Default ls1 vs 99 Cobra

Well over Christmas a kid at my school got a car as a present, He got a 1999 Mustang Cobra with a CAI and an SLP catback. I was wondering how I would do against him because ever since he got the car all he has done is mouth me about how my poor lil 350 wouldnt be able to keep up He knows nothing about his car. I had to tell him it wasnt stock and the parts he had on it..... and its also an auto with 120000 mi. on it.

There are no automatic Cobras. You would beat him regardless, given your track numbers. And if it's an automatic GT... buttrape.

I think he really doesnt know what he has because from what he told me it was a 2000 and a 35th aniv. its yellow and an automatic.... is this just a mustang gt with rims and an intake? haha

If it's indeed a 2000 and a slushbox, it's no Cobra. Even if it was, you'd eat him alive. Call his bluff.

35th anniv would obviously be a '99, but in 2000, the only Cobra made was the Cobra R. And back to the regular Cobra in 01-03-04.

And I'd say GT if its an auto. Unless someone swapped an auto Mach1 tranny in the damn thing.

So an intake/exhaust 2v stang, full weight, with an auto.... should be good for a 14.0.

Looks like your car is plenty capable of squeezing a decent mid 12 second pass.

This should get ugly.

pssst.....look under the rear......IRs or SRA?

SRA + Auto + 2000 = GT

IRS + AUTO + 99 COULD = Cobra..but I doubt it wiht the auto.



NO MATTER what, you'll win..it's just a matter of how bad. LOL

Since he got it used it could have been a previous FI car that has an auto swap and then when the old owner got rid of it, took off the FI setup.?


Cobra intakes are 4V intakes and won't work on a 2V as far as I know.
