I know I will lose this race I am just curious if it will be embarassing? I have a 95 GT with CAI,Catback,O/r Xpipe,3.73's AND I would race a stock 96 Cobra. I sorta get that feeling I may get raped.

I dont think its 100 more hp. If im not mistaken, a stock cobra should dyno in at the mid 250's. You are most likely in the 180-190's. I gotta agree though, bring that vaseline haha

the early cobras had a different style head(still 4v, but not the c series heads). they have about 290 at the flywheel, which equates to about 265(est.) at the wheels. those gears will help you greatly, and i dont think the cobra will walk him if its stock, but the cobra will win with a half decent driver. the 5.0 will get him out of the hole, but the cobra will come back and pull a little

if you are a great driver and are racing 1/4 is should be close but i still think the cobra will win. if you race him from a roll hes going to be putting a few lenths on you for sure

if he doesnt have gears you will get him out of the hole...but 40-50-60 mph he will fly by you like your standing still I would say.

If you don't spin badly I think you can atleast keep up with him through a couple gears but once you start moving his higher horsepower motor will let him pull on you pretty good.

Get a length ahead from the get go and flash them lights... but don't slow down. Just keep going... maybe he'll get annoyed because you hit the lights and not go flying by you, and theres youre win. :hammer:

The only thing that helps you is that its the first year modular engine, what does not help is that its the Cobra version. You can hope he's a crappy driver and blows the tires off the line and just keeps spinning but realistically Id say your looking at a pretty decent loss, probably not the anal raping type but you will get beat down
