unit probably is a hell of a driver I know this kid cant drive he even said it him self and even if he figured out how to drive it by next week, I dont think it will be well enough for him to beat me.

No way he has 600 rwhp. Guys have problems hitting the 600 barrier with ported/pullied full bolton cobras. Definetly BS on that one.

I guess that was his comeback for the look on my face when he said he paid 27,000 for it I dont know if cobras run that much but damn give me a nice f-ody 7000 and let me put the other 20 in mods and some other stuff.

I don't think anyone has ever hit 600rwhp with a ported blower...even
with cams, more cubes, full bolt ons, etc. It takes a blower upgrade,
nitrous, or a turbo(s). Some don't even hit 500rwhp with a ported blower.

You should have enough based on your sig unless the other driver is better than you or you are EXTREMELY overweight.

You have to remember the 03-04 Cobras are rare, therefore, the price is what it is. I think they may have about 10-12,000 units produced that are on the roads. Before I bought my G8, I couldn't find a Cobra with low miles for less than 25K. So I picked up the G8 with 4500 miles for 24K.

I would think he meant at the crank. Hell, even with a Whipple or KB ported with a pulley swap would be hard to hit 600. It may be close, but not 600 to the wheels.
