My buddy had a 98 Cobra that he had built..........yada, yada, yada, he had M/T ET Drag's with a bigger tire size than stock so it made the speed odometer show like 30-45 mph faster that what it was actually running. Im saying I think that the vid is bull sh_t. I hang around alot of performace american cars on the weekend and none of them get to 160 that quick except for street bikes and a few Rx-7's. My 2 cents.

I honstly didn't know that. . I guess I'm comparing them to Camaro Z28s and SS's, which I shouldn't do. I guess a Cobra with a S/C didn't seem right. Is that new in '03? They didn't always have them did they?

Rep Power: 0 Pretty damn fast. Upgrade to Easton Superchager, pulley, catback,chip and a 100 shot and it runs 9's on street tires, that's what a guy does over here.
