Last year Ford built a 40th anniversary 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang, which was a huge success. All 50-units were sold in just minutes.

At the SEMA show in Las Vegas Ford has unveiled the 2010 Cobra Jet Mustang, which marks the continued evolution of the CJ as a factory-produced turnkey race car.

In honor of the SEMA introduction, Ford Racing built and unveiled a one-of-a-kind “SEMA Special” silver Cobra Jet complete with a charcoal Cobra Jet graphics package.

The 2010 Cobra Jet, like its predecessor, is a factory-built race car that is intended for NHRA Stock and Super Stock racing.

The 2010 Cobra Jet comes with all of the features of the 2008 car with enhancements that include options for a full race-prepared automatic or manual transmission, drag race-specific shocks and springs, manual steering and brakes, 8.50 certified rollcage, and an Aeromitive return-style fuel system with trunk-mounted fuel cell.

Additionally Ford Racing engineers have developed for the 2010 Cobra Jet a factory-first launch control/rev limiter that will allow drivers to preset the rpm after they stage the car. When they are ready to leave, all they do is put the throttle pedal to the floor; they don’t have the engine speed to free rev. Previously, the launch control/rev limiter was only available as an aftermarket option.

Just like last year, the 50-unit production for the 2010 MY is all sold out. Base price was $77,000 and with the aluminum engine and all other possible options price climbed to $95,000.
