NO reason why the Coyote 5.0 in a cobra can't run in the 11's
Plus get over 25 MPG

Perhaps your 5.0 was never tuned properly

The biggest advantage the 5.0 has over the other engines are great breathing cylinder heads which has always been the drawback to FE's

I have owned Cobras with FE SO and big cube Windsors so don't tell me about FE's

Just in case you didn't notice the top three finishers in the Rolex 24 at Daytona were all running 5.0 Coyote based engines and they ran more miles that the 427 GT's did back in the sixties.

I would never suggest anybody not run any engine of their choice but to claim the new 5.0's are underpowered simply means you really don't know much about performance engines.

I had this engine in my spf, it won rolex also, it was the cammer, same platform, to suggest I dont know this motor is laughable, never said it wasnt a good choice, said it was underpowered compared to an fe or windsor, I did this set up 5 years ago, I knew how cool it was then and It is cool now, but underpowered in my opinion, please dont put word into my mouth, thanks.
