well now you can run around and tell all your friends you destroy Cobras.

 

naw not all cobras, just the un-blown ones. ive beat a 99 cobra. i dunno what i run to be honest, ive raced a 99 gt with full exhaust & intake and i beat him too. i still want a cobra though they sound awesome. his exhaust drowned mine. and i was ahead of him.

 

Yeah, I can see how racing ONE '97 Cobra could change your opinion on the breed considering they were made the same every year of production. NOT.
Kinda like saying all 5.0 Fox's are slow, not exatly true is it. I for one would love a Cobra, an 03 or 04 would do nicely.

 

Im kinda surpised you won too. Youv got a very nice mod list, but still with stock heads im surprised you beat a 4v. Nice kill

 

I had a buddy run deep into the 11's with stock heads that he reworked, there is power available in them if you know how to port them properly.

 

Yea, i know thumper ported E7's can outflow most aftermarket aluminums, but straight from the factory their pretty bad.

 

Yeah, but be glad you're not saddled with the heads from '86, swirl port design with no top end, junk from the start and not worth crap at any time.

 

Job well done. I've raced a 98 Cobra (full exhaust, gears, intake, and a few other bolt ons) I beat him out of the hole (this is before I had the cam, drag radials and drag suspension) on the first race and he caught up with me at around 70 MPHand took me by 1 car length, second race I destroyed him. I was also racing with a few 99-02 Cobras a few weeks ago at the track and beat all oftheir 1/4 mile times, but they were only lightly modded.

my heads are untouched, so is the cam, ive not tampered with anything internally which is why i thought iw as gonna lose. but naw i like the 96-98 body style the best just the gt's are beyond slow, so i wanted a 96-98 cobra but i wouldnt race it if i got it, id put cold air induction & exhaust, header-back and be done with it. but i cant find a cobra so screw it guess ill just be racing.

 

My 5.0 has quite a few mods in it and is over 500 lbs lighter but can not even come close to keeping up with my Cobra. I have run both cars and the Cobra is 1.2 seconds quicker in the quarter.You must have gotten a lot of power out of those mods.
