GTM Performance Engineering stage 2 600hp supercharger kits line-up press release

NYBladeZ

The 03/04 Cobra ran 12.9 out of the box. There are stock Z's doing that on here. Considering the Cobra makes 390hp/390tq out of the box the real weakness is in its IRS. Even with the whipple you'll make the #'s but you'll never put it down. You would have to swap out to a 2004 Mustang GT solid axle to get consistent traction. Of course if you do so you lose the little handling capabilities the IRS gave the 03/04 cobra. Undoubtedly a great car, 4.6L cast iron factory S/C but it won't be able to run with an S/C stg2 Z. Now if you want to talk about price and bang for the buck that's kind of dumb considering you're talking about a car almost 10 years old, of course the aftermarket is dirt cheap even by mustang standards now. The 03/04 Cobra is heavy, handles poorly and has nothing going for it except that engine which has been eclipsed by the new 5.0. Time to move on man, I was on the verge of getting a Cobra before the Z but I can't live in the past. 17K if not paid in full, will lead to an upside down auto loan, which blows!

Thank you, lol I didn't wanna be the one to tell him that

He didn't tell me anything and you weren't going to either. Thinking the Z is superior to the Cobra when taking into the consideration of the time difference of their production and technologies at the time is fool hardy. Look at the Z you had in production at that time....a 350z that couldn't outrun a mustang GT from that same era.

I bought my z cause it has suede ( a form of suede I guess), cause it's got power seats, steering wheel controls . What I'm getting at is it has options, it's refined. That stuff costs money it's not just straight power it's a refined power. There's more to a car then just a 1/4 mile time so don't come in here saying we are all crazy for paying what we do. My Roomate has a 06 gto , I could argue with muscle heads all day
