Ford Debuts The 2018 Mustang Cobra Jet

Ford Debuts The 2018 Mustang Cobra Jet

This weekend on the Woodward Dream Cruise Ford released a car likely to run into the low 8 second range in competition. This makes it the fastest Cobra Jet to date on the 50th anniversary of the program. 

Eric Cin, the global director of Ford's Performance Parts was quoted “From the very first Mustang Cobra Jets dominating the 1968 NHRA Winternationals to our modern-day racers, the Ford Performance Parts team continues to build on Cobra Jet’s success at the track over five decades. This has inspired generations of Mustang fans to create their own performance machines for the street.”

The specs on this beauty are impressive. It has a 5.2 liter V8 topped with a 3 liter Whipple supercharger. Combined with a racing automatic transmission and a heavy duty 9" differential with adjustable racing suspension and you have a car capable of fully delivering all that power directly into the track. It also features lightweight brakes, a streamlined and aerodynamic body and the standard racing safety features and you have a car capable of hitting the track straight from the factory. 

Unfortunately the Cobra Jet isn't street legal. It's sold with a serial number and a bill of sale instead of a VIN and title so it can never be registered, but you can still have a car capable of competing against the likes of the Chevy Camero COPO and the Dodge Challenger Drag Pak.

If you happen to get your hands on one, feel free to bring it down to Island Fender here in Honolulu, HI. We'd love to check it out!
