Anyone raced a 03'-04' Cobra on the street yet. Well I got my first chance last night after this guy did a fly by on me. I was driving home from dinner last night with the GF and this gut kept driving at 50mph in like third gear so i jumped on him, then we stopped at a light and talked. He said he didn't have traction(which i dont either) so i sugested a 10mph roll. He agreed and off we went! I whooped his *** from 10-120 by about 2.5-3 lengths. Couldn't have been a better night. He said he was stock, however he had atleast a catback. Damn those supercharchers really whine!

 

awsome kill....for so little mods....

 

What kinda car are you driving? Sounds like the dood needs some driving lessons...

 

i saw this new fangled mach 1 in the parking deck at work? mustang it has a plastic ram air looking thing, anyone know if they are fast or furious?

 

Mach 1's are quick, I've heard of some running high 12's stock. The 03-04 Cobras, Yeah, I race daily and I only have gotten beat once, and it was by an '04 Cobra, He romped my *** wide open FYI. Pulled about 3 cars on me in no time. I only dyno'd about 330 though.

 

Mach 1s are quick? Maybe compared to a stock civic. I know plenty of stock LS1s that have beat Mach 1s time and again.

 

Are you sure that was an 03-04 Cobra? From a dig you don't have a chance unless he can't drive. It gets even worse going from a roll. I would bet it was a 99+ cobra that you ran.

 

I dont think 99 Cobras had this unless he had a bad serpentine belt.

 

Good kill. Haven't gotten to race a snake yet.

 

are you talking about the shaker? And i ran into an 03 cobra when my car was still stock. Whooped me pretty bad. All i had was a lid.......

 

My very first race at Jax Raceway in my truck was against an 03' cobra with less than 1000 miles on it. Granted he was still learning how to drive it, but I still beat him by half a truck length. I ran a 8.8? and he ran a 8.9?. With a good driver it would have beat me, unless i spray.

 

I raced an '03 Cobra last week on the highway. We started in third gear and by the end of fourth I was at least 1 1/2 cars ahead of him and still pulling. I pulled up next to him again this week and he didn't want to get beat again.

I sell Fords, the Cobras drive really well but they weigh too much. I can see how just a few mods on a Cobra would make a big difference. Mach 1's have the '99 - '01 Cobra DOHC motor with 305 HP. They are no match for any LS1.

 

i have a buddy with one, he has a cold air, nitto drags,short throw shifter,upgraded blower pulley (15lbs boost),true duals x pipe no cats, and a flip chip, one for his nitrous and the other for when he's not running it..The car runs like CRAP when he is on nitrous he is going to bow it up im sure. He smokes my *** daily. yes those huffers are loud but after his dual setup you cant hear it anymore it sounds like damn open headers!!! I gotta grow a serious pair and spend some cash to keep up with him.

 

id have to say the original poster has enough mods to edge out a stockish 03-04 cobra.nice job!


as far as mach 1s running 12s stock highly unlikely.theyre considerably slower than an m6 fbody.a4 3.23 ls1 and a mach is a good matchup.

 

Yep, sure does. Still...as we say in the street racing forum..."a kill is a kill" and "anything can happen on the street".

...and yes, I have raced an '03 Cobra. They are not invincable, but can be pretty quick. You're best bet is from a dig. Pulling a modded one from a roll is going to be difficult.

edit: The very first pass I made at the track was only a 13.6. It just happened to be the first time I raced an M6 at the track too. My two left feet were on the brake the majority of the time. The moral of the story is that cars sometimes aren't driven to their full potential. Fortunately I can drive it a tad better now. I'm looking to shave off about 3 seconds off that 13.6 this spring.

Happy hunting!

 

Even if the guy was a bad driver pulled in every gear! Clutches fully engaged, petals to the floor and just holding on i pulled. By the way my most recent track time was.....
a 13.08 @113.56 a 2.314 60' and a .538 reaction. Horrible traction with the F1's.

 

But the MPH was pretty good??????

 

If you could hear the blower then that means he had a CAI or something because when there stock you can harley hear the whine from the blower.When my WS6 was stock with just a lid I walked 2 stock 03 cobras from a roll.

A guy from the cobra forums just ran a best of 12.8 @ 108 with ET streets and a CAI with an 04 cobra.Just goes to show that not all of them run mid 12s stock.

 

I've seen Z06's run 14.0's at the track. I wonder what J-Rod would do in it...maybe an 11.9x? I'm saying only that you should be careful with '03 Cobras. They can be a monster. A 13.08 isn't going to cut it against most stock ones even.

Definitely a nice kill though. The guy was probably thinking WTF?

 

Not necessarily, the stock 3.65 pulley makes the blower whine loud enough to hear over a catback system at WOT...from inside or outside the car. Maybe your own exhaust drowned out the whine?

Especially when they are brand new. They get quicker after some miles get put on them...as do LS1's.
