i'd bet not more than 10 on the v6, not more than 25 on the gt and not more than 40 on the cobra (if it's still around)
hopefully we'll get a factory special stang (mach 1, bullitt, boss, etc) around then too

If they go to the rumored Duratec 3.5 V6, then the V6 power level should be quite a bit higher than that. Closer to 240 or so. |

power isnt going to go any higher is my guess. with 3 bucks a gallon this summer, unless they figure out how to get a lot of power out of a car that does well on gas.

I think they are gonna pull a GM and figure out how to shutdown cylinders on the V8.
Maybe the Duratec for the V6. |

or maybe theyll realize people who buy powerful cars dont give a rats ass about mileage and just want balls to the wall power.

cmon now, when was the last time you heard of someone buying a sports/muscle car or anything of that sort for gas mileage? They have HP/Tq numbers memorized not the EPA's mileage in city/highway

I'm just predicting a couple of '03 Cobras will go up for sale in a few months or they will be parked in place of a 4cyl.
Not many people will be willing to spend a $100 every week to fill up. |

no way, if anyone sells their cobra due to gas prices, they didnt like the car enough and arent worthy of it anyways. seriously, if you sell your cobra cause of a weak reason like mileage, youre a fake ass flamer and probably just got the car to fit in with the rest of em.
most people that have a powerful car also have a shitty dd to get to and from work 90% of the time, and use the other for nice days, weekends, etc. thats the smartest way to do it, and you can find crap beaters for 1-2k(crx, for example) that get great mileage, and still are cheap enough not to hamper the money you spend on the nice car making it nicer.

look at past trends
V6:
98-99......40hp
04-05......20hp
GT:
95-96......20 or so by switching to the 4.6
98-99......40hp
04-05......40hp
so my guess is that the 6 will jump to 230 and the 8 will go to ~340 or so while the cobra (if around) will have 450-500
