if theyre from an S197 cobraa yes, all of the S197's have the exact same bodies and will have the same connection points. the only things that are different are the drivetrains, and aesthetics. same frame, body, etc...

The bars will fit but you will also need the GT500 brackets.
The attachment points are the same but the brackets and
associated hardware are different because of the different
size sway bars. You want the GT500 sways why? The V8 GT
sways on a V6 pony pack would be just right. The GT500 sways
would be way too stiff and maybestart causing opposite side
tire lifting IMHO.

How much difference is there between the V6 pony Package Sways and the GT take off Sways, or is there a difference?

Mine was 31.5MM up front on my 07 V6. I measured it with metric calipers.

They are hollow and the diameter tells you little about the compliance of the bar.
Now cut them in half and compare the wall thicknesses then its apples to oranges.
