Between the Cobra and GT the torque ratings are very close if anything the GT may have a slight edge but in HP it's not close. The reason most of you haven't seen fast 99+ Cobra's at the track is because launching that IRS is not an easy task. With a little driving experience they are just as quick as the 96-98 Cobras. I've seen a stock 96 Cobra with DR's run 13.1 as well as a stock 01 Cobra run 13.5's on stock tires and no mods. I've never seen GT's run anywhere close to this stock.
Plus look at it this way, I have just about every bolt-on short of headers and I'm running 12.9's. A similairly modded Cobra will run 12.2's or quicker.
