Anyone have any ideas if the 2005's (v6) will be massively Over-rated in HP/TQ like our current cars? Ford says we have 193 but reality tells us more like 160.

But the current Cobras Read 390 and i have heard they can possibly be under-rated meaning they have at least 390.

any ideas?

Uh, 99+ V6's DO have 190ish hp. But thats at the motor. They are making around 160 to the wheels. So I dont know what the hell you're talking about.

right. but, from what i have heard the cobras have 390 HP engine and around 390 HP to the wheels.

so does that mean the 2005 will have 203HP engine and lke 170 to the wheels?

The Cobra is supercharged and Ford also didnt want to over rate it into the 400hp range because then its approaching Z06's.

But more than likely the car will have 203 at the engine.

the current V6's are not over-rated, the Cobra is under-rated.
