98 z28 vs 98 cobra

my buddy has a 98 cobra wit some random mods (cold air intake x pipe single chambers a few others i think i never pay attention ) he claims 300 rwhp and 350tq he has a tune im doubtful its really there with out headers but im not a mustang expert he claimed he would beat me... we raced a few times from a roll and once from a dig i didnt pay attention to where i was but i beat him pretty bad . he got the jump traction was an issue but reeled him in quickly and left him (ill post the best video )
he says he has more tq than me and a better low end just no mid & top end i just let him

he was furious lol he went bought 4.10s and wants to run again this weekend ill post vids after

my mods

4:10's will make a big difference for any car honestly, let us know how the next race goes

i dont doubt that ...im eager to race.... i havent raced one with 4.10s that i know of

Stock auto's suck from a roll.....especially w/ 273's...Cobra's are 99% driver cars, theres no way you would have ran past him like that w/ a competant driver from a roll, not saying you couldnt have won but not like that.

You got this!!!

2 months later it happened again same outcome ....he got a tune the 4.10s and I added a bbk intake

Nice kill but it almost looks like the video is doctord up a bit, I hope not! Its always nice to spank a Ford!

lol no its not "doctord" if i knew how to alter videos id somehow beat a buggatti lol
thanks though here are some videos
98 z28 vs 98 cobra - YouTube

the first one had a botched honk off

98 z28 vs 98 cobra part 3 - YouTube

from a 30ish roll i let him honk it off he jumped the gun

its all in good fun though now hes getting a supercharger

damn u smoked him bad

Next is JATO assist!!!:chuckles: Actually, I have had the same experience with S187 Mustangs at the drag strip. They come on strong out of the hole and the Camaro just walks on past them about mid track. Every time that happens the Mustang guy cops a "missed shift" plea, without exception. All his 4.11s did was give him a little extra pop out of the hole, where he alread had an edge, but they will limit his trap speed. My 2000 Z28 is also an A4 with 2.73 gears. My best run was 13.44 @ 107.43 mph. I was looking to upgrade to a series 2 3.45 rear end out of a M6 car but I've been told a 3400 stall would do more for the car's performance than a set of gears.

Jato assisst?

Jet Assisted Take Off. It was a technique tried out in the early jet age to get some of the heavier military aircraft off the ground in a short runway situation. Still used on some versions of the C-130 to get heavy loads off the ground more quickly. Kind of a Wiley Coyote (I assume I won't have to explain that reference) solution, like the Acme Rocket pack. Thought it might help the guy's Mustang beat the Cammy.:naughty:

Oh ok I learned something yeah I want gears but I'm waiting on a sweet deal on a rear End bcuz I hate having to set pinion depth n all that good stuff I'm not sure I want a cam I wanna see how fast I can get it with the stock cam

Nice kills. Always nice to see the people who talk smack get smacked down. And yeah, I'd do the stall before changing gears, unless you get the M6 3.42 set-up for real cheap. Then, a stall!

As a current 96 cobra owner looking for a GTO he's NOWHERE near claimed HP/TQ. He's around 280/265 WHP/TQ respectively. I have I/LT/OR-X/E/3.73s tune and suspension and Dyno at 289/279 run 13.5-13.7s. He's not making anything near 350 TQ. These cars require 4.30s to wake them up. Small displacement+high revving V8 requires very steep gears. 4.56s and radials put em in DEEP 13s.

Just some insight. Good kills

Yeah I figured his numbers weren't what he claimed (i claim to be stock to nor scare people away and my tds are pretty quiet im not sure )but it's time for a new motor my old ls1 has 195 on clock time for some more cubes

You have some great traction, eh? What's your 60 ft at the drag strip, 1.7x? Last April I had a 1.98 on my new Potenza RE 760s, and ran a 12.97 @ 108.2. Also, your lower curb weight helps, not like the 3800 lb+ new ''pony'' cars.
