Default Bench Race...

Hey guys. I have a couple questions. I have been talking to a guy back home in Indiana where I am from. He just picked up an 03 Cobra, it is pullied (2.76 I believe) , intake, and catback exhaust. I am going back home in a few months before I deploy to put my car in storage. Before I do that, I plan on running with him a few times. I have looked around and see all kinds of numbers for those things. He is a decent driver, how do I stand??

Oooh that is a tough one. I predict very, very close based on your trap speed, possibly you edging him out. From a roll it could entirely come down to gearing.

Dude if you've ran 11.2 you'll smoke him. The average guy driving a pullied Cobra is a high 11 low 12 second car. People have done better than those numbers but I'd say thats a good average.

Muscle mustangs and Fast Fords magazine just picked up a 03 termie as a test car. They did a bit of work like 3.73, a pulley, drag radials and the car (I don't have the mag beside me) I think is running11.80. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
