i have yet to heard of an 03 cobra on here losing, can anyone with an 03/04 cobra account for a loss from a roll? or are they just that fast and bad ass. My stage 3 has lost to like 3 cars and a few motorcycles. Or maybe its like those fishing shows where they only speak of the good things that happen.
03/04 cobra losses?

I mentioned my death by a yellow Mazda RX7 here. We were at a 40 mph roll and we both down shifted. He took off like a rocket about a full car lenght ahead, I couldn't reel him in and when he shut down I did, I didn't want to do a fly-by and I let him know his car was shit hot, that was 120hp ago! It doesn't happen often but if you get taken to school I don't sweat it, just mod it.
I lost to my 99 Camaro SS that I sold to my brother. We raced this past Sunday at the dragstrip. It was my first time racing the Cobra and his first time ever drag racing. I managed a 12.9 that run to his 12.1. I ran a 12.7 on my first run but I was racing a basically stock A4 WS6. I have one win against a LS1 with just a few mods and one loss against a LS1 with mods and a cam. I'm going to race a modded SRT4 this coming Sunday. Hopefully I can get it on video. My car is bone stock except I have a JLT RAI. When I beat the first LS1 I was stock down to the filter.
I've lost to a Cammed Camaro SS from a dig (damn wheel hop). But when we went from a roll I beat him about 3-4 car lengths. Also an RX-7 from a roll and we were neck and neck this was before the ported blower and 2lb lower. Everything else I've left in the dust.
oh and to whoever responds dont think im hating on 03 04 cobras they are bad ass, i love them i think they sound great and look even better but it just seems people dont lose on here but i do have a lot of respect for them

Modded SRT-4 as in how modded? From a dig you got him regardless (RWD>FWD for launching, plus turbo lag) from a roll he will need ATLEAST the following to try and KEEP up.
Mod list #1
3 inch turbo back exhaust
atleast stage 1
AGP WGA
Boost controller spiking at 18psi and dropping to 16psi at redline (limited to 18psi on Stage 1 injectors)
PSI-FI Tune
Intake
With these mods he should trap around 113mph. Stock you got 114mph, so either way you will beat him.
Mod list #2
3 inch turbo back
stage 2
Boost controller spiking to 20psi and holding 18psi at redline
intake
PSI-Fi tune
With these mods he should trap around 114-115 from what I have seen. Still think you will beat him.
mod list #3
A butt load of NOS.
Basically to beat a stock cobra he is going to need NOS or mopar stage 3, or PSI-FI upgraded turbo, or AGP upraded turbo or you miss a gear or two and he doesn't. Have fun :-D

I lost from a roll to a 10 second Cummins deisel with paste on headlights on I-5 one afternoon. That was one SICK assed truck! Full cage, sponser graphics, etc.

I've lost to two different cars. Both from a dig.
This first was a 01GT with all the boltons, and a 150shot of the juice. He takes me out of the hole, and I run him down, but not in time. He won 2 of 3 from the dig.
The second car I've lost to, is my buddy Don. He has a 89 5.0 with a 347, heads/cams/intake, ArtCarr AOD and converter, on slicks (launches with a transbrake). I was on bald DR's (no traction) chipped and pullied.
He'd flat out rape me out of the hole, pulling 3-5 cars on me immediately.
From a roll, him without the nitrous, I walked him. He'd hurt me bad, on the bottle even from a roll.
:beer:
ive lost to a modded z06. i was ahead a car or two until about 140, then he came around me
SRT-4 Turbo 7 said:
not to be a jackass....but NO way a stage 1 SRT-4 will come close to a stock 03/04 Cobra....stage 1s trap around 103-106 and maybe a 13.5 in the 1/4 mile. no luck of even hangin close with a cobra if the cobra can drive.
Stage 2+...yea id say you be pretty close with a stock cobra in the 1/4 with the average cobra driver. youd probably need a stage 2 plus some other minor goodies.
Stage 3 would probably be equal in the 1/4 with the SRT-4 running between a 12.6 and a 13.0.
These are all 1/4 mile races tho...from a roll-on at 40mph....the SRT-4 would need at LEAST a stage 3 to hang from 40-130 with a stock cobra. a stage 1 or 2 would be killed within the first 4 seconds.

Please re-read my post and my mod list. I didn't just say "stage 1". And FYI when the SRT's start to become more heavily modified they go back to the stage 1 pcm because it doesn't pull as much timing. Also my mod list #1 includes a custom PSI-FI tune, full 3 inch turbo back, different WGA, a boost controller and intake. I didn't just say stage 1. Please read more carefully. Also if you go to www.PSI-FImotorsports.com and look at their car (3inch downpipe to 2.5inch cat back, intake, AGP WGA, BC, and their tune is running 12.2's @113mph pump gas). Your thinking 103mph b/c that is what an SRT does with just stage 1. My Mod list #1 had a lot more to it then just stage 1. Also with the mopar stage 3 and the mopar cat back I have seen 2 SRT's trap 122mph. 122mph traps are definitely beating stock cobra's. Next, my mod list #2 includes a lot more then just stage 2. Read it again, full 3 inch turbo back, PSI-Fi custome tune, BC. A stage 3 SRT runs 11's with traction Do a search about them on google.
But you are right just a stage 1 SRT with nothing else traps around 103-105mph. Just a stage 2 SRT traps around 108-110mph. Just a stage 3 and mopar cta back traps around 122mph.
In ever mod list I added 3 inch tubo back exhaust, intake, AGP WGA, Boost controller and the most important part the PSI-FI custome tune. It's basically a piggy back computer. So what you wrre saying is technically right, besides the mopar stage 3 SRT which would definitely beat a stock Cobra. But my mod lists include a lot more then just the mopar PCM upgrades.
I've lost a few times, one was to (allgo) board member with a cobra and a zo6, the zo6 beat me. And I won against some of the same cars as I've lost to. Fairly even cars and driving, conditions, good/bad luck etc. makes for different results. No different than drag racing, been racing stick stangs about forever. :beer:

I agree with you. When I do get a race and beat someone they always do a fly by as if they won. I had one guy get out of his car at a light after losing. He wanted a piece of me really bad. His words to me were "lets get physical." I started laughing. I think that made him even more mad. :burnout:
