The last years they made of those cars were definitely fast with alot of potential for more boost, but you are talking about a car made over 15 years ago when you could buy a brand new stripper 5.0LX for $10K. The Buick turbo cars cost a decent amount more than that - throw some heads, intake, cam, and a blower on the 5.0 for the money. They were cool cars but nothing to get mad at Ford about. Even the '87 GNX (the fastest of those cars) stock ran in the 13s at around 100mph.
Also, to call the '03 Cobra limited and expensive is a little silly if you compare it with other cars for sale today. Nothing comes close to having over 400hp for $35K (they are underrated at 390) and I see new ones available for sale all over, so they aren't that limited.
As for making a GT run 11's, you can do it with a new GT, a blower, and stickies in the back. Are you just bitter because you bought all the bolt-ons for yours instead of going for a blower right off the bat?
