yes. the 01 model year had a slightly higher compression ratio because the heads were cast incorrectly. this ONLY affects the 01 model year.

Why was it a problem? Couldn't run as high of boost due to the higher compression?

well, lets see, new block with forged internals, new heads/ blower cams, new tranny, new rear end, car thats 4 years old -vs.- Brand new car with bullit proof block and internals, great flowing 4v heads with great blower cams, supercharged, T-56 Tranny, IRS, bragging rights of owning a Cobra. WIN = Cobra.

I still thing that GT's are great cars, and I would buy another one in a heart beat, but for what I want, the Cobra suits me best.
