Everyone that drives those Cobra's suck complete *** at driving them anyway. I wouldn't be worried. Once in a blue moon do you find one with a good driver. Thats why they always want to go from a roll.....

It's all about the driver's skills =) Back when the 03's first came out i had my 98 Z-28 running in mid to high 12's, buddy of mine picked up one of those 03 Cobra's I walked him about 2-3 cars in a quater mile run, then he put a catback on it, i still beat him by about 1-2cars, then he finally put a K/N CAI on it, when he did this i would get him by a fender if not stay right beside him.
Anyways, you see my point.

Just curious why do you want to stay away from nitrous? You could run a 150 shot on top of that all day on pump gas and be very reliable still. This would also allow you to destroy a lot of cobras. And other fast cars with out spending a million dollars

your a joke. you would pull that cobra good if it were stock. I beat a bolton cobra with 340rwhp. the rule of thumb is that a 350rwhp fbody will be even with a 400rwhp cobra.
now as far as a pullied cobra? .... probally not

I'm an objective person, I don't think my car is the "be all and end all" when it comes to racing and beating OTHER cars. Give the car it's due.
And by the way, when it comes to racing, either at the track, from a roll on the freeway or even from a stop sign/stop light, the DRIVER MOD will make the difference. Even with two cars of equal "dyno numbers" there is an human factor/human error when driving.
So, I'm not a JOKE as you put it, just a bit more objective and can play devils advocate.

hell even a smaller shot of spray would do you could go with a 75 shot if your just looking to take on stock terminators but they respond very well to minor mods so be carefull......

You can murder a stock termi, you have more hp at the wheels, weigh 300-500lbs less, and your car is more aerodynamic. What makes you think you would get beat? Stock S/C cobras are slow and get beat by bolt-on ls1s all day long. The 03-04 cobras arent the supercars everyone makes them out to be, in all honesty they are waayyy too heavy and non-aero dynamic to hang with similar powered f-bods. Good luck finding a stock one though, unless its a girls car and maybe not even then.
