Ok, here's what was originally on there before somebody fixed it.

Debuting in early 2002, the 2003 Cobra came with a supercharged 4.6 L DOHC engine rated at 350 hp (291 kW) and 355 ft•lbf (529 N•m) of torque. It was later determined that Ford had not underrated the Cobra, as actual output averaged 355-365 hp (321 kW) and 365 ft•lbf (583 N•m) of torque.

Obviously somebody had messed with it as the english to metric conversions weren't even done. I just posted it so somebody who knew how to edit it would. Fixed now so maybe somebody can edit and delete this thread....haha.

I started the movement to actually push that line starting in the Ford Mustang article before it split off into eras.
I got it pushed based on an article which quoted a Ford rep saying they wanted to keep the power output below the 400hp corvette level of surplus insurance premiums - yet still didn't hold back on the actual output of the engine. An obvious contradiction that implied the underrating plus the real world dyno results.
I also got the sentence from the SN95 section that stated the SN95 5.0 was faster than a SN95 4.6 removed.
