Default 2011 5.0 vs Cobra R

Runs before I had the manifold and intake

5.0: Axle backs, O/R X, Tune

Cobra R: Bassani O/R X, Catback, CAI, Tune

35 roll:

Ricer fly by at the end

Forget what roll this was from, I believe a 50 or something which is too low for me:


Figured I'd throw these up. Not everyday you see an R racing on the street.

Cool races. Cobra R did decent considering the time gap between the cars/tech.

Nice run. Good to see a Cobra R running it on the street. Don't see that much.

What kind of power does this Cobra R make?

Decently, yes. When I was stock that R put it to me by 4 cars or so. I got gapped, hard.

Great run! The R is pretty rare car, never seen one in person.

It's pretty funny when he has the car out. People always walk by and wonder if it is real. At NMRA in 2014, they brought it, I can't even tell you how many people walked by it while we were next to the trailer and they would double check every thing and still say "Nah, it's a clone" LOL.

It's an awesome car to ride in and be around.

To bad you do not have any day time vids or pictures of the R. From what I remember, you always post night time runs with this car.

Next time he has it out, I'll grab some pics during the day. It's never really out during the day unless at events, and I'm usually too busy at events to take pictures of it. Here are a few I have, however.

*Shitty pictures from my old Note 3 inbound*


Probably the only R that's had a drag pack on it, LOL

I know we've talked about this before, but do you know how much that car would pick up with LTs? And is he running the stock 3.55s?

A good bit. Him and his dad talked to Stainless Works last week about sending them the car for a set of LT's to be made for it. Yes sir, stock 3.55's.

That car would SCREAM with LTs and steeper gears.

That's the plan, haha. He said he wanted to beat my car. He couldn't believe the difference those mods made on my car either. I went from losing by 3-4 lengths to pulling that car every time.

I believe they were talking about 4.10's or maybe even 4.30's.

We threw some old strange singles in right before going to the track. The tires were hard as a rock as they were ancient.

cai
ported intake
vmp tune
x pipes
flows
mark williams solid axle 8.8 with 4.56's
Slicks from 1998.
Older TKO

Launching off the fuel cut. Runs 11.30 @ 120 on motor.




Cobra R's are awesome at everything honestly. Very cool to drive, cruise next to or run. My friend has been very kind as to let me drive it a few times. The power band is great, feels like a turbo car.

Good to see people flogging on them. I will say though, prob the most expensive oil change ever. Like 8 quarts of 20w50.
