The cobra by a long shot. As stated the cobra is under rated, more like over 400 hp. The Bullitt is basically a S197 GT with an intake, mufflers, and 3.73 gear. In a quarter the Cobra should get it by a good half of a second with equal drivers.

Plus when modding comes into the picture, the cobra just pulls away more and more. And considering a terminator would be cheaper than a new bullitt, its a no brainer!!!

ok so the use of "uh" was gay, I admit. didn't know they were underrated. was this intentional by Ford or do they just not know how to measure hp at the crank?

I believe it was intentional to give those chevy guys a kick in the nuts.

Corvette Owner:"What the hell just passed us?"
Corvette Owner's Friend:"It looked like a Cobra, sounded like his alternator was going out."

I would imagine it was intentional after the screw up with the 99 Cobra. Ford advertised 320 and it was more like 305. The recall on the 99 Cobras was the reason there weren't any 2000 Cobras (except the Cobra R).
