Let's not unbury this hatchet
Well Ive beaten a couple in mine,so.....

For having around 40 more hp, they typically do not trap much higher. 1 or 2 mph difference which can easily be gained or lost by the driver.
I thought we were talking about street racing. Only driver ability and trap speed matters on the street.The trap speed really doesn't tell the entire story on this one though. That 1-3mph difference in a car that’s that much heavier tells me there’s a lot more going on under the hood that we give them credit for. The power band of the 3V is far broader than the one with the 2V and will best it at any RPM.....especially near the upper ranges of the tach.
I was surprised when I took my first S197 for a drive last year. It was stock as a rock with about 12,000km on it and although it hand no where near the bottom and mid range torque my Cougar had, I'm sure it would have hung with it on a highway pass. No stock or even modest bolt on 2V GT I have ever driven, or been in has made me doubt my car at any point before.
Those 3V heads really make efficient use of the paltry 4.6L's that Ford gave us to work with.
Not if we want to keep this thread open, we aren't.I thought we were talking about street racing?

I dont know about all these sources. S197 = 123lbs more than sn95 new edge.
Ok I know we were talking GTs but I found this video of someone testing a Shelby GT500 against a 03 Cobra. Its not a bad video and shows the difference between the new and old same basically equipped cars.

LOL - I with ya bro - have no fear, the Mach is here.
your mach and a stock mach are two very different things. I'd love for you to serve me my own ass just so i could breathe in the yummy 4V fumes as you dust me View attachment 312388I wish I could even get a race with an S197. Everytime I come across one its usually a 45+ year old lady driving & they dont even look over....
Im very confident my Mach will win....
I actually got in a huge argument in a thread about this same topic a few months back. Thats what CorbaRed was referring too earlier.
