Default Got Me A Cobra Tonight !!!!!!!

So my boy got a Cobra, and has been hounding me to run ever since. Well tonight he Texts me and asks me why I have "been ducking him". I tell him to come over and we will see whats up. So I really think Its going to be a close race and it was. I ran him on motor the first time and it was too close for Comfort, but I won By like a car. So I turn on the Kit (Just a 50 Shot)And we run a few more times and I get him by like 2 to 3 cars every time. I must admit I had my T-tops off and that dam Supercharger Screaming at me had me checking my mirror more than I should have been!!!

Just think how much that car cost with that slow a$$ motor and a power adder has to be added just to keep up. LoL Not bad for a vehicle they discontinued four ago.

Are you kidding me? Dude heads and cam cars are a close race for cobras with LIGHT bolt-ons. Not to mention the "slow *** motor" you speak off can hold 1000rwhp stock. Get a clue man.

If its so fast why does it need a supercharger from the factory. Those cars are quick but not with that price tag.

It's an excellent motor for a FI setup so they took advantage of it since it's hard to get much out of a 4.6 n/a. That motor design has seen 6s in the 1/4.

I drive an LS1 and im sorry but you are wrong. Full bolt on 03/04's can do 470-480HP/500+TQ. And when they spend that 400 bucks to port the blower that quickly becomes 500+rwhp. And they only weight about 100 pounds then your average F-Bod.

since when did LS1s tip the scale at 3700#s or more? Cobras are much heavier than LS1s

Didn't your little Cam only car only run a 12.2 at Ennis also?? I think that is right.. If a 500rwhp Cobra couldn't run that then the driver sucks ***, Hell My 320rwhp Stock Motor Mach1 has ran 12.0's at Ennis..

How bad do they suck N/A.. I have seen H/C/I Mach1's put down 460rwhp & 376rwtq on a 304CI DOHC Mod. Motor.. I would say that isn't too bad for only 304ci's.. You probably think they suck because you don't ever see any of them with head work, cams, and a fr500 intake on them.. It just cost so damn much and most people would rather spend that money on a supercharger or something. The intake cost a little over $3K, head work is a $1K, then $1.5K for the cams/springs.. Not including the installation for everything.. Thats alot of damn money, but you can make alot of hp, it will just cost you..
