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

Green- 1995 Z28 w/ LS1 Swap
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.

Pewter- 2000 Z28 Camaro
Next is JATO assist!!! 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.

Pewter- 2000 Z28 Camaro
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.

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
