Take it to the track and come back with some times. You should be in the low 13's maybe 12's with 3.73's, exhaust and intake. If it's greatly slower it's hurt in some way.

Dude your car to begin with should trap several MPH over his. My car with a lid M6 draged a 104mph car from a 20 (spun pretty bad), and 40 roll with the car running shitty. Your car with the bolt ons it has and the tune should walk past it. Take it to the track if it traps **** MPH, do a leak down test.

Edit: OR the guy can easily be spraying and just not saying anything, which is something needed in the ford world.

OP is probably just having a little fun here. lol

Both of these... the best times I've ever heard from stock '99-'01 Cobra were right around 13.4 @ 103mph. With a great driver it should be very close with a stock A4/2.73 LS1 F-body, but from a roll or when the F-body has gears and LTs it really should be no contest.

Dude pretty simple anything below 30 mph just put the car in 1 once you stomp it just click it into D. Anything above 30 mph start in 2 and when you stomp it put it in D.

14K..there is nothing wrong with your car or your driving. Don't let the haters on this forum make you feel like sh*t. The fact that a "Ford" gave you a run for your money is the reason for all the hate on your thread. Don't pay no attention to these guys....just mod up and go run him again. No shame in losing.

Just remember..you are on LS1Tech and the hate for Mustangs preceeds all logical thinking so don't expect anything more than crap talking from your fellow GM guys.

When you run him again..get it on vid and maybe some of the more "rational" guys on here can give you an idea on what is going on.

So you're implying the results of this race are normal?

Whoaaaaaaa chief.....NOT implying anything! I am not going to start another one of those arguments and ruin another thread. I will leave that up to you guys.

Just stating that hating on this guys is not the answer...maybe a little constuctive criticism would be more useful to him. In additon, making him think that he will beat every Mustang he comes into contact with is not the best advise either.

It has nothing to do with it being a "Ford" like you stated in your first comment. Looks like you're the one looking to start that argument not us.

I'd honestly say that if you're able to lay the smackdown on some healthy, stockish ls1 cars that you should have no problem beating a stock Cobra. So either something of your has broken, or he's hiding something. Those are the only two explanations.

OP,

There is something going on with your car, you should absolutely with out a doubt have no trouble beating on a stock 99 cobra with all your mods.... even if he were to get a jump.
