To make a long story short, '99 Cobra owners began wondering about their cars after many realized they didn't run as hard as a 320-horsepower car should. Many ran their cars on the dragstrip and others strapped their Cobras to a chassis dynamometer to see exactly how much power was getting to the wheels. When stories started circulating that '96-'98 Cobras were making more power at the wheels than the '99s in some instances — even though they were only rated at 305 horsepower — people began realizing that something was rotten in Denmark...make that Dearborn

Yeah no shit, I've known that for 3 years now. I was just correcting your intelligent statement saying "all Cobra's suck" and that "all Cobra's are under powered".

they never put down on the dyno what they should.
maybe the new ones will be diff but as for the older ones, they suck
as for camaro/firebird they hp is actually UNDERATED at the factory, and they usually pump out a little more than what the stock specs are.
I have one of those sucky slow cobra's
