Cobra's = 280 CI?
I know a guy who lives in my town who has an 03 cobra. He was showing us in his owners manual where it is a 280 cubic inch motor. Why is this, would the different forged crank have a slightly smaller stroke than a gt?

Compression doesn't have anything to do with it, its the area of the bore times the stroke times the number of cylinders.

a cast or forged crank has nothing to do with the stroke
