Love the SN95 style cobras. I BARELY see that style in a cobra especially. I think there are more terminators around me than SN95's. They are turning into the "third gen" F-bodies around here. Not many nice ones left, and a ton in the junk yards. I'm glad you went with silver cobra-R's too. You have no idea how sick I get of seeing chrome cobra-R's on every mustang ever built (3 of the 4 or so freinds of mine with mustangs have chrome cobras) . It's a nice wheel, no doubt, but I myself much prefer a dished mesh style wheel instead.

Good death OP. Great right up! I am still laughing. I had an 03 Cobra...I never really got to see its full potential...I got rid of it ASAP...I couldn't afford to keep it out of the shop...and it only had a CAI, and magna-flow cat back. It did move out tho..especially from a roll

I wouldn't worry about it then... I would guess 400Rwhp max without a very good curve. I could be wrong though, I'm not a mustang guru by any means.. Just enough to get me by.

Meh me either. My guess was going to be somewhere around 450rwhp. But **** if that's the case then I'm gonna have to call him out as soon as my car is somewhat complete lol.

A '03-'04 Cobra IS a SN95 Mustang.

A buddy of mine has a 10th anniv. Cobra vert. He had intake and exhaust, then he bought an Evo 9...because he was tired of always looking at the tail lights of my Evo 9 haha. He realized it'd take a pretty decent hunk of change to get em set-up properly, he's tryin to sell it now.

A stock '03-'04 Cobra would butt-**** a stock EVO IX. Add simple mods to both, and it's still a raping...

Oh absolutely I agree stock for stock, it's obvious. My Evo wasnt really too crazily modded at that time, pretty simply modded. Just very mild cams, intake, exhaust, meth injection, 3.5" fmic with piping, stock turbo at 32psi, everything else was stock except for those few boltons. Basically walked out on anything I ever raced. Car definitely dropped plenty of jaws. Stock clutch didnt like those mods though leme tell ya lol. Never was able to get a proper launch (6000rpm 2-step) in with those mods on stock clutch.

I raced cars that were equally modded to mine, which is your basic boltons. Hell I raced my friends SN95 vert, which was fully built running a vortech s-trim at 13psi and he did beat me by about a car.

Why would I take my high 11 second car and race a 9 second car?

Which is why I removed that part, I didnt notice the trap speed till after I posted.

It seemed as if you were boasting about never been beaten by anything you ever raced. Therefore I told you to race something that had some *****. There are PLENTY of cars out there (even stock cars) that will walk all over a high 11 car with sub 115mph traps.
