96-98 GTs were 225 HP 2V motors.
96-98 Cobras were 305 HP 4V motors.

My bad then lol. I must have had the pre-96 cars in mind of something.

I know the 4V ones pulled pretty good up top, and they REALLY wind out.

Re: 97 z28 vs 97 cobra?

It isn't hard to mix up 94/95 Mustangs with 96-98 Mustangs.

94/95 Mustang GTs had a215 HP 5.0.
94/95 Cobras had a 245 HP 5.0 (main difference was slightly revised heads and intake, but 5.0 Cobras had far more in common with 5.0 GTs than the 4.6 versions do).

Re: 97 z28 vs 97 cobra?

The 4.6 Cobras that were talking about, doesnt the same company that casts Ferrari's blocks, cast theirs?

Them motors had a pretty nifty dual intake runner set-up too from what I remember seeing the one at work at the garage. For what they are, a 4.6 4V motor, they actually make nice low end TQ. They dont feel that far off from the 96 GT my one friend had. Then you hit about 5,000RPM's, and they really start screamin.

Not that we would ever take a customers car past 5,000RPM's or anything ...

Neat cars ...
