Yea it will but I think he is pointing the fact that there is such a performance difference between the two cars that it is stupid to compare them.

i know the horsepower difference,just thought 'some' people might want to check it out. i know the newer cobra is a better comparo. but the new one is a year away.not saying it is a fair comparo but , a mustang in action.

Wow. My first time ever down a dragstrip I got 14.2 on a stock GT. I lowered that to 13.9 a few runs later.

That was lame.:rollseyes They were obviously trying to sell some GTOs. Race it against an 04 Cobra and see what happens.

i don't think it would be fair to race a n/a car against a factory supercharged car even though the stock hp between the two are somewhat close.

didn't the mustang beat the gto when they compared it in motortrend by a few point? I think the main factor of why it won was the price. could be wrong though :shrug:

motor trend compared the 2 and got 13.2 for gto and 13.6 for gt

do you know the curb weight for the GTO by chance, i think i remember the 05 mustang being at 3450lbs. That's still pretty good when you think about a 4.6L vs a 6.0L with about a hundred more horsepower. Is a 100hp only good for .4 seconds or did the drivers suck? I'm guessing motortrend didn't mention reaction times huh

Car and driver had the GT at 13.8 and the GTO at 13.3 i believe. I wish the 400 hp GTO was at 13.9...then i could beat it with my lame ass 270 flywheel hp...there is no way it is that slow.
