Ok so I haven't been on here in awhile. I have a 2012 5.0 with JBA headers, xpipe, axleback, CJ intake, Monoblade TB, FRPP CAI. Car made 477 WHP 390 WTQ on a dynojet. I was supposed to run a 4th gen Camaro but that didn't happen because I had a hole in a drag radial.But I f it and went out anyway on my daily wheels with street tires. I have 245/45/18 in the back LOL. Got to the meet spot and everyone was leaving bummer. Guy I know in a 08 M5 was like You should run my buddy in a 03/04 Cobra. Ok I was im down but thinking in my head hmmm this could either go real bad or ok for me. Guy in the M5 said it was ported stock blower, pulley bolt-on ect. Its a vert. ( I later found out it was a stock blower non ported with a pulley and full exhaust. IDK what size pulley)
OK so I am liking my chances knowing how I did against another 03/04 Cobra with ported blower bolt-ons that wasn't a vert. I am defiantly game now. he had a passenger and I didn't weight advantage to me.
So we drive out onto the Mexican highway we went from a 40 roll advantage to him. First run I spun bad almost went sideways let out a little got back in it. My pizza cutter tires do no good from anything lower than 50. he jumped out about a half car. I reeled that in and when I shifted to 4th. I start to walk away from him. 2nd run I start in 3rd from 40 LOL. Figure I wont spin. Car bogs he jumps out about a car I reel it in and same thing shift to 4th and start to walk away. Also had a run with the guy in the M5. It was a 2008 model with the N/A 5.0 V10. I think rated at 500 crank HP. He had 2 extra passengers as well though. I started in 3rd at 40 to give him a chance. He jumped out about a half car for a second. Once I was in power at about 5k I started to pull hard. Shifted to 4th and I started to walk away. All in all im pretty happy with my car the way it runs N/A.
