Well, my dad owns a 97 Cobra. Today i brought it to the dealership i work at and was planning on machining the front rotors and replace 2 tires. So mid-way through the morning a PDI truck pulls up and there is a black 05 Mustang GT on it. So one of the techs drives it in and i started doing the PDI ( pre-delivery inspection). Then i was going to test drive it but i thought... Hey why not see how a 97 cobra would go upagainst this thing. SO we left for lunch and we were a few cars apart on the highway. Then i caught him and we played for a bit, then got lunch and started back to the dealership. Well, we tried a 30 roll and i pulled on him maybe half car. Then we got to the highway and we did a 60.... I was in 3rd in the cobra, at 2kish rpms, and the rear end gears are 3.27's. The new GT, was in 3rd gear, with 3.55 gears. He didnt remember how many rpms. But we went at 60 and i couldnt pull away from him what so ever. We stayed even and he was pulling on me. Im sure if i had downshifted to 2nd and tached it to 7, i could have jumped on him. But i was super suprised what the new GT can do. It sure didnt feel like the power my dads cobra has. The new GT really doesnt have that head snap to it. I ot a few more pics of it also. And when it was in the shop i looked over the underneath for a bit. I dont like the exhaust on this thing, and now when you replace springs you have to have a strut compresser, the gas tank looks like saddle bags that straddle the drive shaft, which is now 2 pieces. The shifter doesnt go into youre trans like the ealier models, the bottom of the shift handle goes into a hook and its connected to a rod on the trans. Its pretty much like a brand new car, everything has changed.
It's already got a tail out? or did you catch the left signal at the off there?
Thats why I hate cars with turnsignals/brake lights that are one in the same.
ya i think that he did...and i agree i dont like it much either
omg i love dat new stang...they did it very well...i think in the years to come they will profect it give it 2-3 years

Pre 03-04 Cobra's have a very horrible torque curve. That GT motor needs time to break in, if it had a couple grand on it I bet it would have pulled alittle from a roll.
