what does a 1994 z28 need to beat a 2001ish cobra mustang....i have most bolt ons but i dont want to embaress myself on the street...i have never ridden in a cobra but have killed gt's. what am i pulling up next to when i see a cobra

 

Some bolt ons would do it if it's a strong running LT1. Not sure what the cobra runs but it's no 03/04 model.

Edit: I know it's motor trend but it'll give you some idea.

ET they reported was 13.79 @ 103mph

 

what is the difference to the 03/04 model....its just not right to lose to a mustang....so i would rather not try if i dont stand a chance

320hp factory, 0-60 in 5.2 I think hes faster.

 

but as quick as i am with the 4.10's. do you think it is even possible to take a cobra stop light to stop light. just saying he is stock or minor bolt ons

 

I heard Ford gave the magazines shiners for the tests. I say with a full exhaust, intake you would definitly win.

 

i read that article probably 10 times but havnt in a couple years...is the CR on the LS1 really just 10.1:1? i thought it was 10.8? and isnt the gas tank capacity 15.5 gallons not 16.8? and it only dynoed 260 at the wheels...i thought they normally put around 300?

 

Those, it's ok. They are factory supercharged and have in the right hands hit 12's bone stock. Traction/IRS is their weak point when stock.

What do you run? Gears are probably a bigger seat of the pants gain than your et would show.

Run em, see what happens. If ya get beat you can do one of two things.

1: Pull out the old master card and mod some more
2: Realize there is always someone faster and take it in stride

 

there are just so many daddy's boys with there expensive cars that i hate losing to. i put all of my money and work into my car and just love beating those kids. thanks for the input though

 

Remember for every one of those, there is another 50 guys just like you, Only they drive a different car.

 

The pre-blower Cobra's usually run right around stock LT-1 times. They really wake up with a set of gears, exhaust, and air intake. Then they can get into the high 12's around 105-108. A stock n/a DOHC 4.6 makes crappy low end torque, so adding at least 4.10 gears really helps them get into their powerband.

 

Just to say if you get mixed up with a blower cobra your gunna get tossed around like a rag doll.

 

Completely. Those 4-valve cars with some bolt-on's and a blower can trap 120+.

 

yeah, i wouldnt mess w/ an 03/04 cobra unless you have some pretty extensive mods. those cars w/ only an upgraded pully, exhaust and on a good tire will hit 11's no problem.

other then that though you should be able to take a normal N/A cobra

 

yes the CR is 10.1:1

1998 had a 15.5 gal tank, 99-02 has a 16.8 gal tank

average dyno for a 98 is 285-300, average dyno for 99-02 is 295-320ish
