My money's on the Cobra. That GT has got to be a slug off the line with those mods. Sounds like he's done everything he can to kill low end torque so he's not going to get the jump on him out of the hole. And once the Cobra gets the rev's up it's over.

But then again I've lost to cars with less power before since I can't drive for $h!t.

i'd say the gt but it would be very very close depending on driver...check out the article in 5.0 mustang mag they have a 99 cobra / 01 bullitt / 03 mach 1 comparison

Posted by 4.6GT (Member # 2643) on :
 
oh yea i seen the article the 99 cobra is the slowest out of the three.the bullit only has 5 more horses that the gt.

I think the GT from a stop and the Cobra from a roll, either way the winner will come down to the driver.

99 Cobras are the slowest cobras.

I'd rather have a '99 cobra than a '94. Anything but that 94-98 stuff

i think these look a helluv a lot better than 99-03 mustangs but thats my opinion.

When I had similar mods before like 4.6GT and raced a few 98 Cobra's I was able to stay ahead.

If the cobra doesn't win he needs some driving lessons.

As much as I like my 5.0-

Let's see you hit over 106mph at that race weight w/ a 5.0 that has never had the valve covers off or any type of engine work- N/A. Be kinda tough to do. What are the 99 up GT's weighing in- 3450 or so?

---

my brother car traps at 107mph and could fall under this category, but he has an e cam and roller rockers...so you win...

I ran 105.3 per Jim's restriction(s) I think...

edit: in July heat too, 1500' D.A., easy 106 in the winter, about 100#'s net of weight reduction, if you include the fullsize spare/jack in that calc, otherwise like 50#'s of weight reduction, car had full belt, with A/C and smog and PS and everything...

Stock HO intake, E7TE's? And you did not weigh in at 3400lbs.....

Posted by shade-tree (Member # 298) on :
 
ok you got me. I pulled 50#'s out of the car and ran the explorer intake. I'd trade the explorer intake for a bypassed PS pump and a race crank pulley any day.
 

---

Posted by FasterDamnit (Member # 442) on :
 
And you pulled that 50lbs out of a Coupe. Waaaay below 3400...
 

---

Posted by shade-tree (Member # 298) on :
 
Am I supposed to throw 250#'s in the trunk? (actually, if I run PSCA open comp, I have to run 330#'s in the trunk to make weight, lol)

Posted by 90GT (Member # 3) on :
 
Too bad you didn't continue to run that setup into the winter. 105 in august is moving, I'm sure the weather could have offset the intake.

raced 4 96-98 cobras and 1 2001 cobra at sac. beat them all. even stock I could take the 96-98 cobras. It took 4.10's and underdrives to take the 2001. a cobra with 4.10's is a different story, that should be fast. ray

To prove it I can tell you a story about a roush stage 3 I raced the other day. I don't know how I could take him by about 2 cars. He couldn't pull on me. Same thing happened when I raced a blue 03 cobra on capitol. He only took me buy 2 cars. My car is slow isn't it? I hate to brag but I gotta let it out sometime.
