Stock Cobra ET times.
 

what does a stock 95 Cobra run to a '99, 01'(?)-02' Cobra?

*i don't remember which recent year they did not make them*

94-95 cobras run 14.30-14.40s bone stock.

They didnt produce a Cobra in 00 due to the 99 model lack of claimed horsepower.

Stock should be low 14s. This depends on driver, altitude, track, traction, and sometimes people get "factory freaks" that seem to perform above the normal and make everyone else notice.

I'm probably gonna get hammered for saying this. I've run a few Cobra's on the street and on the track too ('95-'99). I've either run even or beaten them. My car runs high 13's or low 14's at the track at about 100 mph.

Granted, some of these 5.0's and 4.6's have been convrtibles (extra weight). 2001's I would love to try and would surely get nailed (I hope). When I get my heads, I'd hope to beat them too.

I don't think a bone stock 95 cobra could pull off a 14.30-14.40, let alone a low 14. I would lean towards higher 14's.

I got a 14 flat in my 97 Cobra vert(the one I had). I've read and heard(haven't seen) that the latest cobra can run 13.5s.

You're referring to '01 Cobras aren't you for the 13.5, rbatson?

Its odd that my car with 215hp stock beat my friends 95 Cobra with 240hp stock. We both had similar mods at the time like H pipe and air filter. He didnt catch me till the top of 4th waay after the qtr mile was over. With the stock gears I was passing the traps in third.

Must be the 2001 model. They haven't released the 2002 model yet.. have they?? I wasn't sure, that why I left it open(the latest). 13.5 is nothing to sneeze at..

I did some reesearch and they said '01 Cobra can only run 13.8 and that's when they have the right tires on it. That's not much difference in a GT that can run 14 to high 14's. What's up with that??

1BAD....Hi 14's??? Lookie here. GT-40 heads and a GT-40 Intake alone is a 40-45 hp increase. I think you all are underestimating the 94-95 GT-40 cars. Now they aren't as fast as the 93 Cobra, due to some weight issues, but I think they are far worthy of a 14.1-14.3@98-100. Look at it this way. You see cars with the same heads trapping 105 UNPORTED, so I see no reason why they shouldn't run a low 14.

I ran a 95 Convertable whrn I was running 13.90's and I had him by about a full car up to about 80-85.

As for the 2001's
Car and Driver tested one at a 4.8 0-60 and a 13.5@105 on street tires.

ACHOO!!!! Excuse me....I had to sneeze there.

..hey guys, my 93 Cobra, slightly modded with 102K miles on it runs a best 14.46 spinning the tires. yes, i need to learn how to drive better, and maybe i have some lost power due to the mileage, but....driver makes the big difference here. just my .02. later!

My brother had a 93 cobra. It was 100% stock except for a k&n and a short belt. His best was a 13.79 @ 10x. I dont remember the MPH.

It's all the driver.

I'll be a ricer, or an LS1 guy for a minute.

The 1993 Cobra will run a 13.70@102 stock.
The 1994-1995 Cobra will run a 13.90@101 stock.
The 1996-1998 Cobra will run a 13.80@102 stock.
The 1999,2001 Cobra will run a 13.50@105 stock.

Back in the normal world.

The 1993 Cobra should run about 14.2@101.
The 1994-1995 Cobra should run about 14.3@100.
The 1996-1998 Cobra should run about 14.0@102.
the 1999,2001 Cobra should run about 13.8@104.

That's what I would expect a decent driver to pull out of those cars. A shitty driver could put those cars into the 15's.

If a stock SN95 GT is hangin with an SN95 Cobra with equal mods, it's quite simple. The GT driver kicks *** , or the Cobra driver sucks, or both. Even with the god aweful calibrations for the computet the Cobra puts down better than the said 235-240hp. With just a couple very minor mods those cars put down 260RWHP, not crank. The stock GT will NEVER do that unless it's been modded.

UNIT, I think your mph #'s are REAL optomistic, espeacially when put next to the times. I'v seen a few late cobras at the track with many mods including gears and drag radials that had a HELL of a time getting in the 13's.

Optimistic???? how do you figure that? Remember, from 93 up they rated the cars closer to RWHP than FWHP. These cars DO HAVE quality power making parts.

So basically you are saying that those heads and Intakes, cams and Rockers aren't good enouth to hit 100 mph. That to me is a brave thing to say in a mustang room. I had a 93 Cobra with a full Bassani Exhaust, 77mm MAF, 70 mm TB and pullies hit 260 at the tires. It ran 105's. All the time you see GT-40 guys running 104-106's in here, so why can't the stock cars do the same? I know magazines don't mean squat to some, but MM&FF tested a bone stock 93 Cobra to a 13.7@104 not too long ago. Stock Fox's run in the 97-98 mph range all day and some cars even hit 100 sometimes. So you are saying that the Cobra isn't much faster if at all then the Fox? Hmm....Units numbers look more pesimistic than optimistic to me.

Sorry, no flame, I just haven't been around in a while and have been missing out on some action. My mouts has been salivating http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Later guys

They got the 01' cobra to run a 13.5 by removing the air silencer spraying the hell out of the track and power shifting every gear. (dont forget professional driver)

I know a guy with a stock 96' mistic cobra he runs 14.20' @99mph @3000ft Now that is nothing to sneeze at. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

Very low 14's all the way for a 94-95 Cobra. And, Unit/Dustin, you're right, those 1/4 times and traps seem to be inline to me!

***but MM&FF tested a bone stock 93 Cobra to a 13.7@104 not too long ago.

Just for comparison sake, that same mag. had a bone stock SS running 12.70@ like what 109? on street tires.

Just more proof from the real world. ;o)

***1BAD....Hi 14's??? Lookie here. GT-40 heads and a GT-40 Intake alone is a 40-45 hp increase. I think you all are underestimating the 94-95 GT-40 cars.

You see cars with the same heads trapping 105 UNPORTED, so I see no reason why they shouldn't run a low 14.

Maybe.........I haven't seen it yet. It's always the driver and we all know that, but I'll give it a 14.5, I never said it wouldn't run that. I smoked a 95 Cobra at the track the other day really bad, along with a 98 cobra and a few other cars. Me and the 98 Cobra had a pretty decent race, until a little before mid track and I just started pulling hardcore.

***Even with the god aweful<---- calibrations for the computet the Cobra puts down better than the said 235-240hp.

Is that just a mis-type or you really think you spell awful like that? ;o)

***I'll be a ricer, or an LS1 guy for a minute.

The 1993 Cobra will run a 13.70@102 stock.
The 1994-1995 Cobra will run a 13.90@101 stock.
The 1996-1998 Cobra will run a 13.80@102 stock.
The 1999,2001 Cobra will run a 13.50@105 stock.

Back in the normal world.

The 1993 Cobra should run about 14.2@101.
The 1994-1995 Cobra should run about 14.3@100.
The 1996-1998 Cobra should run about 14.0@102.
the 1999,2001 Cobra should run about 13.8@104.

That made no sense.
