The 2001 (Only Cobra R was avalible in '00) Cobra makes about 280-290 stock on the high side. They make a little more than a stock LT1 M6.

Yea but the 03s and 04s, with a quick SC pulley change, is deep into the 400 RWHP range. I do not remember the stock RWHP dyno #s but Ford, after having had their hands slapped for exagerated advertised HP ratings, seems to be conservative with today's SAE Net FWHP #s.

Our dynos out here must be conservative to say the least. Ive seen about 6 different 03/04's dyno and they were at the 350-360 range stock. Could also be that we run 91 in Cali as well. One went to 370 but he had a CAI.

To get 420-430 they would def need a pulley change with the rest of the minor bolt-on's, I cant see that happening with just a cat back and a intake.

However, after the bolt-on's those numbers change real quick. I hate those damn things.

My 03 Cobra with a kenne bell cold air intake, accufab throttle body, 2.93 lightning pulley, catback exaust and tuned did 436 rwhp and 457 torq. Dont now what stock was though. I do still have the dyno sheet also. It also ran best of a 11.87 at 120 mph with a 2.2 60 foot at Fontana with stock tires. I did run it stock and the best I could get was a 12.7 at 111 mph. Car is gone now. Motor couldn't hold it and went at 20,000 miles. I had one of the bad one's I guess.

2000 Cobra R if I am not mistaken was High into the 300's, 2001 Cobra (g/f's brother got one) dyno'd 297rwhp/284rwtq i believe (Ford rated them 320hp/317tq) and 03-04 Cobra's ran between 360-380 on an average in both hp and tq.

supposed to be comin back in 07 w/ a SC 5.4L making 450hp or more so says a Mustang guru friend of mine. I know a guy w/ an 03 cobra w/ all those little mods and pulley swap and he put down 427rwhp and 442rwtq. Took me for a ride and i was throughly impressed( grinned the whole 12.0 seconds, he was on nitto DRs) esp. with that blower whine.

Sorry my friend, but you couldn't be more wrong here.

360rwhp - 390rwhp is the bone stock '03 Cobra range. Mine was in the 380's.
