Yeah, it's really sad.

It's not like the Cobra is super restricted from the factory, and it's not like that 390 horse isn't underrated. Oh yeah, and it's not in a lighter car, either.

While your sarcasm makes me giggle....you might be hurtin on the brains of the local noobs

For the uninitiated: the 03/04 Cobras had supercharged 4.6's that were rated at 390hp.......but actually made closer to 425hp. And yes, with a handful of bolt-ons they went from fairly nasty to downright ruthless. But they did weigh in at about 3620 lbs, which I'm sure will still be a bit heavier than a Coyote powered S197 GT.....even if not by much.
