Good death OP. It is kind of odd how your auto seemed to be faster. I'm sure after you through a cam in your car the race will be a little different
i dont think i will need a cam, just some full bolt ons should even up the race, thats if he dosent get pullied by then like hes talking about

I thought there was supposed to be a guard around the stock pulley? And it is removed when you change the pulley size?

Very true, hopefully he wont change anything and you should be a lot better run with some more bolt ons.

You typically can't use the stock guard with an upper pulley change because most of the time you add an aux idler for more belt wrap around the upper pulley (helps prevent belt slip)... the guard wont fit if there is an aftermarket aux idler installed.

Why is the pulley cover off?

Has your friend owned this car since new or did he buy it used?

That's how mine was. I got mine from a dealership with a stock pulley and no gaurd. It was probably pullied before I got it.

His car must run strong then or yours isn't running up to par. I'm just saying from MY experience that's how a pullied Cobra beat me. If you had full bolt ons like your auto I doubt it'll pull harder than how the Cobra pulled, so that's why I'm thinking he was pullied or had at least an intake.

You know it might look stock, but I was just thinking.... HE MIGHT HAVE A LOWER PULLEY!!!! People do that around my area... It'll look COMPLETELY stock, but they'll have a lower pulley. That's what he had to have... Also, it seemed like he did put about 7-8 cars on you.

Good to know. For the Cobra guys, is there a quick and easy way to tell a non-stock pulley? Any pics to show the difference?

Also, I wonder who would win between a stock Terminator and a stock new Camaro SS?

They're both pigs but I'd bet on the SS.

Anyone know of any that have made it out to the track?

So he trapped 116.9 with a stock pulley? If so that is very strong for a stock pullied car.

Yeah that seemed a little strange to me too.

So now you're talking stock C5 Z06 trap speeds with just a catback?

Maybe something's been done to the Cobra that the owner is not telling (tune?) or isn't aware of (lower pulley?).

Has anyone else seen a Cobra with just a catback mph that high?

If he traping 117mph (110-112 stock) he has a lower pulley and his car is good for low 12's high 11's while your car is only good for a low 13 at best with your mods. Vid looks right now....

Why does he have to have a lower pulley? I've seen a catback push an 03/04 Cobra over the 400rwhp mark a few times. My car put down 441rwhp 431rwtq and I ran 7.2 in the 1/8 mile. I'm assuming that would be around 11.3 or 11.4 in the 1/4.

My point being that with a catback, this guy very well could be over 400rwhp. I'm at 441rwhp and run low 7s I'm sure his can run high 7s.

It just doesn't make since for people to say "he HAS to have a pulley!!!" There’s other options here other than “ITS PULLIED!” It could be ported with stock pullies, could have a tune with stock pullies, could have nitrous, or it could just be that IT RUNS GOOD! Come on, why does everyone get into the whole “oh no, there’s something up with that car… there’s no way its stock!” It is what it is. If the guy is hiding something, then it looks like he’s doing a damn good job at it. Now let’s all play detective and speculate what else is done to the car

I bet it has nitrous, gears, ported blower, 8lb lower, and a tune

id bet on the cobra. the camaro is a bit heavier and both cars probably make about the same crank hp. id give the edge to the cobra but who knows.

if he traps 116 with a pulley boy needs to learn how to drive. the other thing in the video that make me think there is no pulley and definately no lower pulley is the ta hangs with it through a gear or so. a lower pulley set up makes big torque and would have yanked that t/a right off the hit.

My guess: Stage 19 ported blower, lower pulley, 350 hit of the juice, and 4.56 gears ohh and a mini tub with 335's



my question to op is, why'd you sell the other car and buy this one? when the other one was bolt-on stalled and ran just fine didnt it?

this one has some worn rear gears and not full bolt ons
