Say it ain't so, Bill!

TheGT500Source.com has issued a release stating that the Cobra moniker will be dropped from the GT500 when it hits the streets, & that the next Cobra (geez, it's gonna be tough to stop saying that) will be named the "Mustang Shelby GT500".

Now, I'm a Cobra owner (wazzup '97 owners, w00t!) & I have to say, I'm sad to see the name get retired. I understand Ford doing this; the latest Mustang is ultra-retro, & they're going to ride the nostalgia wave until we're all sick of new/old cars. In the long run, heck yes, I still want one, though I'll always have a soft spot for the late-model Cobra.
