So yesterday I am having a convo with a 03-04 cobra owner and I comment that a 460-470rwhp Foxbody will destroy a 480rwhp 03-04 Cobra and the Cobra owner said that because the Cobra has 10-20 more rwhp that it would walk away from the foxbody! Some Cobra owners have no fuckin clue! they really think their car is touched by the hand of god or somethin lol! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

With a good driver and the car set up correctly, a 400hp Fox will own a 480-500hp Cobra any day...

This is exactly what I was getting at with my other post. Its probably the same guy that was giving me the "Cobratude". He couldnt fathom that a solid axle foxbody could run circles around his car at a road course.

Depending on which model, options, & weight reduction, the weight difference can be anywhere between 400 lbs-700 lbs difference with the fox being the lightweight.
My H/C/I coupe with the only weight reduction being smog pump delete, ac delete, & aluminum heads weighs in @ 2,975 lbs with a 1/4 tank of gas in full street trim. An 03/04 Cobra coupe weighs in @ 3,665 lbs in full street trim... So thats almost a full 600 lb difference, which is HUGE imo...

I love the smoothness, comfort, & handling of the newer Stangs, but I'd always love to have another Fox. Terminated Notch would be the shit! Best of both worlds! But anyways, so who's the Cobratude dude? lol! [ September 20, 2010, 08:50 PM: Message edited by: STREETFIGHTER50 ]

As a Cobra owner I hate to hear stories like this I'll admit I wouldn't trade my 03 for anything but damn compared to the other stangs I've had these things are heavy as hell and for someone to tell you 10 HP will be the difference in a race with a significantlly heavier car is F'n stupid, some people lay down cash start the car and think they know everything!
I hope you told him the truth,I had a guy in another 03 couple weeks ago tell me how stock our cars will beat anything out there I kindly reminded him that we have 4000lb cars and there are Z06 vettes all over the place. [ September 20, 2010, 08:54 PM: Message edited by: fstryde3 ]

Bwahahah here we go. That was me talking to Damani @ the picnic. I was talking about a 350 rear wheel fox with a 100 shot making around 450 to the wheel. Which is basically my. Buddy DTB's car. If you ask me it would be a pretty close race against a 470-480 wheel termi.
But there is no way a same power fox and cobra would run together. Simple physics and power to weight ratio would give the fox an advantage. Even 30 or so hp less would make it a drivers race. The same way you see 250 hp civic hatchbacks walking away from SS camaros. I may love my cobra, but that race wouldnt even be up for debate.

Damn you guys are still at it ,let me try ,if it came down to just how fast you want to go you would have to pick a fox over any other as a base, if you want a modular motor ,put it in a fox ,because of weight ,or a pushrod motor ,what ever powerplant you pick you would have to pick a fox, that is if you were a true racer and wanted every bit of horsepower to work for you and let's face it even some chevy guys pick the fox as their base for a race car and throw a chevy base power plant because its tried and true race car ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
