2001 SS vs. 03-04 Cobra Out with a few friends and went to a new place to race or BS. Happened to be a Cobra there and I wanted to know where I fall in the pecking order of things so I wanted to race him.
Mods: 2001 SS M6, 230's cammed 346 with decked 241's, P&P TB, blowing threw the stock SLP catback. Running Avon M500 tires.
03-04 Cobra, Pullied, tuned, catback, 4.10 gear'd on Nitto 555R.
OK here goes he wanted to race from a dig and I wanted to race from 50 we ended up running twice first from a dig, of course he pulled 3 cars and stayed there. Second race we ended up starting at 40 which is a little lower then I wanted but cool its a race. All the way through second and beginning of third we were dead even, at around 5500rpm I start edging him and I would say had a good 1/4 fender on him before I let out in third and we ran out of track. So needless to say I was very pleased.
After we get back he had a few quotes not hating on the guy it was a good race but it had a good excuse. " My car sucks from a roll because my tires are so heavy."
So all in all it was a good race.
And my car is running way rich when Im pushing it so have to get that figured, fuel smoke was pretty bad after the second race.
Thanks For reading, Eric

"How to whoop on LT1 F-Body's"
1. Select gear (any gear)
2. Accelerate to half throttle
3. At this point you should be at least 1 buss length in front of said LT1.
4. Show courtesy and give a thumbs up after the race is over. After all they dont know any better they did buy a gm.

1 Loss and 1 Win for the record. Ive always liked the 03-04's there mean looking mustangs.
It was 430hp 400tq. Theres a lot of little things I can do to get some more out of it, but Im happy where its at now.
It was a good race Ive never been that dead even with someone.

if cobras are slow for what they are what would you consider an lt1 a slug?? oh and i wouldnt be too worried about your head/cam lt1. maybe if you had a big stroker with a big shot on top of that i might be worried. 
@ the immature lame comments.

My bad. I misread your initial post. It's interesting that you lost from a dig and won from a roll.
I would've thought the outcome would've been reversed...especially with the 4.10 gear in the Cobra.
IRS + 4.10's + gobs of torque = tough to launch on the street.
