Again.... All it would take is a gt35 and a rom tune and some injectors with a little bit of weight loss to get 500-600whp without spending 5k. No need to go into the internals or order kits or what not. In 2003 parts weren't so cheap for cobras either. A 2003 cobra vs a 2003 evo stock for stock on the track the evo would win. Yeah the cobra has more power but weigh way more then the evo. The balance of power to weight is much greater in the evo then with the mustang. The evo started off at 28k other options could be added. The cobra is around 34-36k so again if our budget was to build a race car in 2003 and all we had was 40k I would come out on top with the evo.
I just posted a video of a evo vs a 2004 cobra with almost the same power and the cobra didn't even come close. He out at least 4 cars on him.
