Horsepower isn't everything and the Cobra has a history of not running as fast as it should in testing (due to traction issues).
I remember the 04 STi vs 03 Cobra comparison done a few years ago where the STi beat the Cobra in the 1/4 mile. The best they could run in a stock
03 Cobra was 13.3 and they mangaged 13.2 in the STi.
But that's what happens when your pulling 2.2 - 2.3 sec 60' times.
