cobra

I always hear everyone say how the cobra is rated at 235 and the gt were rated at 225. Are they telling me that the cobra only has 10 hp difference with better heads, cam, cobra intake, hell they even came with 24# injectors right? how is that only worth 10hp over stock?
 
Each time I see a 93 Cobra it's been 235 or 245. Of course, with GT & LX, I continue to see and hear of horsepower and torque ratings dropped in ‘93.

Honestly, I'd like to see all three stock and dyno'd.

Same motor, just politics! And why 3 motors? The GT and LX had the same motor? The Cobra I would like to see too! But what kind of sick bastard would wanna compare motors from a GT and LX?

The 235hp must be BS cuz a regular GT is rated to do 0-60 in 6.4 seconds, and theres no way 10 (or 20 depending on year) hp extra rating will shave a full second off 0-60.
