03-04 blower swap vids against 13-14s? Where you been the last 5 years? Been many over the years.
2020 GT500 vs. 2019 ZR1 ...Roll Race

Guess I worded that wrong. I meant I'd like to see some big blower 2003-2014 Cobras/GT500 running the 2020 GT500. See how much HP it'd take to be in the ball park.
Lets not forget this 5.2 smaller displacement vs the 6.2 Z is a beast, it takes some minor modifications to hit 900+ whp without breaking the bank. And as it stands now this DCT seems limitless around that power.
Thank God mods are cheap due to the cheap Coyote architecture because the bank was broke in half on initial purchase.

Stangmode traps 132-134.xxx call it 135. He has res deletes, and the lid pulled. No tune. Let’s assume 700whp.
An 03 cobra doesn’t need 700whp to trap 135. It does need comparatively waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more parts and competent build to do so reliably, and also have anything close to the same all around capability as a predator.
That said, an 03 cobra won’t even trap 130 with 700whp unless you do clutch, dyno tune, blower swap or turbo or nitrous, build or swap the rear, cooling mods, trans work basically rebuild stronger, racegas tune recommended, full return fuel system, oil system mods, drag radials or r888’s at a minimum. Don’t forget tensioner, belt setups, exhaust work, likely headers ceramic or jet hot coated to keep engine bay temps down, handheld programmer to swap tunes, gauges to know what the **** is going on, etc.
Then to try and have a well rounded trackable car, go ahead and throw a full front suspension from MM or Steeda or Griggs upfront and complement their respective rear kit with an FTBR irs kit, go ahead and get 18”+ light weight 19-20~lbs wheels, sticky front tires in a 285, 305+ reads, proper offsets, shaved it’s bolts, all new shocks front and rear, sway bars too, to help handling, and a 14” 4p or 6p brake kit up front with revised knuckles or at least a brakeman kit, redo entire rear brake system, brake cooling ducts, oil cooler custom, diff cooler custom, swap the Eaton diff for a fragile auburn and drive easy, or run a Detroit trutrac and Parnelli Jones it to rotate during lock, etc
Or buy a stock handling pack 2020 gt500, pull the lid, cut out the resonators, and install the handling pack goodies.
It’s easy to see why the right 03 cobra has yet to pull on a 2020 gt500, but mild basically stock 2020 gt500’s are hanging out with the heavy hitters well.
My 03 build is all done up save a big brake kit, and with 813whp on pump, I can trap low 140’s at 4500ft. Maybe a mid to high 140 in a perfect run.
Considering a 2020 gt500 needs a tune, lid removed, resonators pulled, and e85 to do the same, that’s damn impressive to me.
I don’t know what the Chevy world needs for 145-150 trap speeds, but I’m certainly content with fords predator setup
