    Yup, I have the magazine, great issue overall too, with that road racing Chevelle, and the 243 mph Camaro.

    I did. I read the words, Pauls High Performance. the Ford Mustang DragStang comprises of Pauls High Performance parts. If you go to the Dragstang link on the exoticcarsite.com link, in the press release down the bottom, it gives a small media release blurb about the car.

    Simple bolts ons? It comes with 300hp. What exactly makes it noticably faster NA than a 03 390HP cobra? Oh wait I know, ridiculous slicks or ET streets.

    the 04 cobra weighs alomst 350 lbs more than the 05 GT, i would imagine that MIGHT have something to do with it.

    The 04 Cobra actually weighs less than 170 lbs more than the Mustang GT in either of its 2 trims.

    He was saying the 05 stang weighs 350 pounds less then the 04 cobra.
     
  15. #15 Th3 b0ng 1337, Dec 21, 2004
    right, and the cobra weighs about 3780
     
  16. #16 Th3 b0ng 1337, Dec 21, 2004

    The 03/04 Cobra weighs 3665 lbs. and I read the 05 GT weighs 3550. Put some "simple" bolt-on's on the Cobra and see what happens.

    Simple bolt ons such as low restriction intake, and custom headers and down pipes, which bring it up to nearly 300 hp at the rear wheels. What he didn't mention is that the car was also stripped out until in weighed not much more than 3100 lbs. I'll scan the article tomorrow.

    "Forgot to mention" or "didn't want to admit"?

    I don't think that's totally honest though. MM&FF dropped a 5.0 into the 11's leaving the 302 bone stock. Thats 225hp off the crank, if I recall.

    i see, proof of my mastery of the english language once again!

    You don't even really need bolt ons for the Cobra... just put a smaller pulley on it and reprogram it and gain an easy 70 horsepower.

    it had an adjustable suspension, 15" weld alumastars front and rear. and slicks from what i glanced over. and it was pretty bare. also had a set of lightweight brakes from baer i think it was.
