The cobra ran a 12 flat and the viper ran a 12.2 if i remember correctly. It might be 12.2 and 12.4. Ive seen videos of his cobra running 11's but im not sure where they are. I read the original post on the FFR forum when it was posted way back when.

The replicas that Shelby makes, the CSX4000 cars, will run high 10s if it has the 427 engine in it. Says something about the fake cobras,:loser:. Factory Five and superformance cobra are NOT corbas.

All kit car bashing aside, the Shelby American site says that the 427 CSX4000 will run 12's in the quarter. :)

True Factory Five and Superformance replicas aren't "corbas" but I know of a few that will run 9s. It all depends on how you build it and how radical you go with the engine.

What ever you call them, mine should be pretty quick and it has been extremely fun building it...
