Default About to buy a 01 cobra

ok, had 5000 miloes on it, only had one owner. Gonna trade in my GT for 9 and they want me to pay another 11, but im going to try and jew them down to 10. Anyways, what im wondering is, is the 0-60 only 5.5? i read that somewhere, also, i know that the engine is all forged internals, so how much horse's could i strap on before needed to build the engine more then it already is? Thanks

the 01s had no blower, so normal internals

100% sure, 99 and 01 cobras DO NOT have forged internals, only the 03-04 do

i think it's pretty close to what the GT bottom end can handle which is roughly 450 rwhp... so if you stay around 400 rwhp you are probably good
