I think he means for a 03/04 cobra that is stock because it comes out of the factory like that. Thats just like saying that 05 saleen is stock for being a saleen, unless its a 05 gt with saleen mods then yes that gt would not be stock. Thats the way I see lol haha

Dude, quit beating yourself up over dyno numbers. All they are good for is bragging rights. The only numbers that count are 1/4 mile times, and that all depends on the driver. Someone said it before, but Fox body Mustangs are really light, and 280 RWHP in a Fox as opposed to a heavier car with the same numbers is a world of difference.

I dont know. After thinking Im almost wishing I had decided to mod the Lt1 or got a cheap 97. I here the bottom ends on those are equivalent to the cobra in terms of how much power that can take before blowing up. 600 RWHP with nothing but a blower WOW

its all about money, you put enough money into a fox and you can say bye bye 03/04 cobras and c5s. and your still at half of the cost of those cars.
