Great day on on Woodward..just got done waxing a 02 GT. I run into a 03/04 Cobra. We paly around a little bit no room to race..his g/f asks me if I'm s/charged, I nod yes. About 2 more lights we get to go from a dig, through 1's we are both spinning, finnally get some trachion in 2'nd.pull about a car on him, grab 3'rd put another 2 to 3 cars on him. We did race again from a 2'nd gear roll..same out come.pull a car and 3'rd walk away. We hit another light, I ask if he's stock, he says except for exhaust he's stock. It's the first 03/04 I raced. I really had no idea the out come I know they can be made real fast for not to much cash. A Z/06 gave me just about the same race a few weeks ago. Got to LOVE woodward! :-D

nice kill!!

my car with a catback and cold air ran a 12.3 at 114mph on stock tires. so even a fairly modded cobra is pretty fast. but yea beware of the pulley and tune. :beer:

Thanks...Don't forget I'm only running 9psi, I only see 8psi on my gauge. 03/04's can change a pulley....so can I.

Haha,

I hate that excuse too. I am pullied, and I still feel vulnerable. The only cars that want to race have a lot of shit underneath the hood around here!

Unless your engine is built you will quickly max out what you can do and he will eventually win the pulley up contest. Just keep sticking the launches and shifting and it will drive him eternally crazy.

Hopefully sometime this summer I will be able to make it out to both Woodward and Gratiot. I miss them both.

I'd like to race, just not on Woodward. Too risky for my blood. I'm no use against anybody from a dig anyways since I put back on the 295 F1's (bought before I did the motor big). I've got ET streets on spare rims, but I'm not big rolling on these roads with no tread...

BTW, nice race to the original poster. Run what you brung, and you brung the whoopin... :coolman:

its simple, stock pulley cobras are not fast. stock pulley cobras only push 6-8psi. most people who get beat have stock pulley so many people say "wait till he gets a pulley" because simply, a pullied/chip cobra is just lethal and chances of beating one is very slim unless you are heavily modded. sure you can also change your pulley but ask yourself this, you really think you can be pushing 15psi like the 03/04 can safely and have your car see another 1,000 miles? I didn't think so.

Durebalility is on the Cobra side if you turn up the (Boost). Cobra has a lot stronger (6) Speed transmission and supension compared to your 94 Cobra. "If you have not altered the supension". Nice race..

You're going to need all that though because you're only making 418rwhp. Us '03 Cobra guys are making 100, 200, 300 more hp to the wheels.

Not trying to be a dick, just pointing out the obvious.
