I believe it'll be more. Just need to get a few Cobras down the strip or on the dyno to tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Member 250 Member For: 21y 4m 12d Location: City Posted 17/10/07 06:58 AM Share Posted 17/10/07 06:58 AM Oh by the way the 302 will be fitted to the Force8/GT/GTP/P/SP IF they have any left after production of all the Cobras. Only 50 are estimated to be left around to be thrown in the mainstream FPVs. Read http://carpoint.com.au/car-review/2832105.aspx for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an edit would see more than 12kW eh. But lets say you wanted to "trial" some internal bits needed to produce a 351kW model in the near future?
