I get that, but even with modding the GT still has a better tone/rumble in most cases.

Right, its the engine, completley different engine. Heads, 32 valves, 4 cams, smaller displacement, etc, etc, etc. So many different things on the engine since its a DOHC engine.
You think bigger displacement gives a better sound, but part of that "hollow" rumble sound from the GT is the smaller displacement. Same reason our exhaust gives off that drone, its just bigger. Think about it in instrument terms, for example the 6.2l cylinder is like a bass drum, and the 5.0l cylinder is like a tom.
It may be deeper but not necessarily a better sound for what you are looking for.
But the exhaust comes out of the heads, which will ultimately shape its sound, they are so much different than ours, its going to sound that much different.
I love the way cobra's sound.
