[QUOTE="03yellow, post: 2058647, member: 19927"] I was getting excited about the 07 cobra until I read that the pistons will come from the GT program. The reason I purchased an 03 cobra was to add HP. My 00 GT was only able to handle another 100hp due to the piston and rings; the ring sits very high on the GTs pistion,thus it gets hot and folds.. when they fold they snap off the top of the piston. You can not put a lot of heat to a GT piston!!! If this is the case with the 07 cobra, the car will only be capable of another 100hp or so. At the rear wheels; this would amount to 520rwhp (at the most) with the stock internals. Thats great with a pulley swap and some mods but the car will not be able to handle an aftermarket blower and some boost! A pullied, ported, terminator would run with any modified 07 cobra, If you consider the added weight. Im excited about the Block on the 07cobra but if they put the GT style pistons in the car, I'm sure other" saving " changes will be made to the internals. On the GT these "savings" included weak, rods,springs and crank. If this is the direction of the 07 cobra I wouldnt assume that you could slap on a Whipple or a KB and have the fastest car in town. Actually, You will probally get left at the light by one of those older body style TERMINATORS!!! [/QUOTE]
