I'm going to leave peak numbers and whittled down tenths off the 1/4 out of the equation, since anything can be made as fast as you want. What I enjoy about my Cobra is the big block torque feel at partial throttle/low rpms when just cruising around the streets. Maybe I have displacement envy with being stuck with these 4.6L motors we've had for so long, but I love the power without having to wind the motor up. I'm driving around with over 400lbs of tq at the wheels at 2000rpms, and that's the kind of fun I'm looking for.
