Last night I roll up to a light and a clean white 5.0 pull's up beside me. It was loud, but not radical(no lumpy idle). I asked him what he had in it, he told be BBKcai, headers, 2.5exaust(flowmaster), off road h-pipe, pulley's, 3.73's, and there were a few other's, but I can't remember. So we roll away slow, still talking, and get lucky enough to hit the next light . He told me he ran a 13.8 wt no traction, don't know if I beleive him.(I ran a 13.9 last year before the SLP runner's, headers, TC, and LCA's) Anyway the light turned green, and we both had no traction. We hooked around the same time and I jumped a full car on him, by the time I hit aroun 110MPH, I had him by around 3.5 cars.This is not the first one I have beat, but is the first this year. And yes it was a 5-speed. Wooohooo.

GOTTA LOVE MY OWN PERSONAL FACTORY FREAK!!

 

good kill. There's no reason with his mods that he can't run what he says.

 

Cool, I only did not believe him because he was younger and a little cocky, but you are definetly right that those mod's should be good for a high 13.

 

Hmmm, young with a 5.0 and flowmasters running 13.8, could have been me! J/K, sounds like a good run, and take his times for real, I am running sinilar times and my car is slow and not running right!

 

great win! :hail:

 

 

Hey Nic I have a question, I got in another race late last night wt 96-98 SVT
cobra hardtop. What do they run in the 1/4 mile around. I beat him, but only by about a car, and he was haning on all the way up to about 120!!

 

91wtROH17's, what mods have you done to your car?

 

A stock 96-98 Cobra should pull high 13s to low 14s at 99-102. They like the top end alot, so he would have hung in the higher speeds!

 

25th, Thank's for the info!!!

Nitrous al, I have cat back 3'', hollow cat's TES headers, slp runners, ported plenum, 52mmtb, ram air from fog light's into k&n's, mac pulley's, TCI convertor, trans go shift kit wt rebuilt trans, AFPR Wt accell 24 pound injector's(Big mistake!! I need a custom prom now bad) other little thing's as well, I just can't think of right now.

 

One of my friends ran 13.8 stock in his '97 Cobra. Most of the ones I see at the track are usually in the high 13/low 14 second range.

 

was it a 5-speed? if it was he needs to learn how to drive, that seems a bit high for what he's got, still good kill man, I'm assuming you've got a 350?

 

Thank's for the feedback Nic

Ya 363, it is a 91 5.7. I have heard that the 96-98 Cobra's were not very fast. I remember hearing that the Cobra's were pulled out of production because they were not putting out the advertized power, but I think that was more recent than 97-98.

 

Yea, that was '99 and the problem was fixed in a recall. There shouldn't be many '99 year model Cobras out there that are down on power anymore.

 

My buddies 97 cobra with exhaust (Flowmaster), no cats, and gears went 13.6@102 a few weeks back.



His exhaust :hail:

 

that's a good kill man, 4.6 slowbras aren't that great, they sound mean but theyare way too slow, I'd say the only one with factory ***** is the '03.

 

yea, ill have to agree. my motor sargeant has an '03. im aiming to kill that Cob*tch with my purdy 383 to be installed this summer...heh heh heh

Well, the 4.6's are not the fastest car's, but I would not say a factory high 13 is too bad, but I must say the 03 is a whole new beast. Good luck to all with your motor's, I won't be starting mine until this winter.
