Yeah I know. There aren't many differences between a T-5 and a T-45. If you ask me, they are both garbage trannys. I would venture to say the 4R70W puts power to the ground even better than the venerable C-4 because it's electronically controlled. It's a very good auto. as for the ratings, you do have a point with the computers being different and also the cams. I actually would like to see the auto industry switch to RWHP ratings but we all know that won't happen. I think a reason the '93's were rated so low is because the Cobra engine only made 10 more ponies. Let's be honest, who the hell will pay the extra money for a car that is less of a performance deal. You could buy a stripped LX for thousands less than the Cobra and still be as fast.
