wonder what all the "supras suck, 03 cobra's are better" people are gonna say:D

holy **** that supra hauled ass put that cobra to shame

man those supras got some power. Got plenty of friends who have these huge t 78 turbos and **** which are just amazing.

99 cobra

This guy he has his import performance shop, gave me a ride in his 96 i think Supra TT pulling about 450rwhp wow that car was going fast. But still all u heard in those cars is s/c and turbo, i hate that. I only like N/A. Natural aspirated car can do 16 and i love it more the 10's turbo or s/c. I mean those r great cars, really nice, but 911 turbo is one of the expensivest and nicest cars on the street, it is still a turbo car which cant give the power without a power adder.

dude, that was fast...
is that not crazy or what?

Thats what happens when you put a HUGE single turbo on a supra. Whip the **** outta them until they spool, and then lookout!

Anyone notice at the end he was taking out a Z06 by not a huge amount? Still a pretty nice kill. That car has to be capable of low 12s. That supra was probably someplace in the 10s im guessing? As hard as he was pulling on them from a 80 roll.

OMFG the blowoff valve sound and the flames from the exhaust are giving me a ****ing hardon dude...

That cobra must have been stock or nearly stock. I honestly don't know why fools race highly modified cars when they know there running stock. That supra was supposed to win. That's not a 10 second car. I would eat his ass for lunch, breakfast and dinner. He might run mid to high 11's....Put a different pulley on that cobra and the story would be different....

Not steping on anyone toes...I just get so tired of seeing idiots in new cobras thinking there unbeatable by racing highly modded rides when there stock or nearly stock.....Like JonnyLightning said "Stock is for Suckers". Modifiy your ride ladies and gentlemen...especially if your gonna race supras and late 80's early 90's stangs all those suckers are modded. Try getting a Blowzilla for your cobra and i promise the results would be different. Lots more money invested in that supra...when compared with the cobra.

lol....good one......he's better than some of the people on here..lol

Well i know my english sucks, but so does your car si.

My car may suck to you, but at least I can pass 3rd grade English.

Not really, it takes 650+ hp for the 03-04 Cobra to break below 12s so I've heard. A simple Pully change wont net you that kind of power gain.

WTF are you thinking?

BTW I have seen a pully change, CAI, mufflers, and a custom tune net like 470 RWHP. Trust me that is good for high 11s.

How is it if he is stock that he beats a z06? At least thats what I looked like to me (was kinda dark and hard to see). That Z06 should be running at least a 12.75, and the cobra beat em by a little bit. Did you not see how fast that supra was acclerating on top end? I know it is the realm of the supra, but they were going 120+ when he blew by him, and at the end the supra was still pulling SUPER hard and the 03 was at 155. Supra had to have been going 160-170.

What in Gods name are you talking about. With a lightning pully and some M/Ts I have seen an 03 cobra run a 11.68 @ 119 And that is with 441 rwhp. If a cobra had 650+ horsepower it would be in the low 10s or high 9s

With a lightning pully and some M/Ts I have seen an 03 cobra run a 11.68 @ 119 And that is with 441 rwhp.

That guy must have been one DAMN good driver, if you all remember the AMG E55 vs 03 Cobra video Kylabite got his ass raped 3 times buy a completely stock AMG E55...and that was juts in the rematch video. His cobra dyno'd around 441 hp if I remember right, 03 AMGs pull mid 12s quarter miles too.

There is a huge difference from street racing and going to the track. Anything can happen on the street. If it were at the track the cobra would have smoked the AMG. That thing was an automatic and had street slicks on it. Autos are good for street racing because they are pretty consistant. The Benz could hook up the cobra couldnt, simple as that. If you cant put the power to the ground you should go from a roll.

A. Kylabite loses every race he races. That guy simply cannot drive. Hes running drag radials and all you hear is tire smoking in first and sometimes 2nd.

B. Nobody seems to notice on the vids, but the ones I have the 2nd time the cobra is catching back up to the AMG. The final run they are nearly door to door when he goes by.

