Here's my take. You NEVER can believe what you hear or read. Hell, even 5.0 mag reported on a "Stock" '02 GT running 13.720 (which is somewhat beleiveable). They said that the car was stock except for the shifter. After a few tweaks (which is no longer stock in my book - not even lowering the mfg's recommended tire pressure), they were able to pump out a 13.720 @ ~102. Well, the article told on them. I am near stock with weld in exhaust and a mass air kit (C&L). I dynoed at 230 rwhp and the car they ran dynoed 238. You do the math. the car was not stock. It may have LOOKED stock but I doubt it was stock. You can change the pulley on an 03 Cobra and the untrained eye would probably not notice (or get a custom chip, or gears, or ....). The 03 in question was probably not stock - not with an average driver in it anyway...
