me and my friend are pretty much just like that race he got 450 -460 in a cobra and i got 353 and he pulls on me top end.......gotta admit it makes you smile whgen you know that the cobra is 30 grand and youve got a 10grand car (on average my car )..keeping up with it...not to metion n/a vs s/c and small block vs. big block good run
If he's pulling you on the big end, you ain't keepin up with ****.

ugh I can already see this turning into the same **** over on svt performance ... yes we all know his car is faster my point in this video was that I feel I kept up very well for the power levels, who care if he reeled me in hard, when it comes down to it he had me by 1 maybe 2 car lengths at the end of the quarter mile and im making 100hp less?

This is the second video that I've seen on here that has a pulley'd modded Cobra, going up against a lightly modded F-Body. The last video was of a WS6keeping up with some 500whp Cobras off a roll, and now this one.
All in all, I can see that you did keep up rather well. Yes, you did loose, and always will, due to the drastic hp and tq differences. I can only relate this to the fact that the F-Body IS lighter especially considering the fact that the fat vert has about 400lbs on you, give or take? On the second run you can see how you killed him from the dig, probably partially due to his not-so-thought out IRS system.
I'd be proud too if my car kept up that good to a car with more horsepower (yet a lot more weight too tho) If your power levels were similar, I think you'd clearly win.

Meh it goes both ways, Cobras can be setup for drag too with a solid rear axle, steep gear and big *** sticky tires. The "what ifs" are pointless. The Camaro launched and pulled hard through the first 660ft or so as expected with a 4:30 gear but the Cobra raped it on the top-end, also as expected. From what it looks like the Camaro slammed on the brakes as soon as the Cobra passed in a few of the races. Also I heard when they raced from a roll the Cobra was ahead by A LOT. I clicked on the other videos and that same Cobra was neck and neck with a cammed Z06, which means it ain't no slouch.

That's such a ricer argument, let me build a 10 second IROC or Fox body and rape Z06s and brag about it. Anything can be made fast, comparing what you paid for your old *** car to what 03-04 Cobras cost brand new is a dumb statement.

how is that a dumb statement was all that i was saying is that you dont need an expensive car to go fast... like you dont need to drop big bills to keep up with a cobra...or any fast cars from factory that are in my opinion expensive. cobras and im not bashing them ....i was just stating a race that i had...

Yhea true leave him the **** alone, Its not his fault that the bigger, better, badder, Cheaper, Ls1 Camaro or Trans am doesnt need as much **** to go as fast. And its not the same as a civic vs a z06, because civics are cheaply made, and have chinsy interior. A camaro or T/A's interior is just as nice if not nicer than any mustang, and there quality keeps up with the "all mighty cobra" as well. Plus the fact is he admitted he LOST, he was just trying to share insight to the situation so chillax.
