My research shows a 97 Cobra running a 14.0 in the 1/4, and they list the 2000GT at 14.2, which sounds accurate. It would take approx 20 - 25 more hp or a better suspension / traction setup to run with him, assuming his car is stock. With your mods (which I really don't know for sure), I would say you will be right on him.

Get him from a light, if the Cobra motor in 97 was DOHC, from a roll he will mop the floor with you <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
Hey guys, what about a 99 Cobra? I know someone in town who has one and I've been reluctant to look for him at night!</P>

If the guy with the cobra can drive and itaint gotalot of miles racked up on it I would say the Gt would lose. But if the cobra has many miles on it that would greatly effect the performance, which would make him lose.</P>

If you do proper maitnance..and keep the ignition system in top shape, it won't matter how many miles are on the motor, you may lose 1-5 hp through it's entire life span...but with an automatic, they get tired and start slipping...etc etc. With a 5 speed, your chances of never losing hp are increased
</P>Get him from a light and pray for traction!</P>
