1988 Gt - 1998 Gt Hp Each Year

[SLOW 97]

Actually Unit, the hp ratings don't change with the transmission. The factory rationg are at the flywheel only and have nothing to do with rearwheel horsepower numbers. The 94-95's had 215 hp. The 96-97 had 215 and 225 in '98 because of a hotter EEC tune. Also, I think in '93 they 5.0 was actually rated at 205 hp. This doesn't matter though because Ford just changed it's criteria for rating it's engines. The '93's will dyno about the same as a '92. The only differences between the two engines is that the '93 had hypereutectic pistons and different computer. I've also noticed something about the Cobra's ratings. Every new Cobra exceeds the Cobra R by 5 HP.
-'93 R 235 -'94 Cobra 240
-'95 R 300 -'96 Cobra 305
-'00 R 385 -'03 Cobra 390

Why exactly are we talking about stock factory ratings anyway? It's rearwheel power we should be talking about.
