Good news, if the 435HP of your 2015 Mustang GT just isn\u2019t enough, Ford Racing has unveiled a solution: Another 165 horses to give that pony the real power she needs. Last week at SEMA we got a look at just the exterior, but it\u2019s what\u2019s underneath that we\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n

With the 600+HP from the King Cobra package, almost two seconds are knocked off the quarter-mile time to 10.97. Spend a few pennies and the kit gets you the Drag, Handling, and Super Packs.<\/p>\n

The Drag Pack swaps out half shafts for heavy duty ones, includes a rear subframe kit and high performance bushings, allowing the King Cobra to dig in on hard acceleration and increasing control.<\/p>\n

With the Handling Pack come lower springs, bringing the car and its center of gravity down about an inch; the front springs are on pre-assembled struts. Rear shocks and stabilizer bar kit are also included.<\/p>\n

The hot Super Pack includes a 2.3L belt-driven supercharger, co-designed with ROUSH, fuel rail and high flow injectors, electronic throttle body, air inlet system, air-to-liquid intercooling system, topped off with a computer calibration.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only been a week since the reveal, with no price released yet, but Ford is just dangling those parts in front of us. King Cobra has a long association with high performance vehicles and this one should be no exception.<\/p>\n
