Well my buddy recently got himself a cobra which came with High-Flow Cats, BORLA catback, short shifter and steeda intake. I have an 03 L with 6#,ported blower, intake, catback and custom tune.

Well we only raced once but the difference was enough to have concluded the outcome of anymore races.

We went from a 60 roll and i never had a chance he got me by about 3 cars. That mutha is fast.

Damn!!! i gotta be honest i want me another mustang but there is no way i would get rid of the L :rockon: . Guess i gotta start saving some $$$.

Anyone else raced a 03-04 cobra in there L??

I never raced one but I've rode in my buddies parents Roush 440A Mustang. If the '03-'04 Cobra is anything like those, watch out! :eek:

Never run a 03-04 Cobra from a roll unless you are at least 450 SAE , that is to keep up w/ him. Your best bet is from a dig and you want to be done by a 1/4 tops. 1/4 traps on 03-04 Cobras stock are good. The driver has a lot to do w/ it. But from a roll even a novice cant get nervous.

Stock 03-04 Cobras do not worry me in the 1/4 , but the modded ones can ruin your day.But than again who has a stock Cobra these days?

Like Clint Eastwood said " A man has gotta know his limitations" :beer:

Sure he doesn't have a pulley??? I ran a 03 cobra that was stock from a 60 punch and held with it until around 90 or so when the L hits OD and areodynamics starts to take over. Sounds to me like he ran pretty hard for only having intake and exhaust with no pulley, specialy with your 6lb lower and ported blower. At that time I had stock pulleys and a stock tune with just a CAI and exhaust. Doesn't really add up to me

not suprising really. the terminators are badass. 12 second cars stock, and racing from a roll like you did is crazy. the L's arent meant to be racing from a roll. we have torque monsters so you need to race an L in its environment, the 1/4. from a dig you could take him even if he had good rubber with a #6 on your truck. but after the 1/4 you gotta watch out.

Someone let me know where you guys in Miami are. I cant find any other L's or Cobras to save my life. And have yet to run a car after i got tuned. Would like to meet up and talk shit for a bit.

I want a push button stall damn it. It would be perfect for roll racing. Stall the bad boy up in 2nd at about 60, let go and launch. (I doubt it would work but I can dream and technology is improving.)

I have stock blower setup still, I have no plans of modding it either. Im sure you guys would stomp the crap out of my ride. I cant race worth a damn, so i just cruise when the weather is nice. Other than that the car sits in the garagemost of the time. Go look at dodgetruckworld.com forums. Those guys with there hemi trucks talk so much crap about how they can stomp mustang gt's and lightnings stock for stock. I had a shortbed hemi and it was a turd.
