to get to that kind of power. Also, people tend to under estimate
the $$$ required to get a Cobra to handle 600+rwhp. A few bolt ons
and a pulley couldn't be anymore unrealistic....no offense of course...
just stating facts.
Regarding '03 Cobra motors, a friend has one swapped into a Fox 'stang
and he cracks off 8.50's @ 165mph. He's done that on the stock motor
with a good sized turbo.

They were nicknamed the "Terminator" because they terminated the rivalry competition with the Camaro and other competitors of the Mustang.

I did my pulley swap for under 600 bucks, fairly easy mod to do...just finding the right belt size is a bitch sometimes.
But to the orginal poster, an 03-04 cobra isnt the baddest car in the land by far but, but its certainly not something id take lightly.

It's the first car that Ford was able to build that could beat an F-body since the LS1 came out ahahahah j/k guys.
The 03-04 cobra runs mid-high 12s stock and is a force to be dealt with either at the street or at the drag strip. Throw some mods at it and watch out.
