hey guys just curious but does that sound right? i didnt run it someone else said they did it just kinda sounded bs to me.

it was a guy in a 96 cobra said he ran an 8.74 in the 1/8 on street tires a 2.1 60' @82 mph "with the IMRC wigged out on the car"

oh by the way his car is stockjust sounded odd for a cobra to run like that

sounds about right, ive seen stock cobras around here running 8.6 and some 03s pulling 8.3. and my car runs about an 8.9 as screwed up as it is lol

FastZinTennessee

That time sounds believable to me.

Jeremy95TA

Sounds about right to me as well.

Sounds to fast to me. My brother in law had a 96 Corba with catless x-pipe, flowmasters, intake and some other mods(sounded mean as **** btw). And the best he could pull off was a 9.2 at ??mph. This was in Iowa so maybe in a lower elevation he might be able to pull off a better et. I never got to race him before he sold it.

he claims he ran a 13.0 in the 1/4 also on a stock cobra and a 12.5 on n20 100 shot.... it just doesnt seem right to me ..... maybe he is .... i will have to get my car fixed and find out whos is faster.

Seems a bit quick for a DOHC N/A stock cobra. That would translate into a 13.3 @ 104mph

When I had full bolt-ons I ran 8.699 (~8.7) @ 83.5mph w/2.1 60' which resulted in a 13.3 @ 105.8mph. I raced my buddy's cobra (97' with catback, CAI, timing adjuster and shifter) and he ran 14.0x @ 102 w/2.3 60'. It ended up being like 4-5 carlengths. He was modded and despite a bad 60' only trapped 102mph (81mph in the 1/8th).

Either your guy is bsing you or he can drive the hell out of a freak mustang. BTW, all my runs against my friend were at sea level @ NEw England Dragway. I have heard thta Evan Smith and some mustang guys have run mid 13's witha 96-98, but nobody has come close to a "13.0" stock. I dont think I have even seen them break into the 13's stock at my track to be honest. Doesnt mean it dosnt happen, but a 13.8-13.9 is alot slower than a 13.0.

They all say crap like that.

That car might be lucky to run 9.2's in the 1/8@78 mph.

et sounds about right. MPH seems a little high for a stock'96. but if he was spinning hard that may make his traps a little higher, as weird as that may sound.
