Thread: GTP VS Mustang Cobra VS Mustang GT

Old Cobra's are slowsauce.

Low 14 cars for the most part.

Ryan's just mad he can't get out of 14's on a mid 13's setup.

Also...if your transmission is kicking back and forth from gears, I'd be worried. Plus...it was a 3 to 2 like that goober said...3 to 4 or vice versa is over 120.

the 4.6L DOHC cobras are wicked. Low 13's is not uncommon on good rubber with a good driver.

the 01+ DOHC are faster yet

the 03/04 termis are ZOMGTEHSEXORZ.

All the 5.0 Cobra's had were the GT40 heads/intake. They aren't fast. Neither are the 4.6 Cobra's of the same body style. Newsflash to people...14's aren't fast, in fact...neither are 13's for that matter really. I went nearly mid 13's on just rockers and a 3.5" pulley with DR's. '99-'01 Cobra's are alright, but they didn't come into their own and really stand out until the Terminator. Now if you want to talk running a Termi or a Cobra R from '00...then get at me. Otherwise...were talking stock cars here...from a roll. Keeping up isn't that hard when both cars are making around the same power. Especially if the Cobra was stock. And since the guy was older than Methuselah.

Glad to know there are still people here who know what they are talking about.

Don't include yourself as one of them.

This engine produced 305 hp (227 kW) and 300 lbf·ft (410 N·m) of torque, making the new Cobra capable of high-13 second quarter miles."

What were you boltons? Please share your magic!

You can wiki all you want on sn95 cobras. Magic? Truth is, svtp is littered with high to low 12 sec slips from bolt on 96-98 Cobras. These are people who actually own these cars and take them to the track. Not someone with pretend kill stories who looks to wiki to back up their BS.

Look, this was highway racing, real racing, without time or distance limit. I'm not pretending anything, it's a fact. Did I say I destroyed him at the track? NO. Did I say it was a last gen Stang? NO. Therefore this story HAS credibility. Alright, thanks for sharing the info on the Cobras. Stop wasting your time bashing on other people, especially the grand prix owners in a grand prix forum.

Yes Yes I am! But I swore that model of Cobra was way faster than that.

Nice Kills Either way OP!
