You can claim what you want about what the real power of the Cobra is. Until we have evidence to prove it's underrated, you can't say anything. If you look at the specs of the engine, 520 crank hp is all but impossible. Not enough airflow to produce that power, plus the SC is soaking up energy too. Sorry to dissapoint you. BTW, the first Dyno of an LS2 (regular) Corvette yielded 393hp/390lbft. Do the math - that's 452hp/449lbft at the crank, on a car rated at 400hp/400lbft. And it's track times jive with that power/weight ratio. Wanna talk about underrated now? The LS7 that traveled the show circuit in the GTO Judge Concept put out 575/550 at the crank. Would you like to bet the LS7 in the Vette is any different? I don't recommend it. Doesn't matter if the ZO6 is 29XXlbs (like every reliable source out there says) or 31XXlbs (like you say)...it's still got a significant weight advantage over the Cobra. BTW, the regular GT is 3560lb's, and the race-prepped GT-R with the same engine as the Cobra (minus the blower) is 3680lbs. No way in hell that Cobra is going to be under 3500lbs. They call it the GT500 because it's the ultimate Mustang...just like the original GT500 which also did not have 500hp. Quote:

Beav,
I read some time back that to get the bore needed for a 5.0 version of the 4.6, Ford had to use 0.5 mm liners. Where did you find your number? The SVX appears to use 2mm liners, a common size. Ron Quote:

The CTS-V needs 500hp to go head-to-head with the new V10 BMW M5, Audi RS6 and the S/C offerings from Mercedes-Benz, while Shadow correctly mentioned that the GTO Judge is aimed squarely at the next Shelby Cobra. It's a great time to be an auto enthusiast! -Chike

I completely agree too. Mopar and GM have always turned to displacement versus technology. Now GM is starting to use technology, but Mopar continues to get bigger without getting smarter. I am sick of Viper V10's that "will crush anything" when you can take a V8, use some intelligence, and easily get 500hp.

I agree with anyone who says that GTO was the wrong name to use. It's a sweet car, but it'll never be a true GTO. |
