There's also a big production variance. I ran a 12.3 with a K&N, a reflash and a catback. @Byron in Ill. All I did was take out the spare. I can't turn up the boost with a reflash, so according to the magazine, I gained a second with these mods?
12s stock aren't an uncommon occurence. It's not like I'm claiming a Cobra is running 1 sec faster than what is in CD, just a few 10ths. Which the hot rod mags will support.

Thanks.
Thanks.
Talking of wrecks, have you seen the video of Strictly Performance's Cobra hitting the wall at HMP? Nasty...

I've missed shifts and ran 13.6s

I have nothing but pride and respect for our cars. They're simply incredible- on and off the track. They're practical, fast, and fun to drive japanese 'budget' exotics. I love our little two liter motors, especially when they've been modded and tuned- however, i dont think you will own an '03 cobra. especially with the mods you have listed. Its going to take quite a bit more than that to run with one of those. You wanna beat one of them- go talk to Martin or Eric at AMS; David, TYM, or Jarrod at Buschur; Dan at Pruven; or anyone at Turbotrix. I'm sure they'll tell you exactly what we're telling you- you need more mods.
Hell, who really cares. The evo is the all-around sports car. It shines in so many places that the cobra only wishes it could prevail. But as someone in this post mentioned earlier; if you want a drag car, spend your money elsewhere.

Agreed. My brother's friend's stock Cobra (03) ran a 12.4. Alot of you are misinformed on the cobra's output. Its not the NA motor anymore. 03 and above are supercharged.
