Oh, and this is B.S. I had a friend with an 03 Cobra. We would race on the street and at the track. I'd beat him every time. Both our cars were stock. He had a manual also. I have the time slip to prove also. He ran a 11.94 and I ran a 11.39. Thats 1000 ft keep in mind. Would always beat him by at least a car everytime we raced. Didn't matter if it was from a dig or roll. Oh, and the Mustang can't even match the top end power the LS1 produces.
u sir, are an idiot. Mod for mod the terminator cobra, will beat the ls1 f-body.

Wait, the 4.6 better than the LS1. Come on. At most you might get 450 hp out of the Mustang's 4.6. And that's pushing it. The LS1 has gone over 550 to 600 hp and that's N/A. The only way a Ford will do that is with forced induction. The LSX give a person sooooo much more potential than the 4.6L Ford.
Despite being smaller in size and lower in compression, the 4.6L DOHC Cobra engine still made similar power to GM's LS1 engine, equipped in the Camaro Z28, SS, and the Pontiac Trans Am. While the SVT engine was of superior design to its' foreign competition, it was still lacking in power output and reasonably priced/easily done power upgrades (such as head and cam swaps) when compared to the GM Third Generation Small Block V8, which includes the LS1.

I guess I'm coming off as a F-body hater. Which isn't the case, I wanted one but can't get over the ugly dashes and exterior. Plus, the Mustang has a HUGE exterior aftermarket to play with. I'm watching for 2009 and 2014 as far as Camaro's and Stangs are concerned. I used to want a Terminator, but don't know if I want the same interior thats in my 96 GT. For me the real reason people drop LS1's in cars and not Modulars is of two reasons. Modulars probably don't fit in small areas like the LS's and LS's are cheaper to buy and build, while the modulars weigh 80 lbs or so more.
I wanted a 99 Corvette & 94 Viper for some time, but got over paying 25k to 33k for 5 to 8 year old cars.

funny that theyre comparing the bullit with a normal Z28...hence the mention of 245/50-16 tires which means z28 and not SS why didnt they compare that piece of slow **** bullit with an SS? better yet an SLP SS and evey mustang ive ever been in from 5.slow to 4.sux the interior makes me feel like im in a crack house with the cheap UGLY dash boards and all the cheap plastic. yes the f bodies have plastic but it isnt ALL plastic and it does not in one bit look as cheap and feel as cheap as a mustangs. was clearly a biased comparison. thats my .02

Biased posts aside, this is a N/A arguement - both are relatively close in power. However the Ls1 edges the mustang out, it's on the dyno and on the street. If you want to compare FI cars, that's a whole different ball game - and i hope no one is ignorant enough to say otherwise.
A supercharger is basicly extra displacement, so a 2.6 KB makes a stang what 7.2? Well with that kinda air getting pumped in i hope it makes great power, or i'm going to start driving a honda!

i love the look of my trans am. but i also love the sound of the blower whine and exhaust of the 03-04 Cobras.
wait a second....
why didnt you race the full 1/4 mile??
and you cnat compare a NA car to a FI car. The factors invovled are so mcuh more different.
wait a second....

yeah, and some idiot on wikipedia stated that camaro ss's came stock with 345 RWHP!! What an idiot! My WS6 dynoed at 302 rwhp, and i highly doubt that Camaro SS's are that much more powerful!
Another idiot stated that camaros and trans ams were in the price range of a mustang GT! Bogus statements!! The Gt's were a lot cheaper! Except the 2005 and newer ones, which i hate so much! I hope the new camaro's slaughter the new mustangs!

On the subject of whine...agreed, I can't beat it - every time i hear a KB i tear up. It's the most beautiful thing! Thinking of putting a low boost manga on my 6.0 LQ9, we always get greedy when it comes to power.....can't stop....
