    "Wasn't as bad as I thought though, we did 0-70 and he had me by a car. Considering he has 400+ HP i thought my 260 did ok."

    that statement = epic fail

    unless the guy driving the cobra had an uncontrolable prostetic arm...0-70 he would had way more than a car on you...

    I'm just telling you how it went down, you dont have to give a smart comment about it. Maybe he wasnt going all out but he was racing for sure cause when he went to 2nd gear he had wheel spin. All im doing is sharing an experience. As i said in my post I know that car would own me and most GTP's out there. Also it may not have been 70mph since my kmh to mph conversion isnt that great. I can give another excuse if you like? Maybe it was a GT with Cobra badges??

    Bullsh*t. If the Cobra is stock I doubt it.

    They are put in a fuc*ing trophy case but they are nothing great and with a bad driver have problems getting OUT of 14's.

    blue gtp i dont get it the cobra was rated at 390 crank horses (found to be normally underated), the gtp 260hp and the cobra weighs ~300 more pounds...i just see more than a car length on those numbers...unless the driver mod was needed...am i wrong here? not trying to start a arguement just simply stating my opinion...they are trophied because intake,pulley,tune makes for a pretty beastly setup! id love to be in the 12's with those mods....however think about this....

    gtp-5000$
    intercooler-1000$
    rockers-400$
    intake- 100$
    headers- 600$
    mps with a tiny pulley-100$
    tune- 100$ - 400$ or diy
    built trans-2000$

    thats 9600$ at very most (all parts new) and ron vogel in the 12's going 11's with slicks on that setup...12 second sub 10k car is very good

    cobra-25-30k used!

    pulley-100$
    tune-100-400$
    intake-200$

    thats 30,700$ at very most.....running 12's and 11's so which would you choose

    GTP ftmfw ...even turboed gtps that spank cobras are less that 15k properly done....
