[QUOTE="BlueSnake01, post: 12152207, member: 57844"] Most of that can be used as an opinion. Having more power stock without a blower doesn't mean much when both are making similar power with similar size blower. The biggest difference in reality is the chassis, if the Cobra was a great handling car and close/superior still to the 5.0, lots of these pointless rants wouldn't exist. IMO the S197 still feel and look like big boats, nice upgrade over the first S197 but still not my cup of tea. Interior is nicer but I hate the gauges, seats, feel to it, I feel very small in it. NE along with the Foxbody's are still to me the best looking Mustang's, both look mean. Can care less about interior if im driving either one of those. I still see people driving 60's Mustangs even though their interior is crap to ours, you like it, that's all that matters. From my point of view, both are great cars and part of the same family. Years from now, I expect the V6 Mustang to be superior to the 5.0 as the past one's have been, does that make the 5.0 a crap car? No! If anything, its not that the 5.0 gives the Cobra a run mod for mod, in fact its the other way around. An almost 10 year old car still being considered a threat and giving these new cars a run is amazing. Far as I know, my car is pushing 460+whp and has been very reliable for the past 2 years, my chasis, IRS, rear is even older and its still perfectly fine 11 years later. Tune makes a huge difference, lets not forget the infamous cylinder 8 fail on a brand new car! Wasn't any different than the Cobra in its time and even now. It really amazes me how people are really going on against each other. Soon we are both gonna be surpassed by a better engine years from now and it will most likely start with a V6. Enjoy your damn car, Cobra or 5.0/Boss, they are both great cars with a lot of potential under the hood. As to which one holds more power, does it matter? 90% of either owners won't go past the simple bolt on's. [/QUOTE]
