Ricer 1: What the heck was that!?
Ricer 2: I don't know. It looked kind of like a yellow SN95 Mustang.
Ricer 1: Nah, fast SN95 Mustangs don't exist... Must have been a mirage or something...

U should have relized by now ford always seemes to underustermate hp. There have been a couple of times fords have not met the hp standered that they set. If u look at the history of ford most of the time it is way lower than than what a ford vechile can produce

I'm inclinded to agree. Yes, the '99 Cobra was a huge embarassment, but look at the overall history. Take the Boss 429 for example. You really think a monster 429 hemi-headed engine would only crank out 330hp (or so)? Even if it is true, who gives a rats @ss about 5hp? I mean, it's important to deliver a product as advertised but the '99 Cobras were falling in the mid-to-upper 200hp range and that was sad for an engine rated at 320hp. Remember to keep it in perspective.
