What is the top 1/4 mile time for a stock 01 Cobra? So far the best for a stock Mach 1 with stock tires is 13.13, and that was with a bad take off. We have several owners who will be dynoing in the next few weeks, so we will know the truth about these cars then. Team Mustang has been quoted " the 01 Cobra is no match for the Mach 1". I would say they would know better than anyone, since they built the things. And the motors are not identical, Jack Roush designed the drivetrain specifically for these cars. Check on the registry, we have already broken down the parts list of the motor forums, very few parts are common between the two motors.
Possibly the guy you beat just didn't know how to race.

Not trying to flame or anything, just posting the facts in case you didn't know.

With minor mods I believe this car could reach the 03 Cobra area.

He actually took me off the line and I reeled him in.

MM&FF quoted the 01' cobra at 13.13 also.

The best I have done is a 13.66 @3000ft which would be a 13.30 @sea level.

Chech out the new car and driver they got a 14.0 out of the new mach 1.

01 cobras produce between 270 and 275 RWHP. stock

If you have any of your Mach 1 buddies that live anywhere near me. Set it up and bring a camera.

I will let them know! Regarding C+D, I really doubt they can drive either. They don't seem to like american made cars at all, but thats just my opinion.

I agree with you there..........they only ran a 13.8 with my car.

They only ran a 14.7 with the new GT's

No, you read that right... I believe that BMW's are over-engineered CRAP! If you ever own one, have to work on one, or have to buy a new exhaust system for one, for example, you'd understand.

They wear out just like any other car on the road... I get to hear people cry about the price of a replacement exhaust system on their 'beemers' when they stop in at the muffler shop. Ever price a system for a VW, er, uh, I mean BMW? And they rot out just as quick as any other vehicle on the road with a rear mounted muffler.

Chevy Cavalier cat back exhaust system... $120-$150
BMW cat back exhaust system................... $1200-$1500+

(we're talking exhaust systems here, nothing exotic about that)

It's ridiculous!

I kind of like the lines of the car - not exactly what they've got going on in the pic, but maybe a little 'thinner' with similar lines. I definitely do not like the back - way too 'fat' or 'bulky'; reminds me of the big butt on the newer Corvettes.

Now go ahead and tell me I'm a nut, I'm a big boy!

hey bro we'll burn together..

i personally love it..
its different, edgier, kinda look like a zo6 from the back.. extremely sexy.. and this is bone stock remember people..

anybody got a picture of a hardtop?.. it soo 60's fastback i want a hardtop in sliver with side pipes

Well,
Dark_5.0, I guess by the way you figure the Air Differences
by using the "See Level" method My Mach I would be running
in the 12.90's in T-Town since it is 2087 ft below "Oh" dessa's
mean sea level, and I always thought your State was "BAJA"
Oklahoma. Hell what do I know.
Sure would like to see ya come to the Mid America Meet and we could see how bad you Cobra is in a Straight Line and in a Round & Around fashion.

Okay, I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with "T-town", or apparently the language you speak there. Could you write that one more time in American english?

Thanks

By reading your sig it appears you dont even have your mach 1 yet.

Its not a sea level method. Its a fact cars run slower @ 3000ft.

I guess what I am trying to say is I know what my car runs and you are talking out of your @ss.

If you were to beat me, no problem...If I thought of my 01' cobra as a race car it wouldnt be stock.

A 13.6 hardly makes my cobra fast, and the question at hand here isnt mach 1 vs. 01' cobra........claims were made that the mach 1 could hang with the 03' cobra.

I dont doubt that with equal drivers the mach 1 would slightly beat the 01' cobra.

Question #1 - What the hell is 'T-Town'?

Question #2 - What's up with the 'BAJA' comment?

Question #3 - What makes you think that you'll chew up Dark_5.0 with a 2003 Mach 1? I'm serious here, I'd like some reasoning behind your implied claims.

As promised here are the first dyno results for the 2003 Mach 1. Make your own decisions.

SAE corrected---- HP= 282.3 and the torque was 311.1

Actual numbers-- HP=297 and the torque was 327.3
______________________________________

Those are about what I expected to see. But now you must see why I think yall are retarded comparing that to a car that comes stock with.

390 HP and 390 TQ at the wheels.

I always thought the SAE corrected numbers were more accurate.

My friends 01' cobra dyno was 273 SAE corrected HP. with a K&N.

The 03' mach1 should be pretty quick with the 3.55 gears and LS-1 like HP.
nice torque curve

In case anyone is interested, here is one of the latest 1/4 mile times for a totally stock 03 Mach 1 with a non-professional driver. 13.262 @ 105.78. I guess Killer55 might be right about T-Town this spring. (T-Town is Tulsa by the way.)

Oh and by the way, that 13.262@105.78...read the thread completely and you may notice that the Mach 1's time was better than that of two of the three 03 Cobras running that night. Imagine that, the 03 Mach 1 can run with the 03 Cobras.

Yep with 400+ @ the wheels and street tires traction owns you.

The last week the track was open a 98 cobra with slicks and gears phucking smoked an 03 cobra by 6 tenths. I thought that was pretty cool.

13.26 aint bad,
