Why does everyone get off on the 03' cobras when the 03 S281 Saleen is faster?

according to saleen's site, the s281 runs a 14.1



that is nowhere near what the 03 cobra's run

whoops I mean the S281-E: 425hp.....

i think that you are reffering to the s281E, not the s281.



edit: you fixed it as i was typing my reply https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Well both cars are great stock. The difference is the S281-E is a 2 valve Modular engine while the 03 Cobra is a DOHC 4 valve Modular engine. The cost is also a big difference the S281-E is more expensive than the 03Cobra. The power potential and Mods are big difference also 03 will make more power with MODS similar to the S281-E. It's like having a SOHC VS DOHC civic with the same MODS the DOHC will out perform the SOHC. Lastly, SALEEN is a differnt company which only goal is to tune and modify Mustang while 03Cobra came out straight from the Ford assembly line. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



One more thing you forgot about the ROUSH Mustangs which has three stages of performance. ROUSH V6( I have no idea why they made it), V8ROUSH StageI, Stage II & the Stage III almost equal to the S281-E level of performance. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
