Yes, they are heavy. Yes, they can easily make 700+rwhp with
limited mods. Big power is an easy way to overcome weight.

You don’t need H/C to pull those numbers, just a little spray. IMO the GT500 is one of the biggest disappointments ever.
How can it not be a huge disapointment when its not as fast as a supercharged 2001-2004 cobra, cost way more and its heavy as a big 4doors SRT8!!???....I would never hesitate between this GT500 and an early Cobra. On the looking side, the GT500 is a killer though...
I dont think it takes that much to an LS1 to bring that sucker down.

There was no cobra for 2002, and only the 03/04 cobras were supercharged. Sorry, I had to.

And the GT500 IS faster than the 03/04 Terminators by about 3 tenths given equal drivers.
Pulley/tune wheels, stickies away from mid tens @ full weight. Not bad.

BTW, just a little info on the OP's car. I actually ran him at LACR and never put up a loss to him, and this was in my 95 LT1 that had a halfway decent tune, LT's, mild cam and 4.10's. (a 320rwhp setup) I think I hit 13.8 @ 101 that day (altitude is a bitch! correction factor is e.t x 0.97) and I dont think he broke 14.0...
I KNOW for a fact that his car would not take down a GT500... I really doubt the guy in the Cobra was even in it, or maybe HE was the smart one and didnt try to weave through traffic..
None-the-less though, if you want his mods, I remember him telling me that it had a "built" trans (that was a pile of ****) and a SLP lid and SLP loudmouth exhaust.
He is cocky though, Ill give him that!!

As for the GT500s, Nothing against the car, or what not... But if I were to take the same amount of cash spent on a new GT500, and put it in a LS1 car.... Cmon, it wouldnt even be a close race.

**** that.... Termies rule, brother!

I fricken demolished this F430 in my Laser yesterday. He had a TT kit, because I heard a whistling sound. probably around a million HP.
We had been playing cat and mouse to the freeway, little jumps from 40-45, some time me ahead, sometimes him ahead. But when I got into the fast lane first and romped on it, I left him like 8 buslengths back with the slow traffic, which was also racing me.
Major ownage.

That motor is pretty sick, even compared to a 4.6 from a termie.

I remember seeing his car at Strictly shop .He had full exhaust 3.23 gearing and a tune.Unless Rob put heads and cam or FI it aint happening.Ford did really good with these motors.I can only Imagine if they had put it in a 3100-3300 pound car.I saw a magazine a while back that had a 95-97 Gt with the cobra motor.
