weeks ago. AMAZING machines, to say the least. I got some pictures but was asked not to post them.
