Ford Racing has recently unveiled 2010 Cobra Jet Mustang at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show which was held at Las Vegas, Nevada. The car is designed to be a factory-built race car intended for National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Stock and Super Stock Racing.

The car’s features are mostly based on the 2008 Mustang Cobra Jet, which was released last year. Ford decided to give a follow-up as the 2008 version was a huge success with all the units selling out well even before the production started. The 2010 predecessor is gradually proving its worth so this is not bad decision for the company.

The new Jet Mustang will have an impressive 5.4-liter V8 engine which is capable to deliver at 475 horsepower. However, the engines will come in different blocks. The base Cobra Jet will have its engine in cast iron block present in GT500 and ‘08 CJ while the Super Cobra Jet will have its engine in a lighter aluminum block material.  In addition to engine upgrades, all 2010 Cobra Jets will have the following improved features:

• Aeromotive return type system fuel system
• Fabricated aluminum intercooler tank (this is an improvement from the plastic tank)
• Fans to the intercooler to help control temperature
• Line locks to help avoid rear brake burnouts
• Fuse panel behind the glove box cover
• Full set of racing safety harnesses
• Fastened air bag for easy access

The new 2010 will have a price range from $77,000 to $95,000.  This car is obviously a hit to the racers as the 50 units have already been delivered to the dealers. For enthusiasts who missed purchasing the 50 units, Ford has promised to provide future versions of the Cobra Jet.
