[QUOTE="Skywarp, post: 3008196, member: 21754"] The 03,04 Cobras were heavy cars too but the GT500 takes it to far thats the point. Instead of rectifying the problem it got worse. Lets say the 500 has a max safe rwhp number of 600. Just like the Terminator there are limits. The Terminators pistons are good to 600 and from what I've been seeing the 500 may have crappy rods that might limit capability also. So if both cars are equal in number at the rear tire and the 03,04 weighs less out of the box it can be lightened further. Remember the 03,04 has the IRS and can be swapped out for a lighter solid axle. Everybody seems to forget that. So its quite possible that a Terminator could tip the scales at 3500lbs give or take and still be quite competitive. With the 500 there's no such hope. [/QUOTE]
