[QUOTE="fleshmcfilth123, post: 12223523, member: 126810"] The argument has 2 main points, the Cobra 4.6 is factory forged and the 5.0 is not. The 4.6 is also factory supercharged and the 5.0 is not. Add a pulley to the Cobra and it takes a LOT of bolt on work to get a 5.0 to compete. Stock, or bolt ons not including a pulley, they are very close. When aftermarket blowers are factored in, the Cobra motor has the upper hand when you consider reliability, because of the factory internals. That being said, with forged internals and an aftermarket blowers on both, the 5.0 absolutely shines with more displacement, variable valve lift and timing, and airflow through the heads and (specifically the Boss) manifold. The s197 chassis is set up better for handling, and has the 8.8 rear so many Cobra guys switch to, not to mention the fact you can purchase the vehicle with an automatic transmission, which is indisputably better for drag racing consistency than an stick and IRS. Generally the base 5.0 Coyote is what's compared to the 03-04 Cobra's engine, when IMO the Boss motor is a more accurate comparison, because it has similarly forged internals and make BIG power with an aftermarket blower. Either way, both cars are awesome. [/QUOTE]
