YES dumbass. It will beat it to death. stock turbos doesnt always mean uve got the winner partner. Dont make me use an example of that. At high speeds the cobra will be layin down its max hp and the wrx will be layin down its max hp. 2000si dont even say the weight makes up for 80hp topend. I dont understand u people. If u are a decent driver, you will hammer the wrx. Its not a question. I dont know why this is even a thread

 

And when two mustangs almost equal in weight one having 45more hp and the same 0-60 I see that someone f'ed up on that test. 99gt isnt faster or equal to 98 cobra in 0-60 or 1/4 mi or whatever kinda race u want. Motor trend or whoever needs some new drivers

Thats exactly like saying that a honda civic ex 1.6L 127 hp I4 is as fast or faster than an SI 1.6L 160 hp I4. What do u think about that?

 

Ok that was too far and 100% IGNORANT. Do u understand how many 4 bangers that will flat out destroy your car? Mine as well. No respect for something you obviously know nothing about just makes u look like an *******. Go to the track and watch! Red turbo integra spanks my *** at the track EVERY NIGHT. Ive raced him over 10 times and only won once. He runs slick, but im not makin excuses. He's just faster. Id love to see your sixer line up against him. U run mid 10's in the 1/8 right? Or is it high 10's?

 

I dont like how you said that but it is a good point.

It hurts me to say but it is possible for the Cobra to lose. It weighs so much more. People forget how much a difference weight plays in a race.

 

Im not dissing you bro. I love Ford and all but I've recently opened my eyes to new cars out there.
I havent lost to a WRX, SRT4, or STI..but I do ride shotgun and I have video taped many passes in my buddies SRT4 with a 60-1 Turbo and it has beat 11sec Z28's and SS's on slicks.
Each and every time from dead stop, we are behind, but the top end on a STRONG turbo (20psi) in the SRT4...man we laugh at them LS1's.
On a roll its much much worse. A 30mph or 40mph punch and its no contest.

"imageisme" is my buddies screen name on srtforums.com and svtperformance.
He dyno's SAE CORRECTED 415rwhp or more with some good mods and that car made me open my eyes to the 4 cyl world.

Isnt the F1 racing with four banger too? I still prefer a DOHC 4V or 3V Ford over and import

 

Do people forget how much the AWD WRX weighs? 3085
Do people even know how much the cobra weighs? 3364

For all the mathmaticians here that 279lbs. Not even close to enough to make up for 80hp

Do people forget that the WRX puts down a massive 217ft/lbs of torque?

 

Uhh, a 98 cobra is in the 13s bone stock. I've seen a 97 5 speed run 13.8 at 101 on a summer day. They're very much like 99, 01 cobras in performance. That was on regular tires. I say the cobra wins and not because i'm biased toward mustangs. An STI would be a different story but just cause you're biased toward imports doesn't make them any faster or domestics any slower. A 98 cobra should, under normal shifting and operating conditions beat a WRX. Launching plays a factor in this. I honestly think the cobra had a tenth or two still in it under the right weather.

 

Enough of this seen stuff. I want you guys to REALLY, UNDOUBTEDLY prove me wrong for a ****ing change. Go find me a goddamn video of a bone stock 98 Cobra running anywhere in the thirteens and I WILL secede my comments.

You guys just want to give me "I saw it" heresay. It proves to me nothing.

Now goddamnit, why do I have to bitch you guys out just to get you to prove me wrong for a change?

 

WRX smokes crack i know and i will not use bad language on this forum again

 

Tell your friend to get a DP and EM and he'll smoke you bad!!!
