95M...they actually called it 'mood lighting'

That's probably the lighting package seen on the 08 Focus at NAIAS..
where theres lights under the dash etc to improve lighting. Also allows you to change it 8 different colours...

And nice to see HIDs as an option finally

Vapor is a silver if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Wishing4Cobra]

I think the mood lighting is pointless.. but i guess some people like it. Cant wait to see torch red and alloy metallic color with HID options and Nav. :thumbsup:

 

[chuckstang]

Are these 100% for real?
If so, sign me up for HID and mood lighting
Black stripes sounds awsome!!!!

 

[Randy Fontenot]

?-is HID-Lightning -an enclosed light as refering to the corvete.I'm not familiar with this.Sorry for me not being informed with it.Please explain it to me if you choose.

 

[Red Turtle]

852 WHITE STRIPE
854 WHITE STRIPE

wonder what the difference is?

 

[03SoCalCobra]

Well, that is a step in the right direction; I hope they lightened it up a little to compensate for the added junk in the trunk.

 

[cobracide]

How about an "available at MSRP" option? : )

 

[SID297]

This is making is that much harder for me not to buy one of these.

 

[wals9331]

I remember a time when the only option for a cobra was a spoiler and/or floor mats. Those were the days, :lol:

 

[FLYIN]

I was too lazy to click on the link. Good info and +1 on the available at MSRP option.

[ON D BIT]

i believe thats linked up to the option with brittle engine rods! also this is the option that will actually save money. it takes $231 off the price of the mustang gt500.oke:

50X 139lbs added to the back of the shelby(50/50 weight balance) and ford focus rods.

Now poor Chuck won't be able to sleep tonight!?! ;-)

 

[LR 01 Cobra]

From what I've been hearing the MSRP is going up very little! I hope thats true!

[chuckstang]

So can we take these options as FACT or are/can they change??

Also, what option on the 08s is going to add weight? NONE is the answer.

Hey, man-- I try! ;-) I want one too. Maybe now I will be able to. At least this will quiet those dealers who were claiming a 1-year only car. :rollseyes

I heard that too. Let's hope! :rockon:

Sheeit, options change during production. Who knows for sure? I'm betting these are pretty stable...


PS-- Did any one else hear about possible improvements in the interior?

 

[chuckstang]

If overall msrp goes up more than 1 or 2k count me out, this car is worth 40k like they originally intended it to be. I intend to spend no more than 45k otd with the options I want.
This is assuming the BS adms are gone as well.
