My brother has a 98 Cobra 5 spd with the only mods being Mac long tubes, off road h-pipe and cat-back. We always argue about who can beat who. Right now we cant race cause he blew his motor, so i was just curious of what you guys think. Place your vote.

u should get him. them car are only rated at 305/300. and with exhaust im sure it only puts about 275/270 or so to the wheels. my 89 lx with cai, tfs street intake, stock tb and maf, tremec 3550, and KC clutch put down 212/265.

With ur mods u'll have a huge advange on TQ but the HP would be kinda closer. Have fun!!!

Blake, did you see Holik95's mods?

You will OWN him. 98s are slow.

Didnt realize this was a Cobra in question here, I need to read.

But he would still take him.

And if your car dissapears tomorrow, it was me who took it.

you should take him easily, i raced an 96 snake, and almost beat him. he beat me by half a second. he had 4.10 gears and x pipe.maybe not a good driver. look at my sig for my mods.

You will beat him EASILY in a drag race. Don't race him from a roll, it will be closer.

IF he were to install some 4.10s and some drag radials it'd be a drivers race.

Since when is losing by half a second almost beating someone!?

I used to beat my buddies STI by half a second and he was seeing 95 GT tailights about five car lenghts in front of him...

http://69.164.179.31:8192/newcar/race04b.avi

I ran 13.4 to his 13.9 (before my intake/tb/converter/rockers). You can see how far out in front I am at the end.

a 98 cobra w/ longtubes and full exhaust will put down 300rwhp no problem.

He DEFINATLEY needs gears though, 4.30 at minimum
a geared+exhaust 98 cobra will run high 12's

+1. Power levels are pretty even on the two cars. You may have more torque...

Only one way to find out...:Track:
