Well, to make a long story short - I had an exhaust leak so i couldn't get dyno tuned. Henry had my drive around with him altering stuff on his laptop, street tuning i guess. Now my car runs near perfect... but i can only boost .5 bar. Im currently in CA, im going to call the # when i get back, im confident i could still take him with low boost. Thanks for the interest!

If it has a weird reverse induction cowl where the scoop is towards the front of the hood be very careful and very sure that your car is up around 340 horses if you want to race him. The SVT Cobra for 2003-2004 is a beast and only needs a different pulley on the S/C to pick up bigger numbers. If it has little oval inlets on the sides of the car and says cobra go ahead and race him. Even with a supercharger he is looking at 13.0 max in the quarter. I am with everyone else when I say get his badge, or even better race him for his supercharger.
You better run low twelves and not panick.
The cobra is fast if its a real one with the superchager.

I am going to have to agree. Its not like its the GT Mustang, they do have power. My dad raced one with his 'Vette, and beat him by like 1/10 of a second. I think the time was 12.7 rounded. If my dads 'Vette wasnt a 'Vert he would be quicker, but the Cobras arent a joke if it is a real car enthusiasts car. Good Luck.

True the '03 Cobras can make 400-450rwhp easily, but they weigh 3900lbs! I've had people with those cars act in two completely different ways. One refused to race me after his friend taunted him. The other didn't care what I had done to my car; He'd race me and he'd beat me. It's the ignorant ones that make it all worth wild. All I have left to do is beef up the rear end and get it tuned. . .30+ psi here I come! 650rwhp at 2800lbs vs. maybe 400rwhp at 3900lbs.
