the black00ta takes out the 99-01 cobra first i wanna say i havent gotten to run the beast in a WHILE so this was pretty exciting for me...
im driving down the highway with light traffic and i see the mustang with cobra bumper commin up on me pretty quick and get next to me.
car is a 99-01 green coupe with gold cobra wheels, definitly lowered, most likely had headers aswell.
anyway we get off the off-ramp and turn to a 4 lane open road with a stoplight right off the highway, hes revvin and jumpin like he wants to go.
so i get ready and give him a rev... light goes green.
top of first he was at my rear bumper.
by the top of 4th he was bout 3 cars back......smoked..
so he pulls up next to me rolls down the window and says, that wasent even a contest.
i just look at him and shrug.... he revs it up mid drive and dumps the clutch and gets all squirly and takes off.....peace out.
ty for reading my unorganized blurb.

Nice kill, but there's one think I don't get.
How from looking at the gold wheels and the lowered suspension could you tell he had headers

Nice kill, and i think he said that it had gold wheels, lowered suspension, and most likely headers as well my guess is probably from the tone of the exhaust. I dont think he meant he assumed it from the gold wheels and lowered suspension, at least thats what i got out of it. Also yea I had a quick run with an 99-01 cobra. I rolled up and the guy was reving the **** out of his car at everyone and I wasnt sure if I heard the whine or not thinking it was an 03-04 cobra (it was dark out). So i get next to him and he does it to me and I hear NO blower whine and was pumped as i knwo id get pulled by an 03/04 cobra. From a 20 roll to about 70 mph had him by a 1.5-2 cars and def would have kept pulling. Real nice looking mustang though, very clean. Guys was cool too, gave the thumbs up.

Most likely the front bumper is what he ment jeev's.
Cobra's have ROUND fog lamps in there front BUMPER. Cars do have front bumpers, ya know.

"I" think the mach 1 is faster but...they're both slow as far as LS'1's go.

well the mach 1 is prety much the same thing as a cobra 4.6 dohc its just a03 cobra less the blower an insted of a 6 speed its a 5 but mustangs are a bit tricky to learn to launch right if it isnt right on your gona bog or spin like hell it took me a while to learn to launch mine right but now the clutch is fucked all to hell so it dosnt matter right now (4.10 gears,nitto DRs an stock clutch dont match) ohh well **** happenes

sorry it took so long to respond.. i thought it had headers by the sound, (had lots of friends with Gt's and cobras with headers)
yes i saw his cobra FRONT bumper. =]
and the mach 1 is esentially the same thing except with an iron block and solid rear-axle

Good kill
Had a friend message me today on my phone say he whooped on a 99-01 cobra the guy was lying through his teeth said he made 400rwhp with it
that's funny you just got walked by a stock 00 TA lol i'd be pretty upset about that. I remember a modded 99 cobra thought he wanted a piece of my 5.0 back before i had the blower, that was his unlucky day i happened to have a fresh heated bottle of spray in the hatch as my passanger. Don't know the extent of his mods though when he caught up he just had a dumbfounded look on his face i saw the car for sale a few weeks later lol maybe he had just been beaten to many times

Well, to each his own. I don't see mach 1's beating F-bodies at the track here in florida,..and i'm usually there EVERY WEEK.
slow.
"f-body has it on top end"
Doesn't just about EVERYCAR own a mustang on top end?

just because i preffer to keep things simple doesent make me a moron. and yes i do know plenty about cars. i could blurt out facts all day on LS1's that would make your head spin, maybe you should wonder back over to your ford forum if thats all you had to say.
now the facts you spouted to me are essentially the same differences found in 98/00 - 01-02 but an LS1 is LS1 where your 4v 4.6 shares so much with the version released in 96... has had the typical improvement over time that would be expected
better flowing heads, low end torque cam. and little crap here and there.
if we preffer to get caught up on details of the such, that wasent the purpose of this post.
i had read somewhere maybe, C&D that the mach1 got the iron block version straight from the maurader.
MAYBE i was incorrect. so shoot me ford boy.
