Street Racing & Kill Stories - Bone Stock 2000 Cobra vs My Mostly Stock 95 M6 Z28 Vert in Memphis TN

So I'm tailing this chick in a Cobra through Memphis on Holmes road. I pull up next to her at an intersection where the road turns into a 6 lane with a turn lane. She gives me the look and I knew what was about to happen. I didn't want to race her because I was under the impression that Cobras would stomp on LT1s. Guess I don't know too much about Mustangs. We took off and from the line she pulled on me about a half a car. Around 45mph I began to catch her, and by 65 I had bought a half a car. Next time I looked at the speedo at 120, she was about a car behind and then she hit the brakes. Is this normal? I thought a Cobra should walk off on my car? I know Mach 1's do. All I have is exhaust and some 275s on the back.

I thought they skipped making cobras in 2000 due to some problems with them not producing enough power and Ford took the year off to resolve the issue and fix the ones they sold. To me they are not like the Mach 1's although the Mach 1 is rated with less hp. Some cobras ive seen dyno around 235-245rwhp and i think they were 320hp at the motor, but im sure someone will chime in and be more specific. Either way good kill OP

There was no Cobra for 2000. They did have the Cobra R. 5.4L 385hp/385tq many dyno's showed it was underrated that it almost put 385 to the wheels stock. . ..Ran 12's stock.

Maybe a older one. I had a 97 with full bolt ons and that thing was slow. Low 13's was all I managaed out it. Can't lie I got beta by bolt on SS/TA all the time.

Technically there was. They were sold only on Australia though.

Is that your moms car in your sig?

did the rear bumper say mustang or cobra?

did you notice if she was shifting?

I'm not sure if it was 2000. I just know it was the same body style as my buddies 2000 V6 Mustang (:barf:). And yes she was shifting and quite well I might add. Haha. And yes the bumper said cobra. I've raced a couple of mach 1s and both of them barely beat me. Maybe like 1 car or so. But I had never raced a cobra just because I had the impression that they were just beasts. i wouldnt race one simply because it seemed pointless. Its like me racing a ls1 ss in my stock lt1 z28. Just isnt a good idea. Haha. But here in a couple of months my z28 will be a different monster. Already started ordering parts off the list. Haha.

The o1 and o2 cobras were n/a cars I belive. N/a cobras are 4.6 4v motor run mid to high 13's so should be a good race for a stock or mostly stock ltx car
Good kill

:jest: So much fail here

:jest: So much fail here

rotflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was the 99 Cobra Mustang that had the recall, and it was probably a 99 cobra that OP ran against. next time OP should post a sign in your window that says loser has to show tits if your racing a girl that is...

Um how was mine a fail 01/02 svt cobras are n/a.
03 they went F/I, that's a fact. So it was more than likly a n/a cobra witch is a mid13 sec car witch is a good race for a basicly stock lt1. Pleas forgive us gm guys for not knowing every little thing about the rustang's.

mustangs taste like chicken. lol

Or baby snakes

Mostly because there was no 02 cobra the 03 debuted in summer of 02 as next years model there was an 01 then it skipped to 03. someone correct me here but the op said it had cobra on the bumper i know the 99 just said mustang while the 03-04 say cobra what did an 01 say?

01 say cobra my budy has one

LMFAO @ the comments on here. So much FAIL it's quite entertaining please keep going haha

There weren't any 02 Cobra's in the US. They were all shipped to Austrailia. 02 Cobras were not a normal production model year.

There were 96-98 Cobras, 99-01 Cobras, and 03-04 Cobra's.

Sounds to me you raced an N/A 99-01 Cobra. Those cars were lucky to hit mid 13's with a good driver.

LOL THERE WAS NO 99-01 COBRA. It was 99, 01 Cobra. Good God people :rotflmao:

99 Cobra had MUSTANG on the back and 01 had COBRA on the back. The 00 Cobra R had a V6 Mustang bumper.

Mr. Technical here, haha.

99 Cobra = Mustang Bumper
2000 Cobra = V6 Bumper
2001 Cobra = Cobra bumper.

That would mean 99-01 since there were all 3 model years.:eyes:

LOL

Correct, 99 cobras have "mustang" on their rear bumper, while 01s say "cobra." But some people change the bumper so you can never be too sure. There are no 2000 or 2002 cobras (unless you wanna get technical and confuse everyone here).
99/01 cobras are typically hard to launch due to their IRS and many times they cant break into the 13s therefore this outcome isnt hard to believe.

However i wouldve expected the lt1 to get the jump and then the cobra to reel it in.

Mr. Technical here, haha.

99 Cobra = Mustang Bumper
2000 Cobra = V6 Bumper
2001 Cobra = Cobra bumper.

You cannot go buy a 2000 Cobra. The Cobra R was something completely different.

It's not a "Mustang fact," it's a "car-guy fact." Doesn't it kinda suck to only know about one kind of car? I like being able to go to a car show and actually converse with people there without sounding like an idiot.

Nobody calls the Cobra R a "Cobra," though. And yes, it does confuse people.

I know about other cars just not mustangs as far as fords go Im a t-bird and truck guy

Uhhh, you can't? It was a limited edition race car. Were they just for show, and not available to be purchased?

I know. That is why I pointed out the difference of the trim levels, as most people think if a Mustang has a Snake emblem, it is an 03/04 Cobra and is super fast.

The Cobra R and Cobra are not the same thing. Different motor, different transmission, different body parts, different exhaust, different interior, different fuel systems, different build numbers. If what you say makes sense then there were 2 Cobras built in the same year?

No.

I am saying there was a 99 Cobra, a 2000 Cobra R, a 2001 Cobra, a 2003 Cobra and a 2004 Cobra.

Most people won't know the difference between those model years unless you are a car guy.

I know the differences, I have owned 4 Mustangs, one of which was an 03 10th Anni. The 99, 01 and 2000 Cobra R were all N/A. Go figure....

Point being, if someone sees a Cobra emblem on a mustang, the average person that does not know better, will automatically think Cobra, and not wonder if it is an N/A 315HP model, 385HP model, or an F/I 425 HP (Underrated from Ford)

You're all so trivial. You should be ashamed. Not everyone is up to date on their slow ass cars from 10 years ago factoids. I bet you feel so smart, stopsign.
:wave-fing

So because it has a snake emblem its a Cobra? :lol:

Yes.

Same thing as having a "Cam" only, that means it is just that, a "Cam only" car.

:D