C. the AMG wasnt stock, it had D/R on it. Says so right on the vid.

BTW i just looked at that vid again. The cobra smokes them all the way thru 1st, bogs like a bitch when he shifts into 2nd, then breaks them loose again all the way thru 2nd, and he almost loses it and goes into the other lane. If that right there doesnt show you the guy cant drive, well I dunno WTF will.

Want a quick way into the high 9s? Buy a 03 cobra, then buy a KB supercharger, exuast, and a custom tune.

Done.

This is a recurring theme on this site. Everytime a Mustang loses, it's due to ****ty driving.

Have you seen the video? Your telling me this guy can drive?

Your telling me a 475 HP car that wieghs approx 3500 LBs cant break past 12s??????? And correct me if im wrong, but isnt that RWHP?

****, im hoping to run low 13s with all of my parts installed. Christ I hope 150 more horsepower could tag an 11

a. he's won a few against 98snakeeater (the yellow trans am)
b. He was catching up, but you can't tell if he catches up after the AMG slows down or not.
c. In the first video he was stock and he literally raped the Cobra everytime they raced. in the 2nd video they both had gotten a few more mods and the already HEAVILY modded cobra was finally catching up to a NEARLY stock AMG. See my point now? :)

Who raped the cobra stock? Getting confused here.

If you think a 450=475 RWHP car cannot run faster than 12s, your insane.

I've seen others of him. I'm not saying he can drive. I'm just saying, that if a Mustang doesn't win, to you guys, they just can't drive. And about the whole "buy a KB to get 9's," you're going to need more than that. Some sticky tires for one. Who the hell wants to buy a v8, run 20+psi boost, and only run 9's?

I dont think a mustang cannot be beat. But when a 475 HP 03 cobra gets spanked by a dead stock AMG, something is a bit fishy here.

Want a quick way into the high 9s? Buy a 03 cobra, then buy a KB supercharger, exuast, and a custom tune.

I expected no less from a Mustang enthusiast. To hook up you'd need slicks, a new rear end and if you don't know, people are already swapping in the 4 sp auto from the GTs to make their cobra go quicker and (as you said) be more consistent.

There's more ways to hit 9s other than the ALMIGHTY 03 Cobra.... you could buy an 02 LS1 SS, procharger supercharger, exhaust and K&N Airbox with lid. Done.

Viper, supercharger, slicks. Done.

Corvette Z06, Lingenfelter package, slicks. Done.

If speed is your game don't sit there and whine about costs like I KNOW you will.

I am just saying that they are way more capable than you are saying. And there aint no way in hell that car should be losing if it has what he says.

And there anit to way it takes 650 HP to get into the 11s. That is exactly what you said.

I am not saying its cheapest, or the best way to go fast. Im saying the car is capable and willing to go this fast.

Even price wise, you can't beat the LS1. I can get a '99 for under 10k....

damn I hate dial up....freakin gf's POS

I'm sorry I was just going off what a friend who had about 6 months of personal experience driving, racing and modding them who has seen them not break 11s at the track without at least 650 rwhp.

I kindly challenge you to find a video that will prove me wrong with both a video shoot of the Dyno saying less than 650 rwhp along side video of the cobra laying down 11s at the track...with the same Tremec T56 6 sp manual that comes standard on the 03 Cobras.

Sooooo....

The car is capable (well documented here) of running 12.80s in the 1/4. Thats about 400 HP at the flywheel.

Your telling me, and your being serious here, that it will take an additional 250 hp (?!?) to gain ONE SECOND on the track??? What, running spare donut tires on the rears?

Hell a 03 should be able to get close to an 11 just with a set of slicks, granted you better watch out for the rearend to splatter all over the track after a few runs.

BTW, OT here, but I havent seen the plethora of IRS splatters on the 03/04s that I saw on the eariler SVTs. Any reason why?

Id say your friend likes to smoke crack just about as much as you do.

