Default mods for the new cobras??
Anyone modding or know some good mods for the new Cobras?

My boss is looking at getting one and wants to know what he can do with it. He says that Ford claims to get 500 to the flywheel out of it.

You do mean the new GT500 right?
pulley, tune, exhaust are probably some of the best fairly cheap mods out for them. Oh... and some new, wider tires out back.

Tons of misinformation, and just teenage-like bickering back and forth. Just take what you find there with a pinch of salt.

They are 5.4's.

Like everyone else said bolt-ons, pulley and a tune not a chip and it should be plenty.

Cold air intake, cat back exhaust, smaller upper pulley, tune, and a small dry shot and the panties come off.
