+1. The Cobra and the LT1 are a drivers race when stock. A cammed LT1 is going to walk all over the poor snake.

big hammer

96 cobras can do 0-60

LMAO

If OP is in the Cobra, he's gonna have a bad day.

If the Cobra has good tire and 4.10 or better gears, it'll be a good race.... a good 60' race that is. Freight training after that.

Joe Soucy

im in neither car..lol i feel like a cammed 95 TA A4 only has like at most 330hp and the cobra is stock 305 but with intake and exhuast plus a tune its gotta be around 320 dont ya think?

Joe Soucy

what would need to be done to the cobra for it to be a good race or atleast pass up the TA... just curious lol

^^^^^Have it make more power.

Joe Soucy

obviosuly lol but what mods should be done to the cobra for it to beat the TA

AWPer

Easiest would probably be a 100 shot.

I disagree. Once you learn how to drive one the Cobra would beat the LT1 anything stock even the C4. Top end

Full length headers with x pipe,430s,drag radials,31 spines and carrier,under drive pulley,modified and cut intake manifold,aluminum ds and not speed shifting with drag radials

The fact that the lt1 has a cam will make a good race. I can say from experience I was pleasantly surprised how well a LBO cobra around that year kept up with my bolt on lt1 WS6. Was a great close race

Mike Morris

LT1 has a cam but no mention of a stall or tune. It might not run that well

TA should make 310-320rwhp. Cobro should make 260-270rwhp. I say TA by 5 or 6 cars from a dig or low roll.

Great point. Unfortunately that is the case for many people now able to pick up these cheaper lt1 cars and fbodies in general.

Just dont get many solid setups

This feels *** backwards, normally I am defending the Ford. Most of the time, the Cobra was running 14.0@100, with hero runs in the 13.7 range. The Fbody was right in that same range and the Y body was a little bit quicker.

It will need Jesus

Damn...Mike. You do you know your **** about Furds. Could not have said it better. Almost sounded like you were a fan at one time. jk

Many have gone wayyy faster with one. Mid to low 13s back in the day was possible in the NE. I seen LT1s hit 13.6 102 ish in C4s. Mike Smith,Bob Cosby,Evan Smith,Barry Shepard,Jerry Green,N20 Pete all went 13s stock with Cobras. They are way undergeared and you have to shift them right before the limiter. It took me a long time to figure one out and Bob was a good help with them for me on the Corral. For some reason the 98s seem a tad faster. Of course Bob went really fast with a 99 but that is a different story. I do not know why or have an explanation.

I have owned a Mustang since 1992. I worked,raced,driven a lot of 96-98 Cobras. I really want Hammer's 1996 Mystic bad.
