And the 427R....what about that. Isn't that the stage 3?

The SS/TC's haven't been out long enough to know for sure. The mods and tuning for them (from what I've seen) has only started to become routine as of late. Unfortuneately it's winter... so there isn't enough in the way of consistent or wide samplings of 1/4 mile runs to really know what your guys' cars run with those mods. There are a few dyno runs floating around out there in the 300's with the mods you have, but consitency is where data is accumulated, and a few people here and there running at the track doesn't do much by the way of confirmation. Long story short, you're not going to be shot if you lose to him so run him and let us know, you'll do us a lot as far as adding to that data. Good luck.

looks like a 01 and if he ran a low 13 and its stock it has to be an 01. The 99 model was a high 13 second car

Look at the headlights and spoiler, it's a 99.

Thats still not putting out the rated power in stock trim. The intake was also either dipped or extrude honed along with a reflash.

Also, there was the 440A and Jack Roush Classic. That *might* be it. There were quite a few.

Exactly... no black headlight housings, and no pedestal spoiler.

Not to mention that car is Rio Red, which wasn't available on the '01 Cobra.

you will beat him from a roll if your tuned, from a dig it will be a lot closer but you should pull him once you get going and if you get a good launch. 01 cobras need gears to be a threat to most cars, they trap 102-103 range stock

If its N/A... you'll walk it.

I ran side by side with an 01 when I was pushing 263whp/238wtq.

Missed the to the wheels part. Although most I have seen dyno'd were right around the 400 mark. Been awhile since I've been on SVTP though.

Yeah. I loves them. I has a Photo Collection.

When I get back from the Afgan/eRock next year, I'm thinking about picking up an 03, since my SS will be paid off.

I almost bought a lovely Oxford White one a while back... but I couldn't sell the Balt in time.
