man they don't powershift them....because they figure you wouldn't abuse your car like that...so they don't...those are accurate times. 1993 Cobra only had 240 horsepower...1993 Z28 had 275....and it was a bit lighter. The best time i've ever heard of for those years was in 1986. The GT ran a 0-60 in 6 seconds and 14.6 quarter mile time. 1987 GT ran an altitude correct 14.7 and it was quoted as the quickest run ever by a Mustang GT for those years 87-93and that year had Speed Density.</P>

you said it yourself they dont beat the rides to get the best time. those times are what your average driver are capable of gettting. and if you only think a GT40 engine makes 240hp 15hp more then a 5.0HO. then your mistaken. for 1993, ford downrated its 5liter hov8 combination by 20hp [from 225 to 205] without actually making any contributing mechanical changes to the engine itself. All the factors discussed in chapter 15 relating to the downrating of 5liter ho v8 also apply to the 1993 gt40 ized cobra powerplant. by 1993 new appraisal, the cobra v8 rating worked out t o235 hp, or 30 more than the rating assigned to the standard 5 liter ho v8. these conservative numbers were delegated despite the fact that the same gt40 parts assembled on a an o0ther wise oe5liter engine had already produced 270hp in a well publicized nonfactory evaluation.
this is just some of the info of the gt40 motor |

man those years were not fast. GT's ran a very high 14 and low 15's.. The cobra ran mid to high 14's. The 99 and up GT's would beat those cars any day of the week. It would take some major mods such as a supercharger or turbo to get those cars down to low 14's or better. They were fast for their time...But now a days...they would get spanked my some Integra's and Accords....</P>
