Stock no. Is it hard to make a lot more? No. Boost controller, down pipe, a few other things and your cooking, as long as your tranny holds up (Makes the T45 look good...). But stock it weighs almost 2 tons (w/o the driver) and has 320 hp (new ones). Most of them trap somewhere around 99-100 stock.

I've raced quite a few of them. Back with just gears it always went:

They kill me on the launch (besides one apparent moron)...
About 50-60 I start closing...
About 70-80 I start catching and/or passing them...
90+ I'm usually ahead... Usually...

They're fast cars and usually make for an interesting race (get behind, come back, then...?), but stock they ain't THAT fast.

I ran one with my 2000GT Stang on the high way, he had an edge from 60MPH+, I can imagine he would also gain with an AWD launches ... used to own a AWD TALON TSI, and I would get 1.7 60ft with stock tires....

And you know he was stock how? A large percentage of the people who bother to shell out the $$$ for a VR4, also tend to modify them.

Ty'Cobra, i'm sorry to say I've killed quite a few 95-97 Cobras with my car, and there is no way I could beat that Turbo Stealth, ...there is no way... unless the driver is really FLUFFY (like big time)!

I don't doubt you have with a 13.7 1/4 mile. Maybe you should try some more VR4/Stealths... Stock on stock you should kill them from a roll. From a stand still you should catach them if the race is long enough...

Anyway, interesting grouping of the 95-97 Cobras... I'll mail you a buck if you can give me a good reason for it...
