Stock, I don't think so. Most I've seen go about 225-230 rwhp (between about 260 and 265 bhp). Some go as high 235 rwhp (about 270 bhp) but 273.6 rwhp is about 315 bhp. The new GTs are deffently strong runners, but Ford isn't 55 hp off.

Plus the Cobra, I believe, is hindered by the IRS.

True. Supositly wheel hop is a real pain, and they tend to break a lot under servere use (slicks). I haven't had the pleasure to drive one, but I've read the Cobra R with its upgraded axles goes a long way in solving the wheel hop problem.

IMHO a Cobra with 320hp should run in the low 13s but Ford obviously didn't get the car right.

Where did Bad Dad run off too. I think he was knocking on 12s with some minor mods. They one thing that really holds Cobras back is the stock gearing.
