I don't doubt the 4 valve Cobras one bit. Two of my friends have them, one a 96 the other a 98. Both of them with similar mods one with 96 with 4:30s the 98 with headers and 4:10's. They scream I love driving them.

Why wouldn't the cobra be stock? He stated he punched it after the cobra did, he's also and auto with 2.73's...Cobras are high 13 second cars stock and so are 2.73 auto ls1s. Sounds about right to me.

If you pull mid 14s in a 96-98 Cobra, you either can't drive or you live at high elevation. They are 13s cars... it's just that most of them have 14s drivers.

Its been done before, I never said it didn't take a good launch and tires to get there. And it takes someone with no mechanical sympathy!

Nice kill TuffGuy610. Your buddy must be a pretty good driver. When i was stock i beat a '96 cobra by 3 cars from a 20 roll up to 80. The guy had exhaust maybe more, but i don't know.
