Can a tr230 cam only 3400 stall ls1 with 400rwhp beat a pullied cobra with full bolt ons and a ported supercharger. Im guessing that will put a cobra about 500rwhp. Wondering if possible because of the mustangs weight and brick like body to lose?

I would think the cobra would have the advantage. I had a little trouble in the Z06 when it was stock racing one that had a smaller pulley and bolt ons. They are pretty potent when modded.

No and they are only 150lbs more which only needs 30rwhp to overcome. They are very close on thier Cd as well.

A pullied/ bolt on Cobra will usually run with H/C F-bodies. First hand experience here but you can hope for a bad driver, thats very possible since you run a stalled A4.

I hear that it takes a 450 -475rwhp cobra to beat a cam only ss. I dont know if that is true though.

But be careful, as there are very many at and beyond that. It only takes a few bolt-ons to get to that level

Depends... if it's a big stalled/geared A4 with a monstrous cam from a dig, I'm sure it would do quite well.

^ I agree. From a dig the cobra might be in trouble. From a roll it'll be the Cobra all the way.

I raced a full bolt-on/ported blower with my cam only 6 speed LS1 (making 420 rwhp) from a 60 roll and he ran away from me good. I'd say 4 cars from 60-120.

if it had a ported blower, the very least it should make would be 480rwhp which should be plenty to pull a 400rwhp camaro

A ported blower Cobra with a small pulley and supporting mods should be putting right around 500+ to the wheels. From a dig, the Fbody might have the advantage, but top end that Cobra is going to walk all over it if they're both stock weight.

Let me find the video ScreaminRedZ is talking about if I can. It's a ported/pulleyed Cobra with all the supporting mods against a 420rwhp 2002 Z28 that trapped 118.9 at Englishtown (so it backs up that dyno number). Be back shortly....

I agree with the others. You might have a shot from a dig if you can hook pretty good. From a roll, you won't have much of a chance.

Damn, I've got the video, but I would need to blur out someone's face on it and I don't have the software to do it. If anyone can help me out, let me know; otherwise, just trust me that the Cobra pulls a solid 4-5 cars from a second gear roll (and the driver of the Z is no slouch).

A 03/04 Cobra with any sort of mods will be a handful to a cammed LS1 from any roll. Now from a dig, different story.

Agreed, the 03-04 cobras are potent and have serious power with just a few bolt ons

Not a chance

According to cars.com. The Cobra has a cd of .38 and the LS1 f-body has a cd of .34

It's not that far apart

Id love for someone to find out. I read the .38 was for the Verts. If you look up spec's on the Cobra, they show .33 and others show .38.

Either way, they are nearly identical to the F-bodies. Now check a C6 vette and its like .27 I believe.

just run em, anything can happen in the streets..

COD02SS

Do 400rwhp F-bodies pull 122+mph traps? Then you'd be toast

Jsak

what does it take to beat a 500rwhp cobra besides a supercharger or turbo?
