I have a better idea...
Let's take an '01 Cobra and an '01 WS6. Stock, the cobra loses. Conversation over. It isn't fair to compare the '03 Cobra to an earlier year F-Body. This conversation is nothing more than a conflict of opinions. Besides, a Fox-body mustang hasn't been considered 'late-model' for a decade. A 351C isn't difficult to fab-up mounts for. You just have to take the measurements right, and cut the metal right. Look a powerful NA engine is a good thing. I'm not saying FI engines are BAD, just another, viable method of tuning that I prefer to stay away from. That's it. I don't want to argue with you guys, just state a couple viable alternatives to the "'03 Cobra is god" lines you mustang fanboys spout off like scripture. Meh. Have it your way...
