COBRA JET CONCEPT

When the original Cobra Jet debuted at the 1968 Winternational’s it ushered in a new era of production-based drag racing that grew the sport and led to Bob Tasca coining the phrase “win on Sunday, sell on Monday”. This production-based philosophy led to the return of the Cobra Jet in 2008, and has proven successful with 2010, 2012 and 2013 Cobra Jet programs delivering previously unheard of performance at race tracks around the country.

Wrapped in our global Ford Racing colors, the Twin Turbo Cobra Jet Concept mates the capability of the 5.0L TiVCT engine with the technology of Ford’s turbocharger programs to create a vehicle capable of championship level performance to give our racers the winning edge. With more NHRA records and wins than any other late-model vehicle, the Cobra Jet is the standard in production drag racing and the Twin Turbo concept provides a glimpse of what the future may hold through Ford Racing.

Others may build race cars, at Ford Racing we engineer a Cobra Jet. Go Ford!"

POWERED BY FORD

Ford Racing extends beyond the Ford display at SEMA. As the premier choice for Ford power and Mustang performance parts you can find Ford Racing on projects and in booths throughout the show.

Here are a handful of the exciting vehicles to be shown at SEMA that are Powered by Ford Racing!

Summit Racing Factory Five Roadster

Powered by the Ford Racing 427 short block M-6009-427F along with Ford Racing transmission, brakes, and differential, this Factory Five Roadster seeks perfection in paint and assembly. Showcased in the Sherwin Williams booth you could consider both the powertrain and the paint "flawless".

Street Rodder Road Tour ’40

Every year the Street Rodder road tour builds a new hot rod and immediately goes on “tour” with it, travelling across the country for the better part of the summer and fall. Logging tens of thousands of miles annually puts reliability as a critical measure of the tour’s success. Ford Racing has powered a number of Road Tour cars with excellent drivability, power, reliability, and fuel economy. This year’s 1940 Ford built by Troy Ladd of Hollywood Hot Rods is no exception. Already with nearly 20,000 miles logged the 5.0L M-6007-M50 powered street rod is poised for many more years of trouble free service and tire-frying power.

Ring Brothers 2013 Mustang GT

Known world-wide for their trendsetting resto-mod vintage Mustangs, the Ring Brothers are taking their classic artistry to a new canvas, the 2013 Mustang GT. Packed with unique design cues and one-off construction the build also features a Ford Racing brake duct kit, M-2004-MBA and rear seat delete kit with X-brace, M-6346612-A.

Vaughn Gittin's Falken Mustang GT

Falken Tire has put together a beautiful 2013 5.0 Mustang, which will be given away to one lucky winner! This car was designed with input by Team Falken Drift Drivers, Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Justin Pawlak. The car features many Ford Racing Performance Parts... some of which include a Ford Racing Supercharger System, a Ford Racing Adjustable Suspension Kit, and a Ford Racing Exhaust System. These mechanical/performance upgrades were performed by GTR High Performance.

The car was then treated to the super paint-job that you see. This PPG "HotLine Green" paint was applied by the folks at Creations n' Chrome. The sweet-looking 20" HRE wheels are wrapped by the newly designed Falken FK453 tires. Thanks to all of the other folks that also came-together to build and sponsor this beautiful Mustang that you see here!
