looks like a good kill. i think once he gets used to the car it will be closer.

Most likely with a pulley and tune will make a very nice difference. but two cars with the same weight and a 80whp made this race what it was.

they came with 3.55's stock... It should have been closer than the vid showed if the termi driver knew how to drive... it looked like he started out at 2k rpms and never switched gears..

We were at 60mph both in 3rd, i barley shifted into 4th and shut it down in the video

All of the Cobra needs the driver mod comments? :shrug:

The OP said that both cars started in 3rd gear at 60 MPH. All the Cobra driver did was mash the gas. Anybody can do that!! The end result is what it is. The 5.0 was the faster of these two cars!!

The 5.0 is going to be faster either way but the 03 started in the wrong gear. You can even hear how low the rpms are at the start of the vid.

My 5.0 loves starting at 60 in 3rd with the 3.73's...

It's the sweet spot I always try to catch people at.

These new 5.0 motors are pretty amazing considering the last generation of naturally aspirated modulars and how big of a leap the coyote is.

I have owned my cobra and daily driven it since it was new. It is still a great car, and is very dependable and quick considering it only has the most basic of bolt ons.

On the other hand I find myself on ebay and sites like it looking at the prices of used 5.0's quite often these days. The ergonomics of the cobra are starting to get on my nerves every once and a while. They never did before, but I am just getting to a point where comfort is as important to me as performance.

This video and others that I have seen where basically stock 5.0's with tunes are as quick as my cobra with a pulley and a tune make the decision a lot easier. I know that seat of the pants the 5.0 probably wont have that same abrupt hit of torque that the cobra has got, but that can be solved with a bottle.
