05 Mustang GT vs. SRT-4 and 97 Cobra - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Let me ask now that this does not turn into an argument over what should have happened. Anything can happen so just sit back and enjoy...

The new Mustang appears to be quite a nice platform, and apparently responds well to mods, as shown above.

Hmm… either the new Mustangs are great to mod, or somebody doesn’t seem to be putting their foot all the way to the floor in the Cobra and SRT-4.
In any case, the new Mustang with exhaust sounds fantastic.

I’m not trying to start a war either…

Silverfc88 · 12-03-2005, 05:35 PM

Something just doesn't seem right, but looks like good kills to me. Doesn't seem like the other drivers know how to drive.

How well do the new Mustangs take on mods?

Yes indeed it does sound fantastic! I just got new exhaust on my 06.... SLP Loudmouth, sounds great! I think if I switch out the H pipe for an X pipe though it would be obnoxiously loud.

Ps... All Mustangs are great to mod, arent they?

The new mustang is very impressive. It builds alot of power w/ little mods. If they are tuned right, a bolt on GT will go low 12's....

Just some FYI - A 100% BONE stock 05 Gt w/ a Saleen Supercharger (roots blower) @ 5.5psi makes 430rwhp and 390rwtq

Cool.

How much power does a stock ’97 Cobra put down anyway? Just curious.

They are rated 305/300 from the factory at the crank, its a good motor,
281ci DOHC 32V

w/ full exhaust and intake it should make around 285rwhp

Nice mustang vid and fair kills. I think those drivers might not have been the greatest though.

I would definitely consider getting a new Mustang if I decided to go back to a V8 car. I raced one at Atco last night.

I ran a Bassani X-pipe with high flow cats with the stock cat back on my 99GT and it sounded mean. I got so many compliments on the sound of that car.

the cameraman for the video has an amazing cobra, too bad it wasnt in the video

1988 Olds · 12-03-2005, 07:10 PM

Stock 05' GT is good for 13.7s, 97' Cobras run high 13s and a SRT-4 runs 13.9 or 14.0 or slower so I'm going to have to say it's very fair.

And a hell of a lot cheaper to mod than SUbarus....I look forward to hearing how that exhaust sounds.

Saw a stock 05 run 13.4 at 104 last night

1988 Olds · 12-03-2005, 07:51 PM

Nice

97 Cobras take well to a 150 shot

Wow, 430 with just bolting on a blower! What about timing or tuning? Fuel? Anything???

How much does the new mustang weigh?

The video is fishy.

The list of Mods is pretty funny for the SRT-4.
Mopar Stage 3 (and then Some), exhaust, intake, greedy boost controller, 50 trim 63AR, Exhaust Side??

And then pulling on a Stage 3R SRT-4 like that.

I have a video of an 05 GT going 11's with I/H/E/Chip and gears. It was also on slicks.
