First of all, GTOs come factory with 400. Second of all, that can be fixed very easily with the same mods as the cobra. Third, Fox-bodies are lighter. Fourth, Trans Ams are easily modified to 400+horsepower for the budget in mind. I don't know what crack you must be smokin' to think that a 20K Cobra+mod money is cheaper and faster than an 8K WS6 with 12K in mods. WTF? Plus I won't respect the Mustang again until they make some NA power. I know it is nothing more than a different way of accomplishing tuning, but I for one prefer ALL-ENGINE power to just slapping on a blower.

Nice Cobra by the way.

do you own either car????????have you even driven either car????????if not then stfu with your nonsense....like he said before a cobra with intake and exhaust will easily make 400 or more hp TO THE WHEELS....the '05 gto('04 only has 350 hp btw)makes 400 hp AT THE CRANK......with nothing more than a pulley upgrade the cobra will make well over 400 AT THE WHEELS.....since you want to compare apples to oranges(like your $8k ta with $12k in mods)take your beloved gto which costs more than an '03 cobra and put the difference in the cobra and it will destroy the gto...actually though stock for stock the cobra is equally as fast and costs less....

the guy with the '03 cobra was reffering to modding the cars with the same amount of money(not comparing purchase price which is ridiculous)take a ls1 camaro and an '03 cobra,and give each owner $500 to spend on mods....the cobra will destroy the ls1 every time.....hell the ls1 would probably only be just as fast or maybe even slower with $500 in mods and the cobra left stock....

if you want to really compare by purchase price,i'll buy a $3k mustang,and use the $5k difference in mods and kill the ta,so your point is meaningless.......

and you whine about the cobra being supercharged....big deal......so your saying something like an evo,or sti for example aren't any good either because they rely on a turbo for power
