Sooo me and Derek were coming back from Cabelas and had my gf and another friend in my car... so we follow this cobra on a 2 lane road... of course he burns out and he put the pedal to the metal... Well i put it in 2nd and got on his *** and just stayed there... ahhh... feels good to show little cobras how a real car should go!.. Oh and that week i beat a Stock 03 Cobra... Car and a Half... Pretty cool! Im getting my LM1 this week so more hp!

right on, it was funny because you werent even full throttle when you were on his ***...

He probably wasnt trying.. cobras are pretty quick.

Phate

x2, esp if his is a boosted one. I thought the 03's came supercharged? If so, he must have been asleep.

2000supersportmaro

the first cobra umm was a 96 body style... trust me he was trying... and the 03... ya i was full throttle and such... i am pushing 350 to the wheels and i am still not dyno tuned yet.. so i know the 03 was trying because i even stopped and talked to him he traded his 02 TA WS6 for that 03 cobra... he was fully stock..

Was this an SVT? cause those are pushing close to 400... Sorry, but I just dont see your intake and exhaust keeping up with a FI mustang. I am a chevy guy and I love camaros, but I hang out with a fair share of mustangs and I know which ones are slow, and which ones are quick. SVTs are faster than an SS camaro as much as I hate to say it.

Phate

Faster? Is that the way you say it?

An 03 SVT Cobra is nearly equivelent to a z06. Minus having a built SS with some type of FI, I dont see how its possible.

My lil v6 may do 400+hp with the spray, but i'd get eaten alive by the cobra. I mean cmon, that supercharger from factory is doing 1:.75 ratio, no aftermarket pulleys, no nothing. Its a beast.

This next bit is a threadjack, im sorry.

Actually, I was drunk the other night and was at a resturaunt (not to threadjack this, sorry mates lol) and a guy came for a pickup order in one of the new Roush stangs, every option and performance package offered by factory, the icon of the new mustangs. My girlfriend says to me "thats a nice car", and I noticed the man was standing next to me that was driving it, and heard my girlfriend say that, so I purposely said "yea, maybe if they were fast", (hence why I should not be wasted in public), and he turned, looked at me, and said, "you've got something faster?" (I was riding in the girlfriends car at the time, so I dont have my lil 6r with me). And I look at him in the eye and say as un-slurred as possible, "It doesnt matter if I have a faster car, just the fact that the last two pages of your owners manual has a bus schedule in it, should tell you something." As I walk out the door.

^Did you remember saying that? I guess since it was such a memorable BURN, you remembered it... That's funny stuff right there!

whitecamaro96

lmao!!! nice one i would have loved to see his reaction to that but those mustangs are pretty quick some punk in a semi modded 06 GT tryd to race me yesteday on the high way and obvously killed me since i only got a v6 and he was way to happy with his accomplishment but i think he thought i had an SS because of the hood

Okay I have an 03 Cobra..something had 2 be wrong with his car than..or maybe he was an extremeley *****y driver cuz he should have smoked you.. if you really think your LS1 with exhaust and intake is faster than an 03 Cobra, than your mistaken big time.

My friend Josh isnt lying about the older cobra...the cobra was spinning the hell out of the tires then grabbed and went hard, and we were on his rear like white on rice...

I don't know what to make of the replies in this thread. Are you people kidding or what?

2003 Cobra weighs in at 3,700 lbs. 2002 Trans Am comes in at 3,300, and even my convertible is 3,650.

Like all mustangs, the cobra has no power until 2/3s through the rpms. All the turbo, super, whatever crap does not take effect until the higher rpms. By the time the stang gets up there, the F-Body is so far ahead, the stang needs 500-600hp to regain that lost distance, and the stangs don't have it. Not even including the drag from extra weight. All stang owners comlain about how their engines have no power in low rpms, and they know it.
Hp gets you a speeding ticket. Torque gets you down the road faster. F-Bodies win.

I have never had a problem dusting cobras of any year. The new ones, don't know, the drivers seem afraid of the throttle on those. This is with an unmodded Firehawk vert. I do admit that the first few times, I was disappointed, I expected more from the Cobras, it was just too easy.

paarman97maro

Ive seen many of them run.. street and track.. and they are undeniably quick. I agree with your claims, yes turbos take time to spool up, but superchargers have fair enough low torque for enough evidence for me.

We could argue it all day.. Im just saying what Ive seen. Who knows, maybe this was different and the dude cant drive/shift for ****.

The Sweed

Thanks for the goood laugh!! That made my day!

I forgot to mention that I do have a mod, the original 275 tires are now 285s, and they still spin.

As shown by the frod commercials, for stangs to swpin the tires, they need to be on smooth concrete parking garage floors that are subnerged in water. LS1's spin their fat tires on hot black sticky dry pavement from a standstill.
