The GT's have been 260 from 1999-2004 and for the most part that is what they delivered. The 2001 Cobra was rated at 320 but many were found to be over-rated from the factory. Ford instituted a "fix" that included new exhaust, computer etc. to try and get them to their rated hp. Some made it and some didn't. The 2003-2004 Cobras actually made more hp than Ford advertised. The consensus was they were around 420-425 from the factory and not the 390 Ford claimed. |

All correct, and to answer the other question, the GT's had the same bhp for auto's and manuals. The Cobras never came with an automatic. -- Mike Silver 10th Anniversary Cobra Coupe --- |

I had a dyno test done on my 2002GT 5 speed with the following mods. Accufab Plenum and 70MM TB, Maganflow cat back, K & N drop in filter. The result is 243 rwhp. 285 rwtq. Martin |

Not too bad. Roughly 226rwhp from factory... how much was the 70MM TB?

Assuming a 15% drive train loss for the manual tranny that puts you at 285 bhp. Considering your modifications from stock I bet your car was close to 260 bhp as delivered by the dealer. |

The low horsepower problem was with 1999 cobras only.
