More Additions[edit]
I went ahead and rewrote the article. I left on the cleanup and neutrality tags, because I'm not sure how well I covered those. Sully 23:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Additions[edit]
I added a concept car disclaimer and an automobile infobox. These are the first steps to cleaning up this article, but it will still require a lot of work. I'd like to rewrite the article (since, as previously noted, it's probably copied and pasted directly from Ford's website) but I don't have much information on the car yet.

Very opinionated article[edit]
I believe that all the text in this article is copied directly from the Ford Motor Company. Notice the lack of links in the article and the lack of external links at the bottom as well as the type of language used that seems to promote the company and the vehicle. I'm not against the Ford Motor Company in any way either, I actually own one of their cars. My question is how the hell did this one slip by? It sounds like it's straight from a brochure! Look at the comments underneath the pictures for crying out loud!
Jimbo would hang his head in shame at the quality of this article.
Yeah, seems like it was copied and pasted right from their website. gεиεяαιnonsensecomic 22:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Cobraengine.jpg[edit]
Image:Cobraengine.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

various critics[edit]
this does not into the section "engine"
- claims it is capable of reaching 185 miles per hour (298 km/h), though it is electronically limited to 100 mph (160 km/h).
Could we link to dry sump lubrication and "slide-plate throttle" to Throttle_body? I wonder, why F1 cars do not have side-plate throttles. Can we link Front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout?
this is called transaxle
- transmission (which is placed in the rear on the Cobra).
