Brian Wolfe and Ford Racing made the 2010 Cobra Jet program official today at the National Mustang Racing Association (NMRA) event at Milan Dragway. Brian announced plans to build a 2010 version of the popular Cobra Jet drag car.
Ford Racing will produce a limited run of 50 2010 Mustang Cobre Jets, the minimum number that must be produced to receive clearance from NHRA for competition. Exact specifications are being finalized, but the initial plan is for the 2010 Cobra Jet to have a nhra rated 425-hp 5.4-liter supercharged engine from the Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog, with an option to upgrade to an estimated 475-hp aluminum block engine.
The cars will also feature a 8.50 e.t. legal roll cage, light weight brakes and manual steering. If you are in the market for a Cobra Jet be prepared to scramble to get one. The 2008 CJ was sold out in a few hours to Ford Racing Parts dealers that placed an order as soon as the internal e-mail was received.
