My 04 Vs Cobra

Might be posting in the wrong forum but got a question. I have an 04 GTO a4 stock with flowmaster catback. How would I do against my son's 04 cobra vert. He has catback, x-pipe, and cold air kit.
Any thoughts?

Honestly, if your son can drive, he *should* pull cornfields on you. With the listed mods, he's sitting around 420+whp with gobs of power under the curve and weighs just a little more than you. With your listed "mod", you're still sitting at around 290-300whp.

you should take him easily...put alot of money on it

You sure about that? Not to question you or anything. It just doesn't seem realistic even for a car like that to gain so much with those mods. The car comes with what 410 crank stock? So those minute mods pull a car from what 360whp to 420? Somehow im doubting that statement even for the mighty cobra.

But to the op. a stock cobra is a drivers race from what ive seen with an LS2 Goat. So im thinking with the mods listed your son should get the W.

There, fixed for ya.., would be easier that way....

I think they were 390 at the crank stock, but notoriously underrated; they were putting just about all of that down on dynos.

he will crack your ass like it has never been cracked.

yeah they was underrated. With a few mods the cobras are easily over 400whp... You will get slaughtered... sorry to say, because my 04 gto is stock too... so i know how you feel.

I dynoed an 04 cobra at 380 rwhp stock the other day. He has almost 100 rwhp more than an LS1 goat. If he can drive it shouldn't be close.

throw a cam and small shot on there and then make sure and wave as you drive by.

race him and find out, you will never hear the end of it though

The one mustang i would own would be an 03 Cobra

I bet it sounds MEAN

All this talk about cornfields and bus lenths if funny. You never know until you race. However most know the outcome will be brutal until more mods are added to the GOAT.

I always wondered why these thread's are made,Esp when its your son..JUST RACE EM! lol

My 03 that I had had an X-pipe, magnaflows and a JLT CAI and was putting 423RWHP. They respond very well to slight mods and was 389 stock...

Not a drivers race...the OP probably wont stand to well. Plus 03s come with 3.55s so they pull pretty well with that blower.

if you had a 423rwhp 03 cobra why did you sell it for a ls1 gto?

I didnt... I got a Trans Am and built a stroker after it lol because PhantomPooper got me into LS motors and I didnt like the fact it was a vert.

Mustangs no matter what type are a dime a dozen.

Not only that, GTOs are nicer cars in general. Only reason I'd take a cobra over a GTO is for the blower whine, but that's easily solvable for a little over 6 grand.

I'm 100% positive. It's a factory forced induction car that was SEVERELY underrated. They usually dyno 370-380+whp and simple mods done to ANY factory FI car will add huge power.

Correct

Again, "420+whp" and this guy does 423 with those same mods. And yes, the 3.55's help the Cobra out for sure!

So OP, race him and let us know how many greyhound buses he pulls

My LS2 M6 with headers/cai was dead even with my room mates 03 cobra with cai/and borla catback. 03/04 cobra's respond very well to slight mods and are the only mustang I would ever own.

At 5.45s into the vid is my H/C setup vs my friends ported blower on 14.5 lbs.

the procharger kit in the F/S section will make it a great race.

Unless while he was doing all that engine work, his son had a pulley swap and a tune done on his way home from work. Then the outcome is still going to be "LATER DAD!"

If the goat got a 224 cam and a 100shot it would still be a great race vs the pullied cobra. I am sure that would be enough to get the cobra.

^^^A 100 shot is considered a small shot on a stock LS1

Is this a statement or a question?
