in the end sadly if you win, you only won cause you beat the driver. not the car. High 12 second car stock nothing to sneeze at.

At the age of 16 you SHOULD NOT have a 03-04 Cobra...

widowedeight

yeah.... i'd say unless he crashes you have no chance.... the are 460hp stock...... now upgrade that turbo and it will be a better race

Well hes like 18 now. but yeah tell me about it! he was too scared to even race it when he got it. lmao!

once hahn come out with theyre kit im all over that!! lol!

cakeeater

agreed. I'm a big supporter of "age isn't the only thing that determines driving capability" but anyone that has driven a cobra knows it's a point and shoot untamed monster that should never be someone's first car. this kid is gonna die.

I think you guys are missing the important question here...

Is the Cobra S/C or N/A? Cuz me and my buddy took turns walking an N/A cobra from a 40 roll when we were just Stage 2 with intake...

cakeeater

they are realistically probably about 420-430hp. they are rated at 390, but are underrated.

Grich171

ide say if he has all those mods and a decent tune he might have a chance...if they are a high 12 second car the cobalt should be too with those mods ppl have been almost in the 12s with a tune and dr's

cakeeater

yea that would be a good question if an n/a 03 cobra existed.

i'm getting the gt35r

Perfect.disguise

460 stock? It's 390bhp under-rated. Many have gone mid/lowish 12's stock. Again if you beat him, you beat the driver.

he took it out to the lapeer strip and said he ran a low 13... and i know hes a good driver he has all manuals and that what he learned on so he cant be a crappy driver.

cakeeater

it all depends. With a decent driver and i mean DECENT, an 03-04 cobra will be in the 12's. It doesn't take john force or evan smith to pull that off. With a great driver they have gone mid 12's and can trap 112-113mph pretty easily. If drivers are equal, i'd give the nod to the cobra roll or dig, but it's gonna be on the driver this time.

lapeer is a POS track. I couldn't break into 12's there when i was n/a, then went to milan and ran a 12.7x. I would bet on the cobra this time. The car is completely stock?

hes not supercharged or anything... so then maybe its not an 03?? he just has the 4.whatever.

The 03-04's are all S/C'ed

ecotecon18s

Ha!!! I prevail!!!

The 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra's 4.6-liter, DOHC V-8 is equipped with an Eaton ™ supercharger and new aluminum alloy cylinder heads that provide increased flow capabilities. The engine produces 390 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 390 foot-pounds of torque at 3,500 rpm, compared with the 2001 model's 320 hp at 6,000 rpm and 317 foot-pounds of torque at 4,750 rpm.
