Yes 500rwhp car should run faster but in the same restrospect give me your rwhp#'s and I'm sure I'd run low 11's. See what I mean? It's all relative. Your 4 tenths faster than me with over 113rwhp more? Should I be impressed on your ET? Not knocking you or your car but just saying look at all the variables before making a blanket statements. -Mark
500 rwhp in a cobra = 12s thats why they are

I have a friend with an 03, his best ET so far is a 12.0. He runs consistent 118mph with a best of 123 and the car put down 470 at the rear wheels.
If I am not mistaken he has a pulley, exhaust, TB, and a custom tune.
He is on MT drag radials 60ft times are ok usually in the 1.8's.
Met a guy at the dyno today with an 04, same mods and on Nitto's. Just for comparison he put down 468 today, his mph is consistently 121-122 and his 60 ft times are in the low 1.6's. He powershifts the car and leaves the line dumping the clutch at 5 grand. Best et is an 11.40.
These cars are heavy 3900 lbs. I never cared much for the Mustangs but they do put down some serious #'s off the showroom floor. The
driver makes all the difference in the world on these cars from what I can tell.

Your car is not that hard of a runner with gears and a 150 shot,IMO.
I don't see why you have so much cockyness towards Cobras.
Most would hand your *** to ya. 11.6's are not that quick IMO.
Especially on the bottle.

I think your lucky to live in a area that only has a few FAST Cobras then.
Really with only a 114 trap speed i would think you would have a lot more trouble with them.
As most with just a pulley /CAI,reflash will(can/should)easily trap much higher than that.
And that is what really matters on the streets. And the trap speeds are more impressive at the track than a quick e/t,IMO.
I have run mid to low 12's at only 106 before ,with a few issues . To me that is not too impressive. Yes my car comes out of the hole REAL nice,but with low mph.
With no more than Exhaust,stall and a 75 shot i have run 11.62@117 1.56 60ft on drls. I still respect Cobras for what they are.
That's my whole point,why all the hatred?
I know it is going to take a LOT of mods(MONEY) to get my LS1 trapping around 130 like some nicely set-up 03's are doing.
That's impressive in my opinion.
Yes i can run high 10's with my bottle ,but not much more without lots more money thrown into the old SS.
END of rant.
Like anything else in life,this is only MY opinion.

Around here trap speed means nothing to your 1/4 mile time since all our street races we have some one mark off the 1/4 mile and who ever gets there first takes the money .
We dont ever do it from a roll . or race farther than that.
My car traps that in 80 degree weather, and i dont even have a pulley or a cutout yet.
