So, my brother and went out And found out. C63 is tuned with 600+.. Cobra is 473 HP AND 2200 lbs. I know, the garage is a mess

You've got a couple of Beautiful cars there, but you can't leave us hanging like that! Which one won and was it a close race or no?

That Cobra has to be a Beast to drive!

Full report to come. Patience.

Trying to work around some remodeling going on but here’s how it went down. I’m sure most knowledgeable car guys know the answer to both and truthfully so did we. As you’d suspect, form a dig it’s no contest. We run full time DR’s on the Cobra and it’s light weight make it a beast from a dig. Put two cars on the C in 60 ft and it got worse from there. Then we moved to roll racing from 60 to 100 where I felt the light weight of the Cobra and unlikely wheel spin from the C would make for a closer race and it did. Cobra still got the jump and won but the C was closing hard and I have no doubt had we kept on going the C was going to run away from the Cobra. Aerodynamically the Cobra is a brick and it takes a lot to push them at high speeds. The C just seems to pull forever. Fun times.

No doubt ... the tuned C63 is faster

I’d normally just say the c63s because its Brilliant Blue and everyone knows that alone adds 25hp but the cobra looks to be almost the same blue so its too close to call haha

Beautiful cars. Like you said a tuned C63 will have little problems walking away from a classic muscle car up top.

Cobra will be faster depending on its motor ,rear gears and if you can hook it . I have a Factory Five Cobra with a Paxton Novi supercharged 302 , 5 speed and 3.73 and running 315 tires in the rear . In acceleration the cobra is definitely faster than my C63S , its a beast ,and it is definitely capable of a 10 second 1/4 . I ran 11:80s in my Vortech supercharged stock long block 92 5.0 mustang and the cobra is a 1200 lbs less running more boost .

My money is on the Cobra, since the c63s is a fat pig.. even a BMW m4 is faster than c63s..

Lol you got a M4 or something, Personally My Fat Pig has never had a problem beating an m3/m4

My M4 with JB4 and downpipes is slower than my C63s coupe with a Dinan tune.

After some googling... C63s. MotorTrend tested a Cobra replica with 485 hp. It did 0-60 in 4.6 and ran a 12.7 at 112 mph.

Those results do not sound realistic. Like nowhere close. Should be MUCH faster. Maybe that was old school gross HP measurement? Maybe an inefficient original 4 spd trans? Even then the light weight would offset it.

Think about it ... a W205 non-S C63 has less hp and probably 1500+ lbs more ... and is faster?
