Motor Trend tested the 2003 Cobra vert 0-60 in 4.9 sec. And tested the new Mustang GT coupe 0-60 in 4.9 sec. 2010 Shelby GT500 0-60 in 4.5.
The Cobra vert weighed in at 3780 lbs. The 2010 GT Coupe at 3572. 1/4 times were 13.1 for the '03 Cobra and 13.5 for the '10 GT.
The GT is only 200 lbs lighter than the Cobra, but lacks 75(!) HP but they run the same 0-60 sprint?? Lacking 200lbs can't make up 75HP, right!?
On a side note, I thought the 540-hp Shelby would be stronger than 4.5 to 60, right? For $50K??
Flame suit is on:burn:, but if my car didn't have a pulley/tune, and lined up next to a new GT, there is cause to be a tiny bit nervous??
Granted, this is only 1 magazine test I looked at, but I dunno....the 2010 GT can't be that good, can it??
