I've raced one 03 Cobra back in October back when I had 366rwhp @ 351 rwtq. He had stock exhaust and at most a CAI as I could hear his blower whining pretty good. He was by himself and my Dad 250+ lbs was riding shotgun with me. We went from 80+ mph rolls and he pulled 1/2 car on me to the top of 4th. On the second round I did the same to him from the same speeds. We were so close it came down to who got the better jump.
PS I had all the mods in my sig when I raced minus the QTEC but the reason my power was so low was because I had a 3" Car Chemistry Baffle inside my I pipe that was choking the hell out of my engine although it did take away all the raspiness. By manually opening up my cutout I gained 33rwhp @ 34rwtq. I would have loved to have had that QTEC on at that race time as the Cobra would have been seeing my CME and that's all!
Red lines were my power levels when I raced the 03!

well just to share a little info from the other side of the fence.....i have seen a bone stock cobra go 12.50's at 112 and i have seen them run 13.30's,all in the driver.have heard of faster cobras stock but just havent seen it with my own eyes.
on the machs i can testify that bone stock with a drag radial mine went 12.97 at 106.56 and with street tires went low 13's all trhe time.a couple peaple i know went high 12's bone stock in there machs.
i have yet to loose to a stock ls1 car!!!not saying it wont happen but havent been unlucky enough to loose yet.
isnt it funny how the ls1 guys with stock or close to stock setups say they never loose to the machs and the machs say they never loose to the ls1 guys.makes you wonder who's lying.

yea that sounds about right.
also like unit was saying anything can happen on the street.i beat a car that runs 11.60's on the street but no traction took the horsepower equation out of it.

It seems safe to say that a full bolt-on Ls1 is a good ( close ) race for a stock 03-04 Cobra. Not an Ls1 with a lid and Flowmaster, sorry OCSSleeper. I wish it were the other way around
