Ford and Shelby combined their efforts and created a muscle car to rival any other. It is also the first one that the two have designed and produced since 1967 when they created the first Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 edition Mustang.

The original model was built with a big block V8, 7 liter engine that had the ability to produce 360 horsepower. It was only around for two years when it was replaced by the GT-500 King of the Road in 1969. But that hasnt stopped this muscle car from becoming one of the most valuable cars on the market.

The 2007 Ford Shelby Cobra was based on the redesign that was created and made the North American Car of the Year and the Canadian Car of the Year – the 2005 GT-500. Not only is this one of the most affordable Mustangs you will ever find it is also one of the fastest.

Underneath the hood of this 2007 model is a V8, 5.4 liter engine that has the ability tto push out 500 horsepower and 480 pound-ft of torque at 4,500 RPM. This engine is mated to a six speed manual transmission. Together they allow the Mustang to rev from 0 to 60 in 4.91 seconds.

It is available in two separate trims that include a coupe and powered soft top convertible. Standard to each model are leather seats, 500 watt sound system, and an in dash CD changer. It also comes with 18 machined aluminum wheels that have Goodyear F1 tires. Racing stripes run down the side of both models though customers have the option of removing these. But what would a Mustang be without these stripes?

As with every car that we look at one of the biggest things that we look for in a car is power, handling, and of course safety! Having power is great – but if it is not safe what good is it to us? It comes with traction control, anti lock disc brakes, and front seat mounted side air bags. The 2007 Ford Shelby Mustang Cobra received a five star rating for frontal crash test as well as a four star rating for side impact. These scores came from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
