This site has an 01 cobra thread, look at stock times, tons of 13.5's, 4's and 3's with a few 13.2's. no calculator needed.
You're winning so hard

At 4300ft, track times tell me that motortrend's as tested times for a cobalt ss is faster than 03 cobras and srt8's, 13.8's vs 14's for those cars up here. I can't compare stock times up here to sea level times. Forums and YouTube are the only places ill see stock cars run fast. I've been along for roll races and seen enough dig races up here to know the outcomes though car vs car.
its an auto and the exhaust isn't a true dual sadly
Still a great car, fbodys are unbeatable bang for the buck cars now that they've dropped to $7k give or take in a lot of used listings.
Dude, I thought you had an 01. Its dark blue with ghost flames right? Whats going on with that car now?

You keep dodging my request. Post up proof of a stock 01 Cobra running 13.1 or 13.22 like you have said multiple ones have done.

It's a 99 and it's just sitting. We had our first about 2 years ago and it's going to be his car. So I'm going to wait until he is alittle older so he can help me with it.
Wasn't it turbo'd? I know I give you shit for your great trolling capabilities lol, but that car is/was nice! Your son is going to love it:beer:
Mid to low 13's are what both cars run stock maybe you have watched too many youtube videos. I have seen several stockers at the track and nobody broke into the 12's off the showroom. What you read online and real world results are two different things. Now the Terminator can crush an ls1 for less then 500 bucks hence why I sold my Camaro for one.

It was procharged/nitrous.
I sold the procharger and nitrous kit. Now it's just a longblock - the intake. I'm thinking either N/A build with a carb and maybe nitrous or it's going to be turbo with an auto.
I have never seen a STOCK 01 run any better than 13.4 at sea level. Thats just what I have personally witnessed though. Stock for stock, equal drivers....the SS should beat the Cobra.
Seriously? Dude I get that you like your car but step back and read/use a little reasoning. I'm not bashing srt8's bud, I'm saying that altitude makes na v8's run way slower.
Let me say it very clear bud, up here at 4,300 ft of altitude, bone stock srt8's, camaro ss gen 5's, c6 vettes and 03 cobras run bottom 14's at 102-105.
I can't compare those times or any times that I see with my own eyes in real life to times others are running at sea level otherwise I'd be way way off.
To clarify, up here, cobalt ss's run 14.9's - 15.5's stock depending on the driver. Obviously that's way off what the v8 guys are running.
My point was that if I compared motortrends times to what cars are running up here, the v8 cars are barely keeping up with sea level cobalts so obviously real world track time in real life aren't what I'm going to go off of because we are way to high up here for the times to matter.
I went turbo because of the shitty altitude, haven't looked back since.

So still no proof?
As I said, I've been around enough roll and dig races up here locally to see how these cars run and I'm confident that a well driven bolt on/geared m5 01 cobra can beat an a4 ss. It's the cobras race to lose.
Honestly up here, ss's and z28's don't run as well because they are bigger motors. As altitude climbs, larger motors suffer more than smaller motors due to static losses and the inevitable physics of sparser combustion/friction losses/etc.
If the power difference between 01 cobras and ss's is ~30whp at sea level, it's probably about 24whp up here at 4300ft give or take.

No I mean proof of an 01 Cobra running 13.1-13.2
Jeez, you've got me... Shucks, I haven't dropped everything to find the threads that are buried in the new edge cobra section...
It must be impossibru to run those times.
I already have seen the times, if you need proof so bad, tax your time to the tune of an hour to look through the new edge cobra's threads. Bored.
I'm not going to go fishing for you, do your own search.
No I was talking to the guy I quoted.
