No, the rods in the GT500 are powder-forged units. The rods in the '03-'04 Cobra's, however, were fully-forged units sourced from Manley. Why they went away from that with the GT500's is a mystery to me.
Nonetheless, the rods in the GT500's have been proven to be able to handle 750+ rwhp consistently, without failure. That is, as long as you keep the rpm's below 6300. Try to spin the motor higher than that in the high-horsepower applications, and they will eventually fail.
