Yeah that's what I was wondering. This blower would give Ford a big bump.
Graphics look good
Cage looks good, finally got rid of that a- pillar bar.
Seats look like a road race car.
Is that 11 switches on the console? What is in this car?
For clone cars how much will that hood cost and was it necessary? Looks like the blower will clear a regular hood.
Wheels are interesting but hopefully not some odd backspacing. I've heard 2016 customers had trouble getting wheels because Ford used a custom backspace.
For$130k it should be amazing but it looks like it's catering to collectors more NHRA than racers. Has anything said it's NHRA legal? We'll see.

I see all those switches and immediately think about all the wires behind them. You'd think they'd go to a PDM with a CAN keypad.

I just got home from 1st day of qualifying at the Divisional at Pacific Raceway.

In reference to the wheels on the 2018 Cobra Jet. I looked at the rear wheels on Larry McLanahan's 2016 Mustang FS/A car and they look very similar in offset.

I didn't have a tape measure with me but visually they looked very close, so there you go. Maybe a 10 inch rim w/ 6.5 inch offset. I guess I stand corrected.

It's not a new Cobra Jet, but it's my bad *** Fun Car.LOL
These are the wheels that WELD Racing made for me, and they did a great job on the wheel off-set.
The rear wheels are 17X10 with 8 inch back space.
The front are 17x5 and clear front brakes with no mods.
