Hi , i was thinking about your Quote above. I don,t mean to Bash you or start a war , i,m just being curious. So , let me get this straight , your Mostly stock 1996 hit 150 mph with 3.73 quickly . What gear were you in . If my memory is correct , the 96 were the lowes t powered stangs for a while , given 215 HP in a 3600 lb car that would take a Long run i would have though . Again , i,m just asking the question . The Cobras would hit 154 ish in 4th gear with 3.27 , with 3.73,s it would be 202 MPH in 5th gear . Stock Cobras will not pull that much !
When you say "Mostly Stock " was it Supercharged or did it have Nitrous ??

It was a 96 Cobra with O/R H-pipe, Cat back, intake silencer removed, Jet chip and the cams were properly aligned. With a 4v you can often pick up 15+ hp by having the cams aligned better then they did at Ford. That car out down 299.8 rwhp and was very fast. There are a few members on here that have seen it in person and have seen how fast it was.
This picture was taken 4-5 seconds before I let off because I hit the high mark on the speedo.

First off let me appologize , i thought it was a 96 GT !! I still have a question though.
What gear were you in when you pulled top speed and how many rpm,s .In the pic you sent thats 140 MPH at 4900 rpm , is that correct ?
I,m just trying to get it in my head coz i have 4.10,s in mine and approx 450 rwhp. I,ve never tried a drag strip , never tried a standing mile . I just wanna know how fast my car reallly is if i beat it .

That was in 5th gear and my GPS was reading 148 at that point. I didnt look at the GPS though when it hit 160 on the cluster. Barley had time to hit save on the phone and flip it shut before I threw it on the seat. Car was rediculous. I had a 97 Cobra before it and have driven other 96-98 Cobras and that one was just weird IDK if it was from the cam timing or what but the cars acceleration from 3200-6800 was linear, it just pulled and kept pulling.

Wow, i guess theres no arguing that , these must be fast cars i guess. Did you ever do 0-150-0 tests ? Thats what i would like to try and also standing mile for MPH .
