Nismo Juke is a 15.0@95 car bone stock and bolt on's/tune will really wake them up, plus a roll favors the FWD turbo car. On top of that, they don't make 3.90 gears for the Cobra, so it's likely a 3.73.

**** those were some ugly cars.

That 5.0 vs 370z race was over before it started and could of been settled playing grand turismo.
Just cause it looks fast does not mean it is. Ask the scion frs crowd lol

Also, are you really going to try and defend the 4V?

Juke would have had the same outcome vs an LT1 Fbody, do you consider the Fbody to be an embarrassment? Most any modern turbo car will be a threat to a mostly stock NA cobra or LT1 Fbody. No shame, just built in different eras.

Ouch, that one hurt...thanks Nick lol. Also JC, I thought motive made 3.90 rear gears for the 8.8?

I stand corrected. Most just run the 4.10.

Turdinator

Yeah, I know went with 4.10s or 3.73s in all my previous mustangs because you couldn't get FRPP 3.90s, but motive had you covered if you were willing.

assasinator

most run any gear they want. there are a myriad of gear ratios for the 8.8 ford.

2.26, 2.47, 2.73, 3.08, 3.27, 3.31, 3.45, 3.55, 3.73, 4.10 & 4.56, 4.88, 5.14

look, a terbo will beat anything. its the terbo winning, not the vehicle.

is it an embarrassment to lose to a 900fwhp civic? teh cobro is dated tech. he and all the rest of the cobro crowd need to follow DD's example. put a 99,01 cobro intake on it or just a cover and TB elbow.

MACHXLR8

Good races...You could see the Juke fall back on the top end even though it ran hard down low. I am sure the boost is also turned up with the tune on that Juke.

surprised on how close the race was with the juke. also shorter gears on a 370z wakes them up from a dig/slow roll. there's a few vids of one running and winning against some decent higher powered vehicles you wouldn't think would happen. I think it had like 4.10 or 4.30 gears?

LT1 embarrassed the n/a cobra, heck the TPI would beat it stop light to stop light.

2003Cobro

Stock cobra should be a high 13 car. Id still be willing to bet a lot of those 96-98 Cobra have IMRC issues. Back in 06 my buddies 98 Cobra all of a sudden went from high 12s to mid 13s. Car ran just fine we werent sure what was up with it. Found out his IMRC motor died. Which leaves them shut and kills power on the cars bad. They are supposed to open at 3250rpm to open more flow to the head. His car had low miles too.

Lets youtube race here, this is every video I can find of a B head cobra vs an LT1. Cobra goes 4-0. Not seeing the embarrassment.





Yup. They're royal turds with the IMRC's stuck.

assasinator

no they didn't. the cobro owned the lt1 and put trains on tpi cars. im sure at 4 years old you remember it well *******.

You 2 fairies need to post your own n/a 4V timeslips instead of youtube racing. I'll wait.

14.3@99 on a hot, humid day in Texas, with a 175K mile car. Had an off road pipe and heavy 04 cobra wheels. Right there with an LT1 fbody, tick slower with terrible conditions and a terrible driver.

13.9 @ 99 on hot, humid day in FL, with a 148k mile LT1, stock. Had cheap Khumo Ecsta street tires that were the sportiest I could afford on a high school budget. The 4V could sometimes be a driver's race with an LT1 but I would wager the LT1 beats the 4v more times than vice versa. My LT1 never had any issues with any similarly modded NA stang. At least it wasn't a joke like the pre-96 5.0. I've had a lot of funny races with those...they don't make dick for power NA.

RedFuryZ28

Look at all these furd **** making excuses for why a modded 4v cobra lost to an SUV.

automach1

B-head 96-98 cobras handled the old lt1 cars no problem. They were under geared significantly from ford. Gears alone would put them on par with first year ls1 f-bodys.
