It was probably a earlier N/A cobra the 99's and 01's look similar to the 03/04

are you sure you arent reading the specs for an 99-01 mustang? A stock ls1 will usually get edge out by a C hair by a stock 03-04. On the street..its a drivers race. I HIGHLY doubt you pulled that hard on an 03-04 unless he couldnt drive at all.

I think he ment "edged out" not "edge out". I would say stock for stock the termie is faster by more than a C hair. The 13.9 has to be typo.

Fastest stock time ever was 12.4 at 114mph or something in that MPH region for an 03 cobra. Under rated from the factory as well,

12.7 is the norm for most novice drivers, the 12.4s hit on bonestock tires is truly a driver mod to the max

13.9 for a GT, not a blown Cobra.

No way is 12.7 the "norm" for a bone stock 03-04 Cobra with a novice behind the wheel (or even a competent driver). Only a REALLY GOOD driver in good conditions, is gonna get a 12.7 out of a stock Terminator.

I ran a 12.91@110 with a 1.95 60' with a stock 04 cobra, on a humid 90 degree evening. And i dont consider myself a great driver.

12.7 are realistic

Back when I had only catback and intake, I pulled about 2 cars on a 99 SS. It was an A4 but it did have 3:73 gears, and a couple other bolton's.

Damnit, I finally saw an 03/04 Cobra for the first time today in my city, was an older guy but it looked like he would have run, of course it was one of the couple of days a year it rains here. Looked and sounded stock, sure it would have killed me but it woulda been a decent race for a change.

Are you on crack? 13.9? 12.9 would be a bad time with a good driver big dawg.
