So I bumped into a buddy I havnt seen in 3 years...I ask do you still have the 98 Cobra with the s/c? He says yes, im like I picked up a 99 z28 and told him I wanted to run him, he laughs and says "you better bring more than that"... He's not aware of the ls1 and told him they have 300rwhp stock and he had a shocked look on his face...I told him it had boltons baby cam etc. and he was still like bah! He was like, well my Cobra has 400whp blah blah blah. He running a 4V motor intercooled ATI at 8 psi upgraded injectors, mass air, headers, bassani exaust on 245 street tires.

What do you guys think the outcome will be? I think I will definitly toast his *** from a dig but a roll will be close.

Depends on hooking but should be close. If he can hook he will have a better 60ft time then you.

I cant see a M5 with 400whp hooking up good on street tires....

I know a guy who has a ati procharged 98 with boltons and it put down 460 to the wheels and skated its way into the 11's. With that said he not do anything but spin...

Depends on the setup. Some street tires with good suspension setups hook nicely. What tires are you running on the street? Nothing sayd you will hook better than him if he is a good driver.

wow, dude, you are seriously one cocky bastard. lol, no offense, i love my f-bods, i have 2 of em, but a nicely set up 4v with a blower will move out pretty nice. and some street tires are almost as sticky as DR's.

How is it you think street tires are almost as sticky as DR's?

supernova1972

Well nothing said his street tires arnt dr's also. And blowing past him with a wheelie? Yeah right. He has more chance of doing that than you do with a blown 4v.

well i may have been stretching it a little but some dr's are not as good as others and some street tires have decent grip

supernova1972

No way dude. He has an ls1 with a hotcam, he pulls wheelies on dr's, cant you read.

Are the motors in the 98 cobras the same as a mach 1?

Similar. slightly different flow rates in the heads and intake and the cams are a little different but similar power and similar performance in a car with the same weight and worse gearing. ponygt65 will come in here and put in his buck fifty and he really does know more about these cars than I do

supernova1972

As mentioned slightly worse heads and cams but it is still prob over 400whp. Maybe more if he has all supporting mods.

Yes im aware you guys with your 450whp+ cars would beat me, but his car only has 400whp...

wow your cockiness went down a ton, what happened? im just messin with you though man, there are a ton of ford guys in here so you just gotta watch how you talk about fords, i personally am also a die hard chevy guy, have never owned a ford and never will, but i wont say **** about them on this forum.

supernova1972

Similar weight, he has better gearing and more gears to stay in his powerband. He could quickly make up for any spinning off the line. I dont see why you are being so cocky about it, his car should beat yours. Close but a 400whp 4v>360-370whp ls1. 4v's with bolt ons/gears run low 12s. So add 100hp to that.