Well for a guy who's had one, driven one, modded one and has had several friends with one you really think I'm going to believe you over him? riiight...

do you have any experience with the Cobra? No? Ok then. Find me the video.

and yes that is what I am saying, hp doesn't help if your gearing is too off with a ****ty t56 6 sp that will only hold 450 hp reliably.

Lets just totally hijack the thread here and do a comparason.


AMG
Wieght: 3,857 lbs
Transmission Automatic 5spd
HP 469
Tq 516


Cobra
3665
Manual 6 speed
Lets say 475 at the flywheel?
God knows, maybe 475-500 Ft Lbs



Plus, Im thinking I saw that the E55 comes with a 3.27:1 gear ratio? The Cobra of course has a 3.55:1.

Im not comparing the two cars as if I were to buy them, the price and application is COMPLETELY different. I could easliy buy 2 03s for one E55, and I could easily be 10x as comfortable and relaxed in a E55 as I could a 03.

HOWEVER, I fail to see how a car with an AUTOMATIC (i dont care what you say, or how good it is, an auto still robs more power to the rear wheels than a stick) that wieghs more, has LESS horsepower and a little more TQ (unless the numbers posted for the 03 were at the ground, and it well could be) is going to walk away. Ignore what the cars are here, it just doesnt make since.

Not that im agreeing with your opinion on the T56 here but,

Christ, and GOD KNOWS that a guy with enough money to purchase a 03 cobra and mod it up to 650 HP (apprently your friend had and did) cant afford a 1300 dollar TKO. **** that would be impossible. No way you can swap another transmission in there. You could even sell that T56 to somebody that wants one, probably get 600-700 bucks easy if it doesnt have many miles on it.

What do you think is wrong with the trans anyway? Its good enough to power a 400 HP car to a 12.80. What's the problem. From a purely mathimatical point of view, it doesnt make any since whatsoever that you would need 250 hp to increase your 1/4 mile from a 12.80 to a 11.99.

German engineering. Thats all I have to say, there's a difference between a Mustang GT automatic gearbox and a German engineered 5 sp automatic gear box, especially on the AMG series cars. Not all RWD have the same % drivetrain loss.

it makes 469 hp and 516 ft lbs of torque, with a transmission that is more consistent than a 6 sp manual that kind of power will be transferred down to the ground with more accuracy.

I don't even know what this is about. I made a statement from testimony I've learned about through someone with mad experience in Cobras. Then suddenly it's "the AMG CAN'T beat the Cobra!" Face it man, Cobras aren't everything they're cracked up to be. They're great and all, but they aren't top dawg.

I thought the Cobra was in the 3700-3800lb range. The exact reason why the S/C'ed motor can't keep up with the ZO6.

Not that im agreeing with your opinion on the T56 here but,

It's not an opinion! Its what Ford reliably tested it's version of the T56 to. LS1 Z28/SS T56s can hold 450 as well, the Z06 T56 can hold 500-525 and the SRT10 T56 can hold upwards of 650-700 hp.

Got that from some magazine website, dunno which one. Just did a search on Yahoo!.

Im not saying that a E55 cant beat a 03. A stock 03 will get whipped.

What im saying is you and your "Friend with mad experence" are both on crack. If you cannot get a 03 into the high 11s with a custom tune, pullys, exaust and a CAI of some sort, and some sticky tires, there is something wrong with your driving.

03s arnt everything they are cracked up to be???? Im sorry, but I find a car that you can get for 35k (and you can, look around) and drop 1.5-2k into it, and have 475 HP dammed impressive.

Yes, and the T45 is rated at what, 350 HP or so? Yet I see an orgy of supercharged 99+ GTs putting out 400 and 450 horsepower, and still using the stock transmission.

Anyways, I have to be at work tomarrow at 9, so im done argueing. If you want to beileve it takes 650 HP to push a 03 into the 11s, more power to you.

