01 cls with xs headers and icebox vs stock 98 cobra convertable. Any guesses?

 

i say the cobra

 

+1

 

cobra. mid to high 12 sec qtrs

good luck

 

this is a 98 cobra convertable with a former honda owner driving it it has 100k and the stats on a coupe are 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and the quarter in 13.9 the question is how much weight did the convertable add?

 

the added weight from it being a vert will slow it down a bit. but, i still think the Snake will win. do you plan on taping this? you should be the camera car.

 

yes it will be taped

 

I've owned both. Cobra should win if it's a good driver.

 

Numbers for a coupe, not a convertible:

1998 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT 5.4 14.0

If it's a bad driver you might have a shot. Definitely post the results.

 

1998 Ford Mustang Cobra:

Curb Weight, coupe 3,439
Curb Weight, convertible 3,581

Hmm, you definitely should be close even with a decent driver.

 

You also have to think from a stop the CL-S will have more problems getting a jump off the line. I think it's a driver's race to be honest.

 

hey. where did you get these stats from?

edit: i think i've asked you before, but wth.

 

Here you go:

And yeah, you did ask me before... gotta save that shizzit as a favorite! I check it almost everyday.

 

from a roll i think you should have a good shot

 

this and if he misshifts/hesitates in shifting.

and CLariSe-169. this stats page looks like its pretty close on most of the times. and yes, i bookmarked it. the page i used to check is no longer available.

 

bro when is this going down? satuday? i want a shot at this cobra

 

hopefully we can get my friend in the 07 type s to go down also... they probably wont want to go if its crappy weather

 

You = 14.9 @ 95mph (if you are a stock 01 CL-S)

Him = 14.0 @ 100mph (assuming bone stock)

The vert adds about 150lbs to the Cobra, but even then its not much, if any, heavier than the CL-S. Do you know he is bone stock? Typical bolt-ons to the 4V N/A Cobra make ALOT more hp than bolt-ons to the CL-S. He can do full exhaust/pulleys/timing bump/rear gears and run mid/low 13's with traction.

You are going to lose, unless the driver of the Cobra doesnt know what a clutch is. My guess is you take him off the line by a 1/4 car, then he's gonna pull HARD after he gets into 2nd gear. They are much faster cars from a roll than from a stop. The 96-01 Cobra's dont make much power until 3k rpm.

BTW they came from the factory with 300hp/300tq, you have 260hp/230tq. You have a power sapping automatic, he has an efficient manual trans.

You = 200whp/175wtq
Him = 260whp/275wtq

 

I will be posting a video of a 97' Cobra and me in a few days... Assuming I fix my IMRC..

 

i have an icebox and headers... i know its bone stock because he just bought it 3 days ago and i read the add

 

every 100 lbs is what a 1/10 of a second right so hes running a 14.1 or a 14.2 with a good driver

 

i bet i would get owned by a stock one. and i am definitely not stock.

i almost had a chance to run a Cobra of the mentioned generation the other day. he was a cocky driver too. the traffic didn't allow us to have any room though.
