Stock Cobra ET times.

Unit 5302 · 11-01-2001, 08:00 PM

It's quite simple 1BAD89. LS1 owners and Ricers quote the fastest time for their cars possible. A stock LS1 M6 will run 12.90@108mph, and an Integra Type R will run a 14.6@96mph.

Here in the real world, Mustang guys quote what the car will run with a good driver. Quite frankly, as SaleenGTS has pointed out, his Cobra made 260RWHP nearly stock. Translate that to flywheel hp, figure in the weight, and his car will run right with a stock LS1.

Even the guys at Motor Trend got a 99 Cobra to run a 13.5@105, and they routinely got the 96-98 Cobra's to pull off 14.0@102, and those guys are no 1/4 mile masters.

GM is widely known for giving factory wringer cars to the testers.

Sorry about the awful typo. If the only thing you can find wrong with my post is a spelling error, I'd say I'm doing alright.

(Notice my use of a complex sentance with inverted order there. "If" was at the beginning of the sentance so to signal the use of a subordinate clause. The subordinate clause required the use of a comma to seperate the multiple ideas expressed in the sentance.) In other words, sometimes I don't care what my spelling looks like so I don't always go back and proofread my posts.

I get the distinct feeling all Mustangs are slow in stock form because your car performed poorly.
