Theres a guy in town with an older Rustang GT that he said got turned into a Cobra. All I know of that it has under the hood is Cold Air Intake and Aluminuim Pulleys... How would my 1994 A4 T/A match up to this in a drag?

depends on what gear ratio he has I would say...probably you though...

If it's a year specific cobra, I don't think those were all that special, but I don't know all that much about mustangs. Other than stock ones are slow in comparison to T/As (save the newer Cobras and Saleen)

You should easily be able to beat him. Especially if its a fox body. Hell I've even beaten an '04 Cobra who had cat-back and CAI and I dogged him reallllllllllllllllll bad. Its all about the '60 and gettin out the hole

if its not an 03-04 cobra you have nothing to worry about

Since its a clone, (GT with badges) you should take him from any year. As far as a real Cobra (96+) it would take you especially considering your gearing.

I own both so I know what each will do

The DOHC's will scoot, I can back that one. A guy around here has an early 2000's Cobra, it's not Supercharged, and it can go for what it is..

I think its a DOHC

Your gonna have some trouble then. Those 2.73s are gonna hurt you.

Well Im going to buy either some 3.73 or 4.10 GM gears when I buy my Loudmouth and Hypertech Power Programmer, so what kind of chance will I have after those are installed?

LT1Z

I personally would not put my money into a hypertech (widely accepted as junk) or the Loudmouth if you ever plan on headers. You would do alright with the gears though, assuming the cobra is stock. Most of the DOHC cars first mod is usually a 4.10 gear, which really helps those cars because they make power pretty high in the rpm's. I say if the cobra has full exhaust, cai and gears, he will take you. Good luck though!

What would be the problem with the Loudmouth and headers?

You should easily get him out of the hole. If you go from a roll, he may start to pull you up top. My DOHC Cobra loves to rev. The biggest disadvantage the 96-98 and 99 & 01 Cobras have are there 3.27 gears.

For an A4, the Hypertech has some useful functions. However, you would be better served by purchasing a real tuner package such as LT1Edit or Tunercat.
If you change gears, you will have to have the tuner software to program the PCM. I recommend Tunercat, even though I have LT1Edit.
Tunercat has more functionality, and is still supported. LT1Edit is not.

Not sure how u turn a GT into a cobra when it has a completely different engine...if it has a DOHC 96-01 engine they generally run right w/ LT1's w/ them being a bit quicker...and if its a sohc engine it all depends on the year...98 and below are slow, 99 ups run similar to LT1's.
