Traded in a FI car with tons of potential for a great looking but way to heavy N/A car in Colorado altitude....Not the sharpest Chief is he?
Cause everyone buys 50k dollar cars strictly based on how fast they are. :rollseyes

no way this could be true.....go to challengertalk and they will tell you no mustang can beat a 392. bow to your new king.
If your powers numbers are for the Denver area, you probably have 100rwhp in addition to the ~700# weight advantage on him. I would have expected you to win by more than what you did.
Good kill either way
Tough crowd for basically calling the Challenger owner a moron for buying the car he wanted.
So much for the 12:40 bone stock talk in the Challenger forum. Nice Kill for you Cobra

Not everyone wants a modded car especially the older crowd.. As O.P said, he owned an older Challenger, so maybe it was a car he's been wanting . There was an older fella by my house that owned a Shelby, had it bone stock and trade it for a Camaro SS. That car has been completely stock also.Challenger is a beautiful car, but Im assuming he is really only going for looks? If he was a SMART consumer and looking for performance he never would have let the Shelby go.
I would say the edge goes to the 392 especially up top. The Challenger 392 seems to keep pulling hard all the way and doesn't run out of breath compared to the Cobra or 5.0 GT when going over 60+ (which don't either but compared to the 392, they fall behind)1 in a million, there are guys claiming 12.2-12.3s in stock GTs too. The Challenger is a 4300lb car, it's probably a driver's race for a stock 03/04 Cobra.

Regardless, the 392 seems to fall more as a classic looking car type, I wouldn't mind owing one for a weekend cruiser and keep it next to bone stock. For anything else, there's my lil snake :rockon:

Sorry? But Cobras and new 5.0s do not run out of steam up top. :uh oh:
I don't know who told you that Cobras or 5.0s run out of steam after 60mph. :lol::lol::lol: Maybe in 6th gear against a Corvette, otherwise it doesn't run out of steam whatsoever.
A stock Cobra and GT can both trap over 112-113mph.

Now, I'm not exactly basing EVERYTHING on this, but its pretty much a scale on what the outcome can be. Maybe it might be closer than what it seems like depending on weather and track, etc, but its still a pretty decent difference which I doubt it can be make up.
Your former chief failed when he bought an automatic.
Nice kill, those things looks sweet in person.
