Now history!!! In 99 the Cobra was revamped with 320HP and was gonna stop the LS. People bought up the cars and found quickly they were no faster then the previous models. After quite a few dynoed the cars Ford quickly put a performance recall on them where they received a ported stock intake, bigger exhaust and ecu reflash.

Yes I was around and saw the pallets that showed up to the dealership.

So is it so hard to believe that ford made all these claims....11.8@118 stock and sub 4.0 0-60... then release the car and people are clicking 12.3's which is 4.2-4.3 0-60's.

Then they give the editor of a MMFF mag a car not from a local dealer or not someone else car. But a car they sent him to test and BAM!!! Faster then any other stock 18 by a lot. Better 60FT, higher 1/8 mph and all done in a heavier car on street tires... Not like he was slipping a clutch or beating gears

Ya I couldn't see that happen either.

Great point, I completely forgot about how the new Cobra was going to kill the LS1.... NOT

Just like the Buick 455 released for testing about .5 faster than any other stage 1. GNX same way. Don't forget about the SVT 5.4 beating the Vetter and then all of a sudden we find that the "testers" drop the tire pressure on the Vette, next test the SVT gets spanked.
