Here's the video for the Cobra guys who wanted it, from Orlando Speed World 3-7-07.

INFO:
GT: 03 Convertible non-IC Vortec S-trim, 4:30 gears, nothing else. (at OSW 13.2 @ 105)

Cobra: 98 full bolt-ons with 100-shot (said bottle was at 700psi) 3 guys in car.
( at OSW 13.6 @ 106)

Chase car: 4u 2 NV's 02 Z28, headers, Corsa, ported-TB, lid, crank pulley, and Ram HD clutch. We ran both and pulled both.

Someone doesn't know what the hell they're doing with that 98 Cobra. With full bolt ons (good gears 4.30+) that car N/A would have been deep into the 12s with tire, and a great launch. Add a 100 shot,and it would be DEEP into the 11s.

you do know the 98 cobra's were not supercharged right?

in the cobras defense he did have 3 people but my car pulled him by about 1 to 1 1/2 car lengths from 40-125

Yes, I know perfectly well that they were not supercharged. I also know exactly what these cars are capable of with the right driver, and in the right hands. I had more than a few SERIOUS mustang drag racer friends back in the day that had these. In fact, there was a rivalry going on between a handful of people to be the 1st to break into the 11's N/A with the stock motor. Guy I knew had a white 97 Cobra, full bolt ons with either 4.30 or 4.56 gears (can't remember which, it's been years) built rear end and drag radials. Launching at close to 7,000 rpm, clutch dumps was running DEEP into the 12s @110-113mph depending on run. Another guy that went by the name "Crimp" or something like that (he's known on all the Mustang boards maybe Unit or someone else can chime in) He eventually if my memory serves me correctly hit the 11s N/A motor untouched. Anyway, sorry for the rambling.....

I would have to see it to believe it. Especially if they are runnin 13.6 with mods. Hell a stock LS1 on street tires with the right driver will go into the 12's. You add mods & it gets deeper.

Never seen a older cobra N/A with the stock motor untouched run any quicker than a high 12 without power adder AKA nitrous.

Completely stock longblock (heads, cams, intake, and shortblock untouched), Just boltons, weight reduction, and traction. Its gone a tad faster than whats in the video now. Still stock longblock.

I would agree though with 100 shot and only running 13.6 somone needs to either give the driver of that cobra some driving lessons and/or some tires.

Yup, that's EXACTLY what Jason's (white 97 Cobra) runs looked like. He launched at close to redline (built rear end, locker). Do you remember a guy named "Crimp"? This goes back to probably 2001 or 2002. I can't remember what Jason's username was on Corral.net but anyone who was around back then would know him and Crimp.

BRIAN98Z28

Believe it man....I'm not a mustang guy by any means...but I'll admit a fast car when I see or know one. There were tons of guys who would look his car over at the track because they swore he had to have nitrous. I think the key to him running like that was the launch, and gears. When that thing launched it sounded like the wrath of god was unleashed or something, lol.

Well on corral his name was JMieres or something like that. He did have a white 97 cobra. He was one of the pioneers in the quest for a n/a cobra to run 11's. Although he didn't do it but he was one of the fastest for a long time. I think on those low 12 runs he mentioned he didn't powershift and still trapped 114mph. Plenty of mph for an 11. You still talk to him?

Yes the key is the launch. 6500 to 7100 rpm dumps, 4.56's and shift like a raped ape. But later years, n/a cobras had a much easier time running 11's with the new and improved head design. But everyone now wants to throw a power adder on and say they're fast. I guess I'm old school with a new school motor. -Mark

Yup, Mieres, that was his last name! I wasn't good friends with him, more aquaintences but we did go drag racing a few times at Cecil County back when I had my LT1. Glad someone else remembers him, hahaha. I remember it was between him and that guy Crimp...but Jason refused to powershift, we kept telling him to but he wouldn't for some reason. I haven't talked to him in YEARS. The people that I knew him through sort of got out of the car scene and moved back to KY where they were from. He'd probably remember me though, wonder what he is up to?

Thanks for the input bro, I appreciate it!

i was in the 98 cobra as a passenger it has stock gearing plus 20 " rims we had three people in the car and a sub woofer that problably weighs 200 pounds with the box ,and to help, his bottle pressure was at 700psi can' t say much about the track time except for it being his first time. we beat the blown gt by 1 car at least and he was by him self ,he's about to put on the mickeys and take out the speaker and hopefully we will hit better times

Video sucked but it's interesting they had a little grudge race similar to friends of mine here. A friend of mine has a 97 Cobra with a bottle, well had a bottle until the other day, has been wanting to run some local buddys with a 02 GT with a Vortech S Trim and Cams. They never seem to have working cars on the same night lol. The Cobra just traded the nitrous for a Procharger, so should be interesting whenever they finally run.

This GT of our buddies would be a lot quicker with an intercooler. plus its a vert so its kinda heavy and the 4.30s in it make it seem like he shifts 4 times for every time i shift once. i would guess with an intercooler and a real tune 350-360 RWHP isnt out of question.

this was from a roll also so it kinda takes that 7000 grand limiter side step launch out of the equation.
