Hey one of my friends has a 2003 cobra really modded so hes out of the question, but the other has a stock 04 mystic cobra. What needs to be done to a 2000 SS to smoke him (1+car lengths).
Thanks

 

What exactly do you have done to your car so far and.... what types of transmissions on each car.

Also are any of them convertible?

 

right now i have catbak exhaust and a K&N filter on my car. Not sure what tranny's they have but neither of them is a convertible.

 

i would say the SS will take the 04 if you can drive.

you say you have the KN filter...you mean just the filter or the intake kit?

i would say your next mod needs to be a lid.

 

I understand this is my first post on this site so you may not listen to what i say, but the race will definitely be a drivers race. I frequent www.svtperformance.com(great vids), and understand alot about the 03-04 cobras. They are largely underrated at 390/390, are rated @ a 12.9 1/4 mile, and ive personally seen them go 12.6 stock on eagle F1's at atco. Your best bet would be from a dead stop, terminaters pull like animals up top. Let us know how everything turns out!

 

uhh..the SS is not going to take the cobra if the cobra can drive. those things trap 110-112 stock...and have run as fast as 12.4 stock. from a dig MAYBE..but only if the cobra driver is pathetic..from a roll...the SS is dead.

you will need full boltons to come close to the cobra..probably a cam in order to beat it solidly.

 

oopss...mis-read the post.

thought he said one was a cobra the other was not...

my bad...

yeah....lid, headers and a cam and you should be well ahead of them...with traction

 

How fast are them 95ish ones?

 

yeah exactly, someone thinks that a catback and a filter is going to beat a 03 cobra? They make 425 fwhp. They are low 12 second cars and the only way you can get him from a dig is if he still has the IRS which means bad launch. Either way, if he cant drive his car you might have a chance but i am pretty sure he is just gunna reel you in.

 

93 cobras COULD run a high 13, but mostly low 14's. 94-95 a bit higher because they weighed more. 96-98 with a very good driver could hit a mid 13..but they are usually hard to drive due to peaky powerband..and will run high 13's low 14's. 99 and 01 can hit mid - low 13's with a good driver.

 

to start off, i'm not a huge fan of mustangs.

The only reason cobras are as fast as they are is because they're supercharged...if it was a supercharged SS vs. a cobra, who would win?

 

lame arguement. if the cobra had a TT with a 350000 shot of nitrous and the SS was superchaged, who would win?

 

I think the cobra's stock times drop lower by the day. I haven't seen a STOCK 03-04 cobra run low 12's ever.

 

Evan Smith ran it to a 12.4. its in a published article.

 

it's been a LONG time since we honestly heard the "but if you supercharge an LS1..." arguement...

i thought it was finally dead
