Whats really interesting if you look at the specs

the higher hp motor is slower??????????
That's why I was thinking Saleen because those were ****ted up with all sorts of body kits and suspension upgrades. More weight. I also thought those had a different intake and throttle body as well. That could be the 15hp there.

Even the '93 Cobra was rated at 235hp, not 240. And suspension mods are going to help your 1/4 time

Except the lowering springs, they probably increase your 60' time compared to the stockers.

Don't forget that the 93 Cobra's hp numbers were based off the new calculation so you were going from 205hp to 235 where in 87 you're talking about going from 225 to 240.

Funny thing is, we're discussing a theoretical car that no one knows for sure existed from a website that's loaded with wrong information.

I know for a fact that the Saleen foxbody's existed, how is that theoretical? I know that it for sure existed, it's factual.

I know they existed as well. Did they have 240hp? That's what I was referring to. I should have been more specific.

The Cobras were underrated, anyway. But legally it was 235. Old rating or new, it's misinfo
