Had some fun with an SVT Cobra Well I had an encounter with an 03 Cobra the other day. He revved at me as I was leaving a restaurant. We flagged him down to ask if he wanna to run em. He laughed and said yeah,so we headed to a long strip of road and slowed down to about 20 M.P.H. I threw my A4 into 1st, to let him know I was ready so he throws his down as well (M6) we both nail it and I immediately jump a car length and a half on him we stayed just like that from 20-125,man was he pissed he had his wife with him and everything. We pulled over down the road and he noticed he sprung a radiator leak.LMAO damn ford. I was proud that my $6000 Z spanked his $30000 Cobra.
How much est. RWHP would ya say his car had. He had exhaust,intake,Supercharger pulley,and an underdrivepulley.
94 Z28 A4, K&N FIPK,Holley T.B.,Hooker longtubes,Hooker catback,3000 stall
Heads &Cam package,Eibach,Subframe connectors,3:42

Guess he forgot to install the ever so important driver mod.
Nice kill.

was around 3,950lbs back then. Pretty solid if you ask me given the
raceweight, lack of traction, and just a few minor mods.
I went 11.50's in my LS1 with about 450rwhp on street tires. Very comparable
to my Cobra.
What was your mph when you went 11.50's with only 379rwhp. I guarantee
it wasn't anywhere near the 120's.

make it an even 350rwhp if you're trying to imply that Cobras
don't get down the track well.
No matter, I'm several hundred more horsepower past 460 now so
it doesn't make a difference really.
Have nice weekend.

EDIT: Yes, supercharged cobras do seem to be dyno queens. Also please try to be a little more realistic. Several hundred more horsepower than 460?
