With simple mods like gears, pulleys, exhaust, and sticky tires, the cobra's can dip well into the 12's. It's a great platform to work with, and the parts are relatively cheap to make it go REAL fast.
Thanks StoplightWarrior.

Thanks for clearing that up. I hardly know anything about mustangs, except that I smoke alot of the GT's. But Cobras always seem to be even with me when I race them, especially the new ones. That is the one thing I will miss with my Z, the speed. BUT the cobra seems to be more my style and appealing to me, and I want to make sure they have the speed to back up the bad ***** looks.

I was wondering if you or anybody out there knows the stock gear ratio in the cobra?

Also, could you make an estimate on prices for the parts you suggested. I am seriously thinking about givin up the fbody crew, and joining the Mustang/Cobra crowd. I love the sound of the 4.6.

Another thing, are headers just as hard to put on a Mustang as they are on a Camaro. Cause Install $$$ on Camaro header installs are expensive.

Thank you
