Actually the Cobra was heavier, not by much maybe 400-600 pounds being a supercharger, all that it included, larger rims/tires etc etc. A stock Mustang GT of 03 runs about ~14 ish. I raced a manual the other day in my SS and barely lost to him starting from a dead stop, however on a 2x something roll I was a few car lengths ahead.

I started reading this post and felt I should jump in. I have had several Mustangs going back to a 68 Grande with a 390 and a worked over 83 GT with an honest 360hp @ the tires. Calling a Stock GT a fast car is like saying "my Volvo wagon is fast".
It takes a lot of work to make a stock GT fast but then you need to make it stop and "Handling" is a whole nother subject.

Why is the GT not a fast car? I mean its a car that is (1) 4 years old (2) has a 0-60 time of 6.0sec and (3) it was in the mid $20K brand new... I mean it was nothing extremely impressive, but for the price.... yeah
Let alone the new one with a stock 0-60 of 5.2.....
For 12K i can find a Black 5 spd 2003 GT with under 40K miles and in great condition.. IMO thats a deal you cant beat and if it wasnt for inurance i wouldnt have a Ranger right now.

LOL I find it interesting, everyone on the cobalt sites think a 14.1 in a stock car is slow. But personally, low 14s in a 20 grand car is freakn awesome. From what I recall is the Fox bodys were running like 15s flat, then they went to the 4.6 motor and it was a pos until fairly recently. Then mustangs ran 14.5 ish (GT manuals mind you) and now the GTs have lost some weight, and added some power and run mid 13s.
