This was an old cobra 5.0 style with x pipe ,headers, big , cam and other mods so this f... stang was damn fast.It said cobra on the bumper with cobra rims.
I told the guy I though it was a 5.0 stang not a modded cobra.

Depends on which "cobra" and which year.

I raced a non S/c cobra (just had the bigger engine in it).

3 times.....

one win, one draw, one loss.

The win came from a 30 roll to 120. Smoked him.

The draw came from a 80 to 130 roll... stayed in 4th gear.

Loss came when I down shifted to 3rd at 80 and when I shifted he pulled a nose on me. After that we were dead even.

Needless to say I was running 9psi on a 90+ deg july day.

Those cars have serious torque. The super charged ones will eat your @$$ with simple mods. A stock ct running 12psi won't beat a modded s/c cobra with an underdrive pully and exhaust.

:p
