This car would be SO cool...if it hadn't already been done better 40 years ago. Talk about a "...something else with a Cobra-shaped body on it". Actually, I like the car, but I think I'd like it a lot better if the designers made it look less like a Cobra and demonstrated a little originality. Not to mention that the Cobra name has been beaten half to death on all sorts of Mustangs already. Do the Ford designers really have so little imagination? Chrysler had the right idea with the Viper: pick a name that's evocative of another hyper-performance automobile and build something modern. Also, I think Ford execs would have to be nuts to sell a (rumored) 600HP little two-seater. I forsee a repeat of the 1960's, where everyone will want to take it for a ride to "see shat she'll do" and car salesmen and potential customers end up wrapped around trees and utility poles.
