Unfortunately, I have to agree... Seems most 03-04 Cobra's are about 350 rwhp stock. So a pullied one ? say even just a handheld tune (think Hypertech etc) would be about 400's ?
Pullied Cobra = Nice view of the tail lights with those mods. I have more mods and a decent tune. A Catback, pullied Cobra showed me just why they are so respected..altho from what I hear it was most likely not a stock blower or perhaps a ported one.

yeah it will def hurt it over time, but i dont think itll hurt to much doing it rarely. and at slower speeds.
with my stock A4 3.23s i just drop it into "D" to get it off the overdrive and it pulls great.
what the majority of the ppl posting on here are missing the point, anything can happen on the streets... and its not the matter of who beat who but what the auto powerband is... like someone stated above.. it depends on his gearing, and i think if hes gearing down to secon from 70mph i think its hurting his transmission. it probably wont show it till later down the road though. if i were him id just keep it in OD or just down shift to D. if he really feels the need i would not be going over 35-40mph to downshift to 2..
just my opinion
