GM probably will not allow a Rustang to be superior in the H.P. department for very long. The funny thing is that each time Ford raised the bar the small block Chevy just got better! Posts: 5682 | From: Dearborn,Mi. | Registered: Feb 2002

Small insert in the latest Car & Driver on it! They mention the HP at around 390. SAME NUMBER FOR TORQUE! Eaton blower at around 7 lbs on a 4.6L motor. 6-speed, bigger wheels and tires...stiffer springs and bigger anti-roll bar. And a big bulging hood! Article says around $35,000 for this '03 SVT Cobra.

I talked yesterday with a fellow who works in the dyno testing room at Fords. He told me they're testing out at 410 - 415 hp. Apparently it's a rear feed supercharger and should fit under a stock Mustang hood. They may "bulge" it for show in the production models.

Well it's about time they caught up in the HP race...but they had to blow it in order to do it! the article didn't say if the hood bulge was just for show. Maybe there's something else under there!
