S-197 Mustang History
In 2005, Ford came out with the all-new S-197 Ford Mustang. This Mustang had an all new platform, chassis, body, interior, exterior, and improved drivetrain. The V6 model was given a 4.0L V6 making 17 more hp, and the GT was given the powertrain based off of the 03-04 Mach 1, coming in at 300hp, 320lb./ft. tq.
For late 2006 / early 2007, Carroll Shelby again teams up with Ford to bring the Mustang enthusiast a new model Mustang. Shelby offers a new CS 6 Mustang, a 250bhp v6 model courtesy of a Paxton supercharger.
The speculated and long awaited for 2007 Shelby Cobra is set to debut in late 2006 under the work of Carroll Shelby and Ford Special Vehicles Team (SVT). With the most powerful Ford Mustang ever to be produced in the works of creation, this will surely be a beast of beasts in the car world, could it even compete with the new C6 Corvette?
