Isn't Cobra sold as a separate car from the Mustang? As in its not a trim or performance package like the SS, but a separate car in its own right?
Anyway, I think Jellomancer was comparing the Mustang GT's V8 to the Nissan's VQ V6 in the 350Z or FX35 or G35 coupe. 280hp and 270+tq. Nothing compared to the 300+ torque in the 4.6, but its still respectable.
Both Cobra and SS are derivative of Mustang and Camaro, it is their baseline, even if they are differenciated by perfomance package, it is still Mustang and Camaro.
Also, Jellomancer stated that Nissan VQ has more HP output than 4.6L Mustang, which could be referring to GT or Cobra since he didn't specify what type of Mustang.
The 4.6 in the Mach1 currently has 305/320 I think in terms of power. Oh and isn't there a supercharged version of this VQ in the Frontier/X-Terra that makes a pansy @$$ amount of power?
it's a supercharged 6 and it makes 210HP.
the VQ makes 287 N/A in the 350Z and G35C
great possibilities if that thing was supercharged.

it's all good... you got your wickedly boosted car, i've got my auto-xer for now... looking for either an FD or putting in a 20B in my FC in about 3 or 4 years.... i'll try to keep up w/ ya then...
The Cobra in my sig's time is pre 393 stroker (the current is 351), I'll have new times posted this spring
i still like my 5+ liter that revs 8500. you can have your 200 horse if your lucky.Originally posted by: Eli
I would rather have a 2L engine that could rev to 9000rpm than a 4L engine that can rev to 5500.
More fun, IMO.

Yes, the stock valvetrain was heavy and not very effecient. That is why real racers, even in the 60's, replaced the stock pieces with serious aftermarket parts which had better geometry as well. Even stock there was no other bigblock that could rev and gulp air like the hemi could.Originally posted by: 440sixpack

one word: HEMI
The Hemi head is well known for it's great flow numbers at high RPM's. That's why it's the supremo drag engine.
Yes, but it is mostly the valvetrain and rotating assembly that determines max rpm.
True, the stock valvetrain on a 426 street hemi was a heavy beast. Hey there's some great modern upgrades for 'em now, if you've got $15k or so hanging around.

You don't need to spend a fortune to build a nice hemi. My friend and I built one using well chosen new and used parts. Ended up costing around $5000-$8000. Remember it is not some smallblock chevy. We built this thing from the pan up. We made 10.5 sec runs in a 1970 Road Runner race car with this setup. We could have gotten more out of it but we were running a little lean on the top end even though we were using dual 750 cfm double pumpers. All this and a 727 auto too. Take that automatic tranny haters.

Since we don't have a flow bench I can't tell you. However the heads were ported and flowed by a good machine shop. They flowed very well.Originally posted by: Howard
