Out in Mexico last night, I found myself racing an 04 Cobra (Terminator). Stock. No intake or exhaust or pulley. 6mt.

Started from a 45 mph roll (towards top of 2nd for me). Went to 125. Dead even.

Went from a slow slow roll (5mph or so). I had 1/2 car until about 100. it was even at 120. and the cobra had me by about a fender by 130 when we shut it off.

the driver was cool. quite knowledgeable about cars. has an 87 (or 88) Grand National project. Told me he works at a local BMW dealership....so I had to do a little smack talking on those E46s and 335s and such.....

those s/c cobras are no joke (at least for me). hopefully i will have my tune the next time i run into a Terminator in Mexico.

great story...gives a good gauge of how we hold up against those v8's.

You mean blowen V8s.

Stock C32< Stock S/C Cobra=Modded C32< Modded S/C Cobra

(Acceleration-wise only, of course)

jturkel

basically yes....after i do my tune, i will do a run with a slightly modded cobra (intake and exhaust) and disclose the results

If you enjoy your car now wait until you get it tuned, Made a huge difference in my car. One of the second best races I have had was against a Cobra, The first was against another C32 owner who is also on these forums

i am a new owner of c55 but was test driving both the 55 and the 32. this is coming off of a 700 hp cobra. It really surprised me when i got into the c32 and drove it. Didn't know what to expect, but was pleasanlty surprised.

yeah its pretty quick stock for a 4dr.

Deuuuce

Nice runs!

What is the range for pulley and tuned C32s in terms of ETs and traps?

jturkel

i just have intake and pulley and trap 109 on crappy AZ 91 octane (~88) and bad DA.

I think most trap 110-113 with pulley and tune. Of course, it depends on what pulley and what tune. They all lead to different results.

The lowest ET currently is a 12.3 and the highest trap is 115. These were both achieved by Loungn14. I think it is safe to say that with a pulley and tune, most should hit the 12s. My crappy gas, awful DA, and bad tires wont let me beat a 13. Best 60' i can currently pull is a 2.1.

That's well-driven Terminator territory. Good stuff. I pulled 1 to 1.5 CLs on my neighbors Terminator that is essentially stock (different mufflers). He just got it so he's still getting used to it. A tuned SRT-8 would be another good race for you as well. Keep us posted!

jturkel

will do.....

i actually have raced an SRT8 charger with a CAI. It wasnt a good race as i had one passenger and the charger had two or three passengers. I pulled about a car in one gear. hopefully i will get around to racing another one soon.

Had to be an 87, that was the last model year. Those cars are no joke with a few bolt ons. Easy low 12 second car on drag radials.

Cool story.
