Here is a pic of my old car....97 cobra...

and


The Cobra in the bodystyle went from 94 to 98...here are the horse power & torque specs...

94 & 95 - 240 hp / 289 lbs torque
96 thru 98 - 305 hp / 300 lbs torque

I would love to have an 03 390 hp / 390 lbs of torque....(actually will be getting an 05 or 06, when the new bodystyle comes out )

great job Jody, you should have asked him . how does it feel to get spanked by a four cyl.

It most likekly was not a 2003 with the 390HP, Supercharged, They make 13.5 from the factory.

93-95, we can beat with no problems.
96-98, it is hard but not imposible, it all depends on the driver.

Newer than that,........

Like i said in my latest string, I saw a new Cobra take off and it looked lmpossible to beat, It destroyed a Modded Supra.

Punch says he got beat by a Mach 1,and they have 305 Horses.

anyway, Another kill for the PT-GT pack!!

They can have 300 horses or more, but it all comes to those secconds of acceleration, and if they blink, they are PT-meat!!!

plus mustangs weight a TON

I took a 2003 Cobra at the 1/8 last week, but I shouldn't have. He was probably the worst driver I have ever seen. He bogged it off the line, nearly caught up in 2nd, but missed third. He lost. I ran a 9.471 at 73.48 MPH on that run with a .602 light. I was stoked!

[Punch]

mustangs are aprox 3200lbs, isn't that what we are?

[Cal Cruzer]

Yeah, we got no weight savings over the mustang

[COP TZER]

bottom line is that when you're racing a stang and your GT is auto, it all comes down to how good the stang driver is. If the stang knows how to launch properly a lightly modified PT GT will get eaten alive. To even hope to take modded GT stangs your PT GT will need most of the boltons and especially a good boost controller...
BUT GOOD KILL!!!!
