Not to point out the obvious here, but he said CAN of coke. Meaning 12oz. And 16fl oz of water weighs 16oz. Since regular Coca-Cola sinks in water, it's reasonable to assume the beverage weighs somewhat more than water, and 16oz for a 12fl oz can would be believable.

wally6761, your engine displacement is 281ci, or 4.6L. You do not have a 4.8L. I suggest you learn what kind of engine you have before you decide to debate people on it.
By the way, you obviously don't understand much about the performance capabilities of the engine. There have been guys running 11's on the stock engine DOHC 4.6L since the late 1990's. It's not a pushover, and unlike the "junk" LS-1's, (which has more to do with the crappy quality put into the car than the engines output), the 4.6L DOHC has been a proven engine to 100k. There are a lot of high mileage Cobra's out there.

wjfawb0, I happen to agree with your sentiments. Paying over 30k for a car places it out of my range. Good thing the new Mach 1 goes for $28,500, has well over 300hp, and will run 12's from the factory with drag radials. 6000 will be built. 1000 Cobra's as well. While they may be limited edition cars, Ford has been pushing the performance up on the GT in the background as well. I fully expect to see a near 300hp GT for under $25k in the next couple of years.
