Is the 04 cobra faster then the 05 gt

SVTcobra04 · 01-10-2005, 08:15 PM

is.0-60 times are pretty much the same.does the cobra have better acceleration once u hit over about 90.

I dont know the times on the 05 but if they are close to the cobra's it would be because of the hook not the power. As far as 90mph, i would say the cobra is faster because once you hook it up, it pulls like there is no tomorrow and don't run out of power. I test drove a 05 GT and it ran good but it is not a cobra. just my 2 cents

The 04 Cobra is 1-1.5 second FASTER than the 05Gt in the quarter mile.

**cobrabitn** · 01-10-2005, 11:08 PM

Reading magazine tests, the GT ran anywhere from 13.8 to 14.3 in the quarter mile. The stock 04 Cobra runs anywhere from 12.4 to 12.9. You decide....

COBRA!!!!!

SVTcobra04 · 01-10-2005, 11:45 PM

yea your right about the hook up.GO COBRA!!

03/04 Cobra is definately faster than the 05. The 05 since the new mustang weighs a bit more and has hp and torque. It is more comparable to the Mach 1 and 99/01 Cobra's than an 03/04 Cobra as far as performance is concerned.

cobracrazy · 01-11-2005, 09:00 AM

PLEASE!!!!

No brainer. The 05' looks good but it is no Cobra.
Now when the 0?' year Cobra comes out..... I might consider a trade.

Stevenbekah · 01-11-2005, 12:42 PM

No question about it, the 03-04 Cobra IS faster than the 05 GT.

Road & Track tested the 03 Cobra in late 02 and it ran 0-60 times at 4.50 seconds. The best I've seen yet on the 05 GT is 5.2 seconds. Same with 1/4 mile, the Cobra is considerably quicker.

However, the GT is by far the fastest GT ever made and you have to give it props for that!!

A good race would be the following:

05 GT vs
04 Mach 1 vs
02 Cobra

That would be fun to watch!

BOOMER23 · 01-13-2005, 04:52 PM

Yes Firme is right 100 were built during the 02 model year and were sent Down Under. From what I understand it was a breath of fresh air for them. Makes me wonder what kind of roads they have got down there.
