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...




wow your posts just keep getting more and more ridiculous...well then since to you its not fair to compare an '03 to an '01,then let's compare an '04 cobra to an '04 f-body,oh oops i forgot they don't make them anymore then how about an '04 cobra to an '04 gto,then the gto loses.conversation over......

and now since when is a fox body not considered a late model? maybe it is an earlier late model,but they have always been,and still are reffered to as late models...at the car show i was in last month the winner of best late model,was a mineral grey fox body.... oh but i forgot according to you fox bodies haven't been reffered to as late models for a decade...

i also never said it was all that difficult to fab up mounts for a 351c,i said that it would probably be the worst choice as far as cost and extra work...why bother fabbing up mounts,custom headers,and tons more little details to put in an engine that has far less aftermarket parts than a comparable windsor...and a windsor based build would fit right in and have more options to build a cost effective high hp n/a motor...

sure building a n/a motor with high hp #'s is great,but there is only so much you can get out of a n/a motor,and some form of f/i will be necessary...that's why most of the fastest cars in the world are using some form of f/i....also with f/i you get driveability....build you up a high compression n/a motor and tell me how streetable it is,and how good of mileage you get....now take a comparable f/i setup it will be driveable,and still probably pull down 20+ mpg....so again tell me why f/i is so bad...

i also never said the '03 cobra was god...just that its fast stock,and can be easily,and cheaply modded with simple bolt ons to make well over 400 hp to the wheels...by the way ugotbit i would love to see some more pics. of your cobra,i saw your engine pics. in the other thread...my cousin has an '04 that i've had the pleasure of driving a couple of times,and let's just say i didn't want to let go of the wheel...lol...
