2012 Mustang Cobra Jet First Info

It's been quite a year for ponies and muscle cars, with a blend of success and utter lack of interest from consumers affecting this segment of the market. What you can always bet on though in this segment is consistency. Ponies are for car lovers, and they will never die, regardless of what happens to the industry.

That being said, how about some 2012 Mustang Cobra Jet? After all, we have a bunch of leaked info about the model to tell you about. Now, keep in mind though that the below features of the 2012 Cobra Jet have been leaked by a, from all places, a Puerto Rican Ford dealership, so...

The 2012 Cobra Jet will feature a 5.4l supercharged engine with a few tweaks which will allow it to develop 430 horsepower. Linked to it will be a 3-speed C4 Auto Race transmission. The unit is hoped to put the car in the quarter mid-8 range when using the 4.0l supercharger option for drag racing (available for $9,995).