You still haven't answered my question, I'll believe you over someone with real world experience with the 03 Cobras if you tell me you've had experience with them, but until then...I tend to believe experience over speculation.

i saw stock cobra doing 12.8, so if you just put some better tires, suspension clutch shortshifter, gears you will be able to do below 12.5 without any problems, the thing is ppl are putting a lof of hp on other stock parts and they getting power but the times cant improve.

Great job you did shut them up [sm=smiley20.gif]

can't we all just get a bong??.... i mean along..

LOL no he didn't shut me up. I just went to bed, besides I can't read **** in that article. He's got the stock T56 and rear end pulling 11.6xx's with 441 rwhp? Cool...but I noticed he's also got some big ass non street legal slicks on & God knows what else done to his car that I can't read because of the tiny ass text. Yes I said "laying down 11s at the track" but you know as well as I do what I meant by that.

Is that Cobra still pulling 11.6s on the street with street slicks? I doubt it.

Come on now owned...If it was a supra or a civic you would believe it. A 03-04 cobra comes from the factory producing 386 rwhp.....Yes Rear wheel Horsepower, so why do you think it's impossible for one to run 11's on street tires with just a pulley change.

One word my friend. EVILCARTMEN... Check out his site. All he did was put a lightning pulley on his cobra and he hit's 11's all day on street tires. If you upgrade the supercharger and Get a Kenne Bell you will be making more than 650 rwhp and that my friend would get you into the mid to low 10's on street tires. Supra's aren't the only beast of the streets now. Make way for the Cobra....LOL I hope i didn't offend you or anyone by my post.... :D

No if it was a Civic or Supra I would believe that it took a lot of work to get into mid elevens. Don't put words in my mouth. Thanks.

An 03 Cobra is a factory freak most of the time, I've seen them make 386 rwhp and I've seen them make 400 + rwhp stock.

Most likely that Supra has more $$$ in the engine than the Stang owner paid for the car. Imagine when the stang owner puts less than 2k in his car.....BYE BYE Supra!!!

The thing you're forgetting about adding the cost of car in there too is the fact that you can buy a mid 90s TT Supra for about 15-20 grand, how much did 100th96 buy his Supra for? (for specific costs per mileage, etc)

Then throw that 18k into the engine, 38k Turbo Supra vs 38k Cobra, the Supra will walk the Cobra.

Dude you can put 18k into a yugo and it would own a cobra and a supra...What's your point? This is what i'm saying...I get so tired of seeing fellas in there stock or nearly stock 03-04 cobras racing highly modified imports thinking there gonna win...It's not gonna happen. All there doing is giving muscle cars a bad name.

When i think of a muscle car the Toyota supra doesn't come to mind...But i honestly feel that it's in a class by itself when it comes to import and the street racing scene. Even in stock form there nearly impossible to beat.

If someone spends 18k on there car there gonna be tough to beat...It doesn't matter if the car's a supra or a sunfire.......18 grand worth of mods to the engine will make a big difference on the street.

ok once again stupidity, ignorance and being illiterate all rolled up in one post. For one thing the first picture says in big black letters. "MID-11S IS EASY WITH THE NEW COBRA. ALL YOU NEED IS A PULLEY AND MICKEY THOMPSON ET STREETS" They are street legal kid, cant you read. That was a bone stock cobra. The only other mods I didnt talk about was that they removed the air box. WOA that was most likely keeping them from 11s lol

Like your name... You just got owned !

Wonder how much boost it takes that 281 to run 11's?

Well there hitting high 12's with 8 PSI from the factory...I would say 10 would be a safe bet. Cobras are supposed to come from the factory with the same pulley that's on the lightning...I don't know why they didn't leave it on there. Must have been a reliablity issue, or they just didn't want to experience the problems they had with the earlier models.

Whatever, you owned no one.

Completely, totally, off the Ford assembly line bone stock cobra my ass. he pulled off a whole 1.2 seconds with slicks and a pulley... yeah, maybe with a few other little tricks here and there, no airbox, mirrors tucked in, **** removed from the trunk, etc.

