I agree. I have a SPEC Stage 3 in my 98 and I LOVE it.

Totaly different heads, cams, block material, crank, fuel system, the 03/04 Blocks are completely different than ours other than external deminsions and bore and stroke.

WTF are you talking about? First of all these cars have been proven to be underrated. These motors have been making an average of 275-280 RWHP after their broken in. That’s right about 70-71hp/l (this hp/l comparo is a ricers argument though and it's totally BS) What N/A ride in Europe has...

How can you compare them. They’re close to if not more than 10K more than the GT. I disagree. The guy has been a hater on American cars every time he reviews something. He's bitched about the vettes shifter, he bitched about the GT's gas mileage after they were in ot at near full throttle...

God I hate that little prick. The dude is such a S&It talker and he driver a Range Rover. Like he should talk. He fails to understand the concept of a Pony/Muscle Car. For instance the live rear axle….It’s what us Mustang owners asked for!!! If it’s not an IRS it’s no good according to him...

WTF????? I had 3:73 in my 98 for a LONG time and my speedo was right dead on with the speedo gear swap. Anything over 4:10 and you will need a speedcal which is a cheap 80 bucks (great unit because you can adjust for different size rims and tires and gears to make your speedo dead on) or get a...

Don't forget about th source. BON isn't exactly accurate or trustworthy. Lets see if any other media outlets cover it.

] The Cobras got more hp, more tq, better curve, geared better AND is lighter than the GTO unless your driving a vert 03/04 Cobra. Then their about equal in weight. 03/04 Cobras will still slaughter the 05 GTO's.

Running in the 12's with mine with the mods listed below... :nice:

Are you sure it was a Mach 1? C&D did a compare against the RX8, the G35 and the 03 Cobra and gave the RX8 the win, the cobra 2nd and the G35 3rd. I was shocked. The Cobra beat every one in nearly every category. Rx8 had better skid pad and slalom and “emergency lane change” speeds but...

MMFF did some SOHC tests in their sept 04 issue. They got over 401fwhp and 389fwtq with it running 10:1 C/R, some minor head work, Comp Cams and Accufab TB. I’m willing to bet if you ran the same mods on a 99/01 Cobra motor you would be at least hitting 450-475. And btw these cams weren't...

Correct me if I'm wrong here but...weren't the DOHC 4.6's at 9.85:1? Yes but I was refering to the LS1 powered Fbodies. A 340-350 fwhp DOHC motor will run right with a LS1. Most LS1's only make roghly 340-350fwhp. This was my point exactly. That would put the Cobra right at or around the...

You just made my day :nice:

I'm talking about NA Cobra motors, not the 03/04's.

I disagree I have never lost to a LT1 when I was stock. The LS1 motors were where GM pulled ahead in 1998 and at the time was only the most advanced pushrod motor ever developed. These 4.6’s are capable of running the same numbers as LS motors. Take my example from earlier…Take a LS1 and a...

Yea sure that’s why the 5.4L Cobra R motor in real world numbers made over 400hp at the crank when GM's top production V8 made similar numbers at 5.7L and now the LS2 had to bump up it's displacement to run 400 with no problems.....at least no problems so far. And don't bother trying to use...

Gears fix that real quick. :hail2:

Whats cool about the current sales (although it’s only been about 8 weeks of them) is that 45% of the units sold so far have been the GT. Ford from what I have heard is having trouble keeping up with the GT model orders!!!

Besides guys we are seeing 280+RWHP dynos on stock M5 GT’s. That would indicate hp levels of roughly 330fwhp. So Ford underrated these cars and we know it’s as simple as a tune to get these cars at or very close to 300 RWHP without doing anything else.

Please note that I only added up my power adders. Pullies 140.00 Intake 275.00 Chip and tune 300.00 MAF 300.00 LT's 350.00 Mid pipe 140.00 Flow master (not really giving me any power if anything their takeing it away)80.00 Comes out to 1585. Not really off the wall prices for these...
