03 cobra so i raced a 03 cobra and was wondering how bad would it affect its performance if he left the tc on. he siad he left it on but i jumped easy and continued to walk him till he said he hit the brakes. btw it was a stock. sorry if this is confusing attention is towards sharks game

Let's put it like this...
It feels like you physically hit a brick wall when the traction control engages
at WOT. It honestly hurts it kills power so bad. Anyone who leaves it on is
sure to lose. Mine is turned off permanently via the tune.

Yes you should have gotten him anyways, but it certainly wouldn't be by a wide margin. In my experience, it takes about 340rwhp+ to run even with a stockish 03/04 save for maybe a catback and an fipk.

Nice run, yeah with your mods, Id say you should pull a stock or lightly modded Cobra.
Unit...What tune permanently turns off the traction control. I should be getting my pulley's and tune this week. I got the SCT Tuner.

I shut it off orginally with a SCT tuner, and I have a RWTD tune now. its on the canned tunes too on the programmers that can data log.

Many Cobra's make more than 360 stock. Mine made 383.6 stock and 420.7 with just CAI and catback. I remember forgetting to turn off the TC the first time I gave a friend a ride. Got on it hard and she pulled for a sec, slammed me into the belts like I stood on the brakes for a sec and then pinned me in the seat again. It was crazy and violent, made my Bud's eyes bug out. After figuring it out and feeling like a fool, I turned it off and shoved his eyeballs back in his head.

I am using sct software to tune my car and I disabled mine as well.

The 360 was on a Mustang Dyno, so I'd believe close to 380 on a dynojet.
