The stock 5.0's are overrated IMO... 220 hp's. The foxbody is a good body to build a drag car but the stock motor isnt very quick.
If they kept the 5.0 in the cobra... and a 4.6 with with pp heads in the gt's... not the cardboard ones ford decided to use in mid 90's.... the cobra is going to be slower... doesnt make much sense.

any cheap sportscar stock is overrated, put a couple bolt ons and you have a 13 second car. thats what makes the 5.0 so popular.

RE: 5.0 stang?
it's all about the cammer... 5.0L engine, 412+hp N/A, strong bottom end, and it's an easy drop in motor for a mustang. i'll be grabbing one in a couple of years if the new cobra is unimpressive.

RE: 5.0 stang?
heheheh less power but stronger more lasting motor from what ive seen... my cousin ahd a 5.0 standard 92 model. He raced it for about 100k miles or so and his theory was never shift out of second gear until over 100 mph. It worked he outran everything until the ZO6 vettes came out. Of course towards the end it started getting to where the car wouldnt stay in second and you would have to manhandle it to keep it in gear lol. Someone try it and tell me if my cousin jsut had a wierd car or if thats a new idea lol

the late 80's and early 90's were a different time...until the lt1 f bodies came along, the 5.0's were pretty badass. i can guarantee that if the 5.0 was around today it would be AT LEAST like the old cobras with the better intake, heads, and roller rockers.

5.0= 225hp 4.6=260hp More hp out of a smaller motor. No wonder it sounds good!!

They put crappy heads on the 5.0 to tone it down, thats why AFRs add 75hp. A 5.0 with heads will mop the floor with a 4.6 with PI heads. Nevermind a 5.0 mustang being a few hundred pounds lighter.

Motor Trend reports in the March 2005 issue that the Shelby Mustang will be released as a 2007 model and will be powered by the Ford GT's 550-hp supercharged 5.4L 4V V-8. It will not have IRS as previously planned, but a "beefed up" live axle.
