If your on a tire, I don't think it will be a problem.

you should have no problems at all whooping on pullied cobras


When they get whippled or equipped with a kenne bell youll need heads and cam to **** them up.


A nice 3600-4000 converter would do wonders for your car

I believe you will take him, just watch out because he could have a ported blower which could make another 50+ rwhp and you will never know. Or he could have a lower pulley that could add 4lb or 6lb of boost, which is good for more power also. Or he might have both.

Do you trap 118-123mph? If not, grab some lube cause you're gonna need it.

if he is on street tires and you are on drag radials.. from a dig, you wont need spray..

from a roll.. thats a different story..

just go from a dig and spray.. as long as you hook it wont be much of a race..

brake before 120..

The Cobra's(03/04)that I have seen trap about 112-115mph.Like I said if you spray you have him.If you dont...you better out drive him.Motortrend got a 13.0@111 out of the 2010 Camaro SS also

I agree...but you got to take into account he is not stock either.If he can drive and weather permitting...he will run deep into the 12's and trap high.

Yeah I see what your saying. Still though a pullied/bolt-on Cobra on street tires is gonna have his hands full on the launch.


O.P., your next mod should be a stall!
