Yes, it dyno'd at 274 stock and green, which isn't exactly underrated, but 15% driveline loss on 320 rated hp is 272, so I guess I got close. I'd like to have a power curve like an 04, but the 04s weren't out in 99.

Thanks for your interest.

Oh well. I'm pretty sure it will do very well at what most buyer's are expecting it to do. Go very fast at the drag strip. I think its a pretty sweet car for the money.

Unless I missed something, that's the car we are talking about.

Mmmm

Did I miss, sarcasm?

Isn't this Cobra the Shelby Mustang? Is there another Shelby Mustang I didn't know about?

LOL...yeah right, I bet they'll dyno in the 450-460RWHP range and with a couple grand in mods they'll probably put down close to 600 RWHP. It might be heavy but it will be a straight line monster that is probably way too much car for most people.

My guess is 425 whp, and with pulley, chip, intake & exhaust = 500-525 whp.

Somebody caught it being tested on the streets.

I honestly think the Manufacturers could care less anymore if their vehicle is spied on the street before release. Case in point, these were "caught" on the Vegas strip. That's about as public as it gets.

They don't exactly hide themselves well in AZ either.
