That is from Evan Smith's blog on March 23rd.

But nothing else has come out since then about him driving the 2011 GT.

I have heard a rumor that he matched 2003 Cobra time he got but nowhere near what I would call a reliable source.

I would like to see Evan Smith do a SS vs GT test. Preferably a GT with the brembo brake package(mainly for the tires) and gear option. He would probably get the best printed times for both the SS and the GT.
Well...If even the lower dyno to date of 37Xrwhp is correct, I wouldn't be surprised. That's just about what a stock 03-04 cobra puts down and the cars weigh about the same, but the '11 GT has the advantage of a solid rear axle. It's very possible. If the 12.7 from motortrend wasn't some fluke, it's probably about as fast as the drivers at motortrend ever got the cobra.
