All HP figures based off of 110+ octane figures given on HPF website....

Stage 1 - $15,995 - 731 hp
Stage 2 - $18,495 - 731hp
Stage 2.5 - $25,495 - 747hp
Stage 3 - $31,995 - 930hp


I shit you not. A turbo kit that is worth more than the car it is put on. All for ALMOST 1,000 hp on race gas. SMOKIN' DEAL........ not.

Car in video claims to be a Stage 1.... I would hope to God that my 2 year old M3 with a $16,000 turbo kit could beat a 5 year old Mustang with a $3000 supercharger upgrade.....

I think he lost fair and square, turbo has more torque and power up top. On freeway, the Cobra was no match...

16 K to make 731 HP? I hope that includes a complete engine rebuild, TT and installation? Still not that impressive for 16K

my buddy has a stage 2 HPF m3 with 630 whp.

I pull him in my 610whp C5 Z06. but not by a whole lot. Car definitely deserves some respect for a stock internal 6cyl.

Woulda coulda shoulda, that import outpowered the Cobra, wich looked fast as shit when he got on it the first time, props to the 6 cyl. However he did it, it works well, and all this from a fellow Cobra owner, give credit where credit's due. If the Cobra owners want to start complaining about money invested, go to the dragstrip and look at all the pos old 5.0's with 12K$ engines in a 2K$ chassis that would smoke your ass, and wonder what they say when a 30K$ Cobra with 8K$ worth of mods gets embarrassed.

agreed. that'll always be the argument.

hell, i ran the 700whp Heffners Built TT Gallardo in that video i posted. Dropped 60grand on a build + 200k for the car. and pump to pump he only pulled 1.5 cars on me from 50 to 140. I have a 28k car with 15k in mods. And yes, its an ego boost for me, but you can't use it as comparing. Woulda coulda shoulda is right.
