2001 Cobra's- Tremec 5spd

91LX2Bfast · 12-04-2000, 10:05 PM

I was on the SVT website and the 2001 Cobra's have a Tremec 3650 trans. Is this new to the Cobra's, or have they always had the heavy duty trans? The motor is still rated at 320HP. Lets hope they are conservative this time around and it runs a heck of a lot faster then the 13.8 @ 102 that they have listed.

I don't know. In 99 they had a Tremec built T45. I haven't heard that they have changed, but it would be nice if they did.

But as far as the 13.8; SVT is conservative in their performance estimations. My manual says that my car, stock, runs 0-60 in 5.9, and the 1/4 in 13.99@100. The best completely bone stock, down to the filter and tires, (Completely stock) I've ever heard of, with a time slip, and many credible witnesses including Bob Crosby of the Corral, is a 13.08. So with descent driving, and as long as you don't live in Denver, I think the SVT numbers are a lower bound.

Have you heard anything about the axles? From the Cobra R, harder axles do a IRS good.
