225hp/300 ft/lb torque. Supposvdly 93's only have 215hp/290ft-lb's torque... but I think they were just underrated because of the Cobra.

true, and to make the newer sn95 mustangs look faster on paper. 93 was actually underated at 205hp, same with the 93 cobra 235hp but in reality 93 cobras make that much at the wheels stock !!!

Do '93s actually have 205hp? I always thought they were underrated like what 88blueGT said but someone told me that they really do because of the hyper pistons.

If they did, it wouldn't be because of the pistons as they allow you to run closer ring to cylinder wall tolerances due to the lesser thermal expansion of the Hyper piston versus the forged. That would make sure the most power gets transferred during the power stroke as less of the combusions gases would get by the rings.
