2010 cobra jet/pushing the limits

[F8L SN8K]

For those of you living in a cave the 2010 Cobra Jet is going to be a straight up killer. With a host of options that include items like light weight brakes, 8.50 certified cage, and a many others. The big news is the 475hp option. Which nets you an alluminum block a MUCH larger Mass air meter and a Whipple. Ford Racing sent me some e-mails about the car and found some video of the car in testing.

As the drag racers in here know that the CJs are really kicking butt in the Stock and Super stock classes in the NHRA. So much that it is common place for them to be torn down almost every race to be checked for legality(always passing BTW) The cars are consistantly running in the 9.70 range(not bad for a TVS) Hopefully this will not be the straw that broke the camels back in the NHRA. I was extremely happy when Brian Wolfe was named new lead of FRPP. It gave us drag racers something to hope for and would mean that they would get serouse about racing again in all forms. Espeacially the grass roots guys.

The dodge and GM boys are extremely upset in these classes about the excisting CJ already(can't wait to see the protest on the 2010s).

It's good to be the King. Like all the Ford advertisements say

DRIVE ONE.

Here are some pics and videos..

Wow, Brian has come a long way, since he was an amateur Mustang drag racer back in the early, early '90s. That is very cool about him taking the lead of FRPP. Way to go, Brian, and kudos to Ford.

Amazing times for the CJ. Thanks for posting!

Brian grew up with the sport and still owns his fox that broke some the barriers and tested many Ford Racing stuff.

Now FRPP get me my 3v intake for my race car dang it!!! I've already turned in the forms to have it approved. lol BTW thanks for not making this one out of magneisium and making it affordable. Hoping to make it to the conference during the PRI show in Florida in DEC.

Ok, this might be a stupid question because I'm sure that the cobra jet is a lighter car then the GT500........but how the fawk can this car run in the 9's at an advertised 475hp?

how can a GT500 5.4l with a whipple only make 475HP?


exactly.

Last I heard the car ran a 9.1x with the big whip.

less weight + better gearing + better driver = 9's

Come on guys, that is what Ford rates it at. DO YOU really think that's what it is making? Ford finally took a page from GM and underrated power. It's about time!!!

I heard the one with the TVS went 9.20's with good air, tune up and a lower pulley.

Are you talking about that new 3v intake? From the pictures I've seen that thing looks sick! Share some info on that beast!

 

[ferrarokid]

All the 2010's are sold ! !

how sick is it you can buy a 9 second car from the factory ! ! !

:bowdown:

 

[chuckstang]

lol

In reality if you were to dyno it, I would say it would be over 600rwhp EASILY

At minimum 700rwhp. It's got a Whipple 3.4L crusher kit on it.

 

[F8L SN8K]

Yeah the standard TVS Cobra Jets dyno in the 620rwhp range in E-stock(stock intake, pulleys intercooler) Id expect the optioned whipple to be a solid 750rwhp. In super stock form(pulleys and custom lower intake) are making way more.
