Good day...banged up a nice loud Cobra

I will say, I do like the 03-04 Cobras a lot. This guy thought he owned the road, I watched him drive ( I stayed behind for awhile) down the road jumping on his car and trying to race every poor soul he got a light with. Car sounded real good and the SC was making a lot of noise so he had something going on....problem was he couldn't drive it I got a light with him just by chance, he looked over and starred at the Kompressor emblem...looked at me and i just smiled. light goes green, I stab it and the poor soul in the Cobra like a guy on his first date does a big burnout and loses miserably...not even a ricer fly-by afterwards
He then drove normally for the duration of his trip down the road
I love this big-pig Benz!

I bet it was a posi or steggie ported eaton, some where in the neighborhood off 500rwhp. You do have to be a descent driver to get the most out of the terminators. Good run bro

I was a Mustang guy years back...built a pretty crazy all forged SC'd 4.6, car was great on a Dyno but never worked as far as putting the power down. I do have a sweet spot for the lil stangs though....they just produce the perfect exhaust note

we were next in line with the 03-04 unported eaton record and we were the heaviest. 10.88 the average joe would of been lucky to run a high 11 in that car if they jumped in the seat.

i tuned this car

I was in a car club in SoCal about 8-10 years ago called Domestic Disturbance, and my buddy had a fully worked out sc'ed 98 Trans Am with a completely rebuilt LS6 motor and he used to go to the track and rip low 10s all day long. It always felt like the fbodys had more of an advantage over the stangs, for whatever reason. I raced a 99 Cobra stock in my stock 96 WS6 and it was an absolute joke for that guy.

'99 Cobras had issues from the factory with not making the advertised horsepower. I beat one with my bolt-on '94 GT.

However, even with the '99 making correct power, the LS1 powered cars were still faster.

no surprise. It is hard as **** to launch a 6 spd 03/04 Cobra with a factory IRS without slicks, especially on the street. I took me 5 years to launch my car and I know it will still probably run 0.3-0.5 quicker if I had more seat time at the track. Even with 315 mickey tompson drag radials I can still smoke them through 90 mph if you want to act like a jackass with 650 ft lbs of trq at the wheels lol

Cause fairmonts are tin cans on wheels. My buddy built one and has a 4XX ford motor in it and races some class with it now. Damn thing was like 2600 lbs or something silly. Factory aluminum bumpers even if I remember right. lol

Found a pic, this is him and his dad in the background kneeling. Has a 427 small block ford in it. It was some old ladies car they found while driving around Arizona. Used to be a straight 6.
