Thumbs up EZRIDN Vs. '03 Cobra...'99 C5.....Shelby Charger 2.2L..Check these out.

Hit the town tonight in the LS1 lookin for some runs since i could not hook up any on the net You guys will love these...)

C5..First run

Got a light with a cocky C5 owner that smirked when i pulled up next to him. Light changed and i waited for him to hit it and he did at around 10 mph. The Z pulled him a good 2.5 cars to 85 where i shut down .

'03 Cobra....2nd run

Followed an '03 around with i could tell a cat back and he had an Eaton Inside sticker on it. I pull up next to him finally and ask for a dead stop run and he agrees and follows me to the Mexico test track. I count down and we get a good dead even start. i pull i good half a car out of the hole. A4 clicks 2nd and the '03 hits 2nd and we are even through that gear. He clicks 3rd before the A4 and he starts his pull. we shut down with my speedo readin 90 with him approx 1.5 cars ahead. We pull over and talk and i KNOW with how loud that blower was screamin that he was not stock, but he claimed we was except for the Bassani exhuast. Let me tell you though, that Eaton was screamin so i was thinkin he was packin more....He videoed the race and he is T3Cobra on svt.performance.com. He might post it under the '03 section.

While trying to set up a run with a Mystic Cobra the '03 Pulls up and we start chattin again. The Mystic wants none of the LS1 or '03. Then a 90ish Shelby Charger 2.2L pulls up with some gauges and asks for a run. We agree for a 3 way run kickin it @ 40 mph (A4s dead spot but i wanted to run). i never coudl get lined up with them, but they ran with the '03 pullin slightly every run. So me and the Shelby kick it from 60 with him getting the jump and he pulls me good a couple cars to 90mph

Then we hit a 25 roll with a killer even start. The LS1 pulled a half car and the the 2.2L started to pull back even. Hit 3rd and the Shelby started to walk the dog on the LS1. I let off at around 110ish and he had a good 2.5 cars and pulling hard. I run him again from 60 Mph and he pulled a good 4 cars with him getting the jump by around 100-105mph.

We pull over and chat and these 2 guys in the 2.2L where awesome. We chatted forever and I got to ride in the 2.2L He reported that it had 22lbs of boost, 50 some lb injectors, exhaust, intercooler, weight reduction, etc. He reported on 15lbs he ran a 13.0 @ 107.5 with 42# injectors and some other things. Had a great time with him and we even tried to run the C5 i smoked earlier but he wussed out. Had an awesome time meeting them and they reported that they started a web site i think it was TurboDodge.com.

Anways...thought i would share some killer runs.

Nice runs, I have zero trouble beating the C5's in my cobra.

The other 2 runs were against some serious comp it sounds like.

I decide not to street race this weekend cause its a holiday weekend and there will be too many cops and drunk drivers out.

Sounds like the dodge was real sleeper,

He was a sleeper....Stock rims and everything...ha ha ha.

BTW...the '03 reported that he ran a 8.4 1/8 when he was stock. My last time to the track i went 8.5s in the 1/8.

In addition...i did some searching and found out about the '03 car...Here is the "stock" as reported by the owner '03 that i ran. This is off the svt.performance web site that he said he posted on under T3 Cobra.

Why can't I find these guys when I'm out hunting? Perhaps like the unlucky hunter I need to move my blind.

Zero trouble you say I can assure you C5's are Serious competition especially if you have an 01 Cobra. Actually they are a bit out of your league

For some reason I thought a C5 was a pre-97 vette. You are right they are outta my league I am 1-5 against them and the one I beat was an auto vert and I barely beat him.

So my bad, I am retarded.

Hey, we already knew that, Dark.

Good runs. That little Dodge sounds insane.

8.94@81.96 ??? Whats up with that? I run solid 8.40's@85+ with my '99 SS automatic, I know '03's are faster than that! I saw one a few weeks ago at the track, this track I usually trap higher mph 87+ for some reason? anyway, there was a '03 Cobra there running 8.40's@91 on street tires! I know they are strong runners, the car sounded awesome with the blower! it kinda made me want a blower!

The '03 I metioned was stock also and was trapping 91mph. this track is usually off (high) by 1-2 mph though. Still should have been 89 - 90.

No problem I'm suprised you have been able to race 6 C5's most are owned by old dudes who have never seen the redline and would "never"race their precious Vette You must be a good instigator

Are you drunk when you post such crazy stuff? Most (99.95%) of stock 03 cobra's are trapping low to mid 80's in the 1/8 I have never seen a stock one go 90's that's what the pullied ones with exhaust are trapping.

Yeah, I'm drunk! Believe whatever you want, the guy said it was stock, I'm not a Cobra guy so I don't know? I trap 87+ at this track, the Cobra was trapping 91+ my buddy's '02 Z-28 M6 w/a hot cam was trapping 91+ also. I normaly trap 85+ at BMP but LMP is alway higher for some reason. I have been racing F-Bodys for 15yrs so please don't act as if I have no clue as to what I am talking about! all I keep hearing is how bad the new Cobras are and that they trap 112+ stock in the 1/4. I have yet to see one run the 1/4 so I have no idea, if you were talking about F-Bodys or C5's or even Z06's I could tell you, I know nothing about the '03 Cobras other than the 1 I have seen running in the 1/8th mile!

Yeah I guess I am, I had a good race last night I raced a 03' SS with exhaust.......I executed a perfect launch and had a half a car lead then I power shifted 2nd only to see the guy walk me by about 3-4 cars to 90 mph

I had no idea they were that fast .........He was cool about it though and said he has hung neck and neck with an 03' cobra.

I dont doubt it,

I definetly agree with LS1JAY. As soon as I read that figure I was like something is NOT right. When I was running 310 rwhp (mild SC application) I was running 81 mph trap speed.

Ain't no way a stock 03 cobra was running 91 in the 1/8th. He was lying to you. like I said the modded ones are running 90.5-95 with the 90.5 one being in the 447 rwhp range and the 95 one being full mod 489rwhp with a 100 shot. both with 2.0 60''s.

My two younger Brothers have 03 cobra's one full mod 479rwhp one just a filter and no silencer

Modded one - 12.26 @ 118 2.002 60' 92.1 mph in the 1/8
other one - 13.33 @ 109 2.012 60' 83.3 mph in the 1/8

and I have seen many(20-25) other's pretty much follow suit with those numbers

Dark, You need to mod that cobra and keep those pesky SS's from doing that!

[Dark, You need to mod that cobra and keep those pesky SS's from doing that!

Im working on it. LT headers, X-pipe and 4.10 gears.

After that whatever it runs it runs. I gotta finish my LX and get it into the 11's.

Later.

My 03 Cobra has only BBK X-Pipe, Flowmaster cat-back, and K&N filter. On the F1's I went 90 mph in the 1/8. BTW bone stock in 90 degree weather I went 85 mph in the 1/8.

Not trying to flame, just giving proof.
