Question guesses on race against 99-04 mustang w/96-98 cobra shortblock

bench-racing and taking any guesses on outcome?
this is in regards to this previous thread:
370z vs z28

my friend also has a 5sp 99-04 body style mustang gt but is running a 96-98 cobra block but with the 99 PI 2v heads? I don't know much about mustangs but that's what he told me. he's gauging on which is faster, his 370z or the mustang so me racing both will determine it lol.

anyone know what that combo runs in the 1/4 as well as whp? I checked on google but couldn't find much based on my word search criterias. do I stand a chance? I'm gonna try and get a vid of it but it'll be tough w/o passenger.

n/a 2v 4.6 liters are turds 99.9999% of the time

probably still be doing good to get out of the 14s unless I'm missing something

He did say he's running a 96-98 cobra shortblock in place of the 99-04 block which i found interesting.

could be hiding something, but taking a 4v block and putting 2v heads on it isn't really much of a gain other than I guess that block is a little lighter and a lot stronger

Hard to say. He's a straight forward guy. Did a few searching and the 96-98 cobra motors aka teksid worth
