[QUOTE="68gtscode, post: 16850412, member: 71404"] I also apologize for hijacking the OP’s thread! That said, I’m happy to provide some insights on the GT500 vs Cobra comment… I should start by mentioning I had an 09 GT500. I would actually like to have a 13/14 GT500. Anyhow, I had AED do some fairly mild mods to both my Cobra and then my GT500. They did a 2.3 Whipple on my Cobra, which made 630 rwhp on Sunoco 260 GT, which is what I drove it on most of the time. It could pass CA emissions and drove 100% stock. It made 21 pounds on the hit and was really fun to drive on the street with the T56! At that power level it just worked really well. I sold it to buy the GT500, which I also sent to AED for a Whipple 2.9. It made 730 rwhp on 93 with long tubes, etc. It also had nice manners but felt very large and was really heavy. The Whipple 2.9 doesn’t reach max boost on the hit like the 2.3, but instead tends to build a bit with rpm. It just seemed really big, heavy, and kind of lazy on the street. I put 4.10s in it which helped. It would spin drag radials at about 100 mph on a cool morning when coming up on boost, but it wasn’t as fun to drive as the Cobra. I know this is subjective, but I never liked the back end appearance of the 07-09 GT500s either. Anyhow, the rods in the GT500 kept me from doing much more to that car. I got some quotes to have the engine fully built, install a bigger Whipple and better clutch, and convert it to E85. Ultimately I was attracted to the performance potential of the Coyote and decided to sell it. I still miss my Cobra but not really the GT500… it was a nice car but I’d rather have a Terminator.
