High 13/Low 14

They are nice cars, though your car currently would be able to win against a stock 98 cobra.

Completely bone stock I pulled a 8.8 @ 81mph in mine spinning halfway through second. Thats roughly a 13.72 in the 1/4. I was still in second gear when I crossed the line too. It dynoed 261/260 to the wheels.

Yeah, but throw some 4.10s, a decent exhaust upgrade with a good tune and she should put up low 13's-high 12's N/A! You won't get that out of a stock GT (Including the '03's) Plus the fact that it's an SVT Cobra which will surely hold its' resale value more than the GTs ever will.

My 97 Cobra ran 13.9@102MPH with a 2.2 60ft time, BBK L/T's and 3.73 gears. Not bad, but I was spinning really bad.
