Just read what people have been getting after they had some time to get used to the car. From what I'm reading, the best stock time was 13.35 and the average time for most people is mid to high 13 second range
How can you seriously believe a 04 gt is evenly matched to a 05gt performance wise?
didn't you see the beginning of the thread, C&D ran a 15.1 in an 02 GT, therefore they are slow.Klay said:now magazines are the ultimate authority on how fast a car is?

hp2k5 said:Let me see... 23k for a 2005 Mustang GT deluxe. 4k to add a whippie S/C boosting it to well over 400 hp. That totals 27k for 450hp+ beast. Plus the styling cues of the 05 are comparable to the Stangs of the 60's.
Id think Id take the 05 Stang hands down in the 1/4 over mr rootus 390hp cobra that prolly costed him over 30k.
sawman70 said:First, your on crack if you think the whole shooting match will cost you 27K.
Second, my $24,500 Cobra cam off the used car lot with 455hp 483 ftlb at the wheels.
Third, My guess is Rootus is packing a bit more than 390hp.
Don't start this stupid pissing match again.
The drive train in the 03/04 Cobra is more than the 05 GT will ever be without removing and doing a complete build. Is it a better car? To some yes, to some no. They are both phenominal in my eyes and hopefully to all on this site.
The two vehicles are way too different to be compared and the issue should die here to avoid any 3 week deluge of mine is bigger than yours crap.
I'll say this much. It's always the 05 guys who whip theirs out first. Keep it your pants where it belongs.

hp2k5 said:I see....
Now, back to the topic at hand. Not only does the 05 gt auto have 60 more hp but it is also a 5 speed tranny. Even a not so good driver such as our "magazine" drivers should be able to turn consitent 13.7s in the 1/4.
hp2k5 said:I see....
This topic was declared dead by the forum moderater. You also insulted another stangnet member with your unecesary "crack" comment. Thats two forum rules broken. What does it take for people like this to be banned or at least warned ???
zero3mach1dsg said:i'm still waiting to know where is this 60hp difference
tylers65 said:First, I never said it was dead, I simply requested it get back on subject.
Second, If I read this correctly, it states that he feels you are smoking crack only if you think that the 2005 Mustang can be purchased and modded to perform as well as an 03/04 Cobra for $27K
I will play along for a brief moment.
Lets say I went to my local for dealership and by some miracle I was able to convince them that I should get the car for $23K.
In Washington state, there is an 8.9% sales tax. This brings the total to $25,047, then you have to ad licensing. I will be nice and call it $250. Now I have paid $25297. I have no idea what destination charges are, but they usually hang around $500 making the cost $25797.
So we are nearing the $26000 mark.
In order for the 05 to get to the level an 03/04 Cobra, one would have to spend roughly $4000 for a Supercharger. $29797. SCT would have to custom flash the computer $325 now it cost $30122, lots of air in means lots of air out. Add about $600 for exhaust upgrades (again being nice), $30722. More air needs more fuel add $100 percylinder for new injectors $31522.
Should I keep going????
If I ad tax to all of these items, I come up with $32031.52
This is just to get the 2005 on par with the 03/04 Cobra in a straight line.
If you want the 6 speed gear box, open the wallet up nice and wide. IRS, Forged internals, the ability to make 600 RWHP without changing the engine internals, these will all cost you.
As far as being on crack...
Some people articulate themselves differently than others. It is not your job to tell me who I should or should not ban and for what reason. He never said you are smoking crack, he suggested that one would have to be smoking crack in order to believe the statements you made. Now that I have put the numbers in black and white, I would have to agree with him.
Now, let's leave the whole Cobra thing out of this.
The questions seems to have been answered, the 05 GT A/T is faster that the 04 GT A/T.
Any other questions?
sawman70 said:Again, the 05 infants prove my point for me. Belittling the Cobra and somehow bringing the 04 GT to 05 GT descussion to a full fledged Cobra bashing seminar. I love it. There is much more to the Cobra than just the motor and for some, it is a special car.
04 GT vs 05 GT. Doesn't seem like much of a contest to me any way, if it was, Ford would have failed.

That makes me better.
You can't have them. They are the only pair.
See, I can argue like a child too.
