You'll win...

How good are you at launching and grabbing gear's?
If it's second nature you will win, on all of those run's.
If not, you may have your hand's full.

Thanks sounds like a close race my launchin is fine but i havent with 275s i have 245 right now and i try to launch 3000-3500, spin too much but hopefully 275's will be better will try to get 285 or 295 Thanks for u help..anyone else?

How do you guys launch at 3500??!?! I go up in smoke off an idle and i KNOW my motor isnt that mean, i slipped the clutch from 2K one time and jsut sat there spinning help? I mean, i take off mean, jsut from and idle, lol. As to the race, you have more bhp/# just outdrive him

MillaTK

I would think it would be relatively close, but think you should have the advantage... good luck

You'll definatly win, those N/A 4.6's were DOGS!!

at the track i would half way let the clutch out till the tires caught a about 3300 rpm's and then would let it all the way out once they hooked

BLKWS.6

a geared 4valve cobra, NA or not is not a dog...sorry. I would say he is putting down around 280-290 rwhp or so. He should be able to mirror the times you got with your 02 SS in your sig quite easily.

You mean a 4.10-4.30 gear'd cobra is not a dog. The 3.73's aint helping **** from 3.55's.

Matt SS

Id hope he could do better than my car with those mods, but there was a reason ford SUPERCHARGED that motor. So it could run with the Z06!

wider tires don't mean ****....its the compound...Get some drag radials, prefereably MT ET Streets on some stock rims (275-40-17) and put them on for the race, then you will have no problem beating him.

Race him at 30MPH to see what happens, it should be a good race because he has some mods and you are almost stock. I think you will take him.

bad95killer

It should be a close race man except if ya have a Driver MOD

peace

Any idiot that only puts 3.73's in a n/a cobra deserves to loose. From a roll (any mph) you'll win. His only chance is from a dig but still once you get around 40-50mph you'll pull on him. My guess is he is probably a mid 13 sec car on radials (non DR). Not all n/a 4.6's are dogs. -Mark

Keep us posted...good luck! My $ would be on the TA, but it should be very close.

Thank you all for ur help and support, i felt the same way but now im more confident... i was makin fun of his car allday yesterday, hes a frirend so i know hell take it as a joke, ... he thought i only put down 260-270 HP and TQ at the wheels if GM rated me 305/315... but when i showed him the Dyno sheets of my 2000 M6 TA STOCK before LID and only Cutout, it read 321HP/330TQ, his tone of voice changed and was like how are u doin that, and that i must not be tellin him of some mods, but hes still sure hell kill me, i think ill take him and after that take some of his money and make him sell his car and convert his *** to a LS1!

As long as that rebuild wasn't a big bore, stroker or both, you should be fine. The 4V motor with more displacement can be pretty nasty even with the stock gear.

hey I have 3.73's on my cobra? whats the big deal!

00TAProject

You should inch him out....From a dig he will take half or a full car length(If you dont break)...Get ya some Nitto DR's 315-40-17's......Warm'em up and run like hell!!! You should be able to launch fairly hard and not loose to much ground....
From a Roll.....at 30 I would be in 2nd...maybe 1st. But from 70 I would go from 3rd.....
Have fun!!
