Answer to the 390 H.P Cobra!!!!

I believe that the GM cars are faster in stock trim but in no way better. If you take into account everything besides just the horsepower(looks, interior, ride and handling and overall quality) the Mustang wins hands down. And I think you will find that since this is a Mustang board almost everyone who is a member here(with the exception of our GM brother's who come here) would agree, otherwise they would be driving GM's. In fact I would venture to say the rest of the country would agree since it is the GM cars which are being discontinued due to bad sales. Also if you take into account the price differential in the two makes a Mustang owner could take the money saved and invest it in some mods and then be faster also, but that's hypothetical.

As far as the Cobra being able to run 12's stock I don't have that answer at hand. But i do know the Mach 1 ran a 12.97 at FFW in Atlanta so I would assume that the 2003 Cobra can definitely run a 12. So a GM car is faster stock. Whoopee.
