This is just to see who would win a race between two of my friends. One is a 2006 Cobalt SS/SC with stage 2, GMPP exhaust, NGK plugs. The other has a 1996 mustang cobra with a CAI and exhaust. Vote only twice for the two out comes you think will happen. Thanks

 

I am the friend of Blown SS. Our other friend is the one with the 1996 Cobra. I was just wondering if you guys think I can take it with my mods. I know from a dig, I have a feeling I am going to get my ass handed to me. I figured from about a 35 mph roll, so I can be sitting in 2nd. From experience, Cobalts to not get off the line worth ****. I never actually launched it yet, so I think I obviously have the better edge from a roll. Any one have experience with a Cobra non SC or a GT? Thanks.

 

anyone else have any commets/suggestions?

 

youll get your ass handed to you ive raced one just ****** around while he was just chirpin tires and i was pushin full throthle he was still next to me when he hooked up he was gone so you might pull a little bit but in the end hell win

 

you dont think from like a 30ish roll I wont be able to hang with it? Its the '96 Cobra, not supercharged. I know its like rated at like 305 Hp or something, but its heavy. I just wasnt sure if a stage 2 would keep up.

 

They only do the 1/4 in 14 flat so i think from a roll you'll win but yes from a stop he has a very good advantage.

 

Any one have mustang race outcomes from experience?

 

I raced a near 96 in my GTO, he didn't stand up to well and he wasn't so cocky after he only saw tail lights : ( poor mustang.

 

only loss was to a 2004 cobra with a pulley intake and exhaust... kid couldn't drive but I fucked uo my launch... he ran 13.74 I ran a 13.94.

 

Any N/A Cobra I have raced has been at the track and I have beat them.

Edit: I lost to a 99 at the track when I was stock.

 

With my mods, can I take it with a roll? I think its a drivers race. That is my opinion on it all pretty much.

 

oh yeah drivers race for you.

 

A 96 with those mods , the Cobalt will have both scenario's covered . Thats if the Cobalt driver can get the car off from a dead stop somewhat cleanly . I lined up with a 99 Cobra a few weeks ago at the track ....my 2.19 60ft 13.98@100 to his 2.21 60ft. 14.45@98 . No clue if the car was stock or not I never talked to the guy .

They were heavy ass cars with the IRS that made just a few ticks more RWHP than a LT1 F-body . A 96-01 Cobra with 4.11 or 4.30 gears is a different story though . Either of those ring gears tremedously help that heavy stang in the motivational department

 

What kind of 1/4 mi do you think I should be able to run with a stage 2 and gmpp exhaust?

 

Also, if you guys were gonna run a cobra, what way would you think would be best? Roll? 20mph.. 30mph.. just wondering what everyone has to say about the matter. Thanks a lot. I did try a couple times.. pushing the throttle down a couple times when I was out driving, rolling at like 5 mph maybe, just spins and wheel hops sometimes.. it sucks. I guess if I would have to launch it hard, just to ease into the throttle im assuming? launch at like 1500 rpms or so?

 

anything?

 

People have posted times, look it up.

 

In order to get a feeling of a roll race, wouldn't you look at the trap speeds of the cars? If your cobalt can trap like 103-104, wouldn't that make you able to stay even with a GTO or even pull away since they trap about the same?

 

That is what I would assume. I think from a roll it should be pretty close. I know from a dig, he should just launch. I obviously am gonna spin like hell or wheel hop. I think from like a 30 mph roll, I should be able to run with it, if not pull. I guess we will find out in a couple weeks.

 

Get it on video

 

Cobras off the line with just sit there and have lost of tire spin. from a 35mph roll it will have some tire spin but it will be pulling HARD

 

From a dig the Cobra should win,but from a roll the Cobalt might win if the Cobra is near stock.I've got a '01 Cobra and the Cobalt and stock to stock it wouldn't be much of a race,but then again the '01 Cobras are the strongest of the N/A Cobras[mid 13s at 105-106mph],and quite a bit stronger than the 96-98s.Now with the gears and bolt ons its a high 12 second car.But on the other side,my Cobalt is bone stock and I would imagine the stage 2 kit really wakes these cars up.Just race him and see what happens!!!!

 

Snakeman, your giving the 2001 Cobra a way to much credit.

And some of you need to take note that the 1995-1998 Cobra wasn't a IRS equipped car.

As for performance the SS/SC will kill it from a dig or a roll, they are about equal to a 199-2004 GT in straight line performance but handle a little better due to larger sway bars and stiffer spring rates.

All of the high revving DOHC 4.6's have serious potential but in stock form a 1996-1998 is pathetic. Even though it was rated at 305HP a 275HP rated F-Body make short work of them.

 

I raced an 98 SVT Cobra that had X-Pipe, Cat-Back and CAI, I put 1 car length on him from a dig... he wouldnt race from a roll after that

I've also raced a 2003 SuperCharged Cobra from a 40mph roll and was neck to neck with him...

Here is the video!

So you put only one car on a very high 13 low 14 second Cobra and kept up with a 12 second one.

Care to explain...........
