97 Cobra vs 06 Monte Carlo SS
This isn't the best quality, but oh well. The camera car was the monte! Both cars had passengers. The monte has intake, exhaust and a tune, it was tuned by Henson in Pelham,Al. Final numbers were 267.1 and 309.7 at 90* and 54% humidity. The cobra has intake, or xpipe, slp mufflers and 3.73 gears.

Yes i missed 3rd gear in the dig run, first time racing anything. I've only had the cobra a week.
Now I need some tires and more mods.

LOL speed! Not really a ford guy, just picked that cobra up for deal. Since i got rid of my 350z, i've been itching to get something quick again.
I actually figured he would pull on the cobra before we left out.

Good races! The outcome was about what I expected. I don't think those Montes and Impalas get enough credit in general (probably due to the lack of aftermarket support).
Congrats on the new Cobra, I've always loved the way the 1996-1998 Cobras look. What are your plans for it?

nice runs, from what ive read and heard 4.30s(some go as high as 4.56s) are the best gears for the 96-98 cobras. With your mods its probably a 102 mph car as it sits. they handle great and can look good too once you get rid of the stock wheels unless ti has the cobra r's...my brother has one with about the same mods and a couple little things doen and he went 104 which isnt bad.

Full bolt ons, gears and DRs are easily mid 12s with some seat time.

Sounds like you have a solid plan to me! Let us know how the modding goes.

Unless you plan on using sniper (self tuning software).
IMRC delete? (I'm having a brain fart) what exactly is that?

A brain fart move by Ford to try and provide some torque with those wonderful 231cfm heads. 3/4 of the time they break cause they are plastic. Mine have been out for years. But basically with a dual port head the butterflies open at 3250 and provide a little help in the lower rpms and provide a decent top end.
