cobra comes stock with 390 hp, but they are underrated from the factory....and the one in the vid had mods.....my friend has an 03 cobra with only intake, exhaust, and chip and he ran high 12s...
looked like the Supra was having a little trouble shifting, he was gaining in mid gears but he lost it at the beginning everytime and also when he shifted....
Lots of Cobras around here run in the low to mid 12s with a few mods. I've seen a couple of Supras run, but no better than high 12s (usually low 13s).
Slushboxes are never faster than a properly shifted manual. ATs are easier to bracket race than manuals because they are more predictable. But they are not faster.
I think they were pretty well matched considering the Supra was a p.o.s. Supras are much stronger cars than that one. It must be on it's last leg, cause a twin turbo should have easily beaten the mustang.