His Best ET easing it out of gear (to reduce wheel spin even on the slicks) was 12.4 which proves my point right there, without basically slamming the gears like mad.... in other words destroying the transmission, there's NO ****ing way you'd run a pulley/slicks Cobra on the streets to 11.6. After all thats what all this bull**** is about, 11s on the street so you can illegally street race with Supras, right?

You owned no one. You proved that slicks and a pulley can get you 11s at the track, but take that car out on the road and I doubt he'll get anywhere near his 11.6.

owned

This guy he has his import performance shop, gave me a ride in his 96 i think Supra TT pulling about 450rwhp wow that car was going fast. But still all u heard in those cars is s/c and turbo, i hate that. I only like N/A. Natural aspirated car can do 16 and i love it more the 10's turbo or s/c. I mean those r great cars, really nice, but 911 turbo is one of the expensivest and nicest cars on the street, it is still a turbo car which cant give the power without a power adder.



expensivest? thats just funny

so....what do you think of the new '03 Cobra?

Their ok I guess.[sm=smiley2.gif]

The new 03 cobra in 04? :D

When I first saw the 03 Cobra run, I had a hardon...same time I downloaded the first video of this blue Trans Am leaving dirty style. ;)

It's a fast car and I'd respect it more if Ford would just use a bigger, lighter motor to make the power.

03/04 cobra i love it, matter fact probably my favorite car right now (till the 06 Cobra) but its true they think they are the fastest **** they only put $2000 into it and go race a supra that has 650-950 hp and give us a bad name. Supra are fast no lie, but they are not invincible yet some people may make it seem that way. For 1 i bet you the videos they have of supras losing 80% of them arent online cause hate to admit loss. I hate to brake to you imoprt fans but they do lose. But 75% of them have atleast $15,000 under the hood. If you wanna race a big dawg make sure you have atleast 650hp 650tq dont embaress the mustang community... people dont see us as bad as we used to be, now most of the young ppl and some older have tattooded in their head the Supras and Sklyines are the fastest **** but sorry, no. If you wanna be a big dawg and race 900hp cars make sure ur in that range and know how to drive because i know more than likely that a 900hp Stang can take out a 900hp Supra or Skyline remember tq and also another reason some high hp domestics lose is because of your GEARING, dont not i reapeat DO NOT race a supra if you have 4.10 gearing or even 3.90, take it from a stop most likely you'll win. thats for 1/4, supra are mostly top end there are exceptions, race according to your car not to the other guys car wanna race high hp supra have 3.55 or lower atleast 700hp if you wanna take on the highway ur better off

high gearing tkae it from a stop or a 10-20mph roll, if they dont want to to bad, now, 3.55 or lower now you can take it on the highway 03/04 cobras change ur puleys make sure your boosting 17 or 20 psi change tires, exhaust, intake, TB, and diablo chip;) make sure to tune it or......(570-600 hp)

put a t88 turbo change the rearend 9" ford and get a new tranny boost 22 psi few other bolt-ons(800-1000hp) say bye bye supra and skyline.......(just a suggestion)

just curious if I'm the only one that noticed that the cobra in that mag article is wearing dot rated et slicks? u know what that means ... they ARE street tires. uh oh... there goes your whole "it wont run that fast on the street" argument.

On the stock tires it ran 12.10 @ 117mph.

Thats not to bad.

Honestly SI, I am dissapointed, if you can't see how sombody saying it takes 650 hp to run 11's in 03 cobra is utter B.S. than I don't see how posting any information will make you change your mind. It's common sense,a stock 03 cobra=high 12's, slicks will get you down to low 12's and a pully will put you in 11's maybe not 11.60's but 11's. And yes on some cars slicks can drop upwards of one second, they did on Nova, it depends on how much torque the car is making.

Name calling isn't all that nice either.

I never saw this. oh well. The guy I bet I was talking about helped his friend successfully run his Cobra into the 11s... and it took more than 650 hp and slicks to do it. But you know when someone with first hand experience tells me that, I should just cast it off as a lie, right?
