ive ran a cobra before on my ss/sc, it depends on the power band that your running at. i ran him dead even from a high 2nd to throughout 3rd. we slowed down again, i dont remember from what speed. but instantly he jumped 3 cars ahead of me before i could blink twice. another good tip, make sure your the one who hits wot first

if it's not blown it's not an 03. if it's a stock 01 cobra and he ran a low 13 he's a pretty damn good driver. If this is the case i'd go with you on the roll...maybe him on dig. Depends on your tune and driving ability.

i'm just confused by what they are saying. One of them is saying if it has all those mods it should beat you, but the cobra is stock...? the other is talking about 460hp and low 12's?????

If anyone knows anything about Cobras, I would imagine it would be you. I'm sure you've done your homework.

These guys are just throwing stuff out there apparently. Maybe they are thinking about the Stage 3 Roush or something...

Tell him you want a 40 roll and have someone tape his reaction when you run away from him on the 3rd honk...

Then he prolly will kill himself...

after I slowed down he asked me if I was twin turbo... I 'ed and said "nope...Supercharged."

I didn't think there was. I thought it kinda jumped from 01 to 03.

Nah, the Roush is just a modded GT. The NE Stage 3 had a SC 4.6l SOHC 2V ..360BHP. So in comparison to a termi it isn't close to performance..also lacks all the goodies like forged internals.

the 01 cobras are not really overrated. They are just about dead on actually. They had an issue with an overly restrictive exhaust cutting down on power a bit, but ford replaced it through a TSB, so any TSB'd cobra is just about 320hp give or take a bit.

The supercharged roushes came in a few flavors. the stage 3 which was a supercharged gt, the 360R (360hp blown gt) and the rare 380r. all were blown versions of the 2v 4.6.
