03-04 cobra or built 92 typhoon

Re: 03-04 cobra or built 92 typhoon

After 3 pages of posts, the only solid reason I've seen to vote for the cobra is from Roy. Which one will get you more tail? If you are married you should just go with the Ty, you'll just get yourself in trouble otherwise.

By the way, is she old enough to be wearing that outfit?

pulling a 1.7 60 ft time...from a traffic light...with a cup of coffee in one hand...and not even a squeak from the tires.

once you experience it...you'll never look back.

I agree but driving to and from the track on DR's getting that 1.7 footer all day long without worries of breakage and hardly ever seeing jack stands seems enticing to me

What you lose off the line to a Ty, you can quickly make up down the stretch.

Heard that one before :lol:

:lol: I have heard that one before as well. Before a run at the track with a Single Turbo MKIV Supra on street tires, he was commlimentary to my Syclone, but just before ran the owner said to me 'you get me off the line, but I will pass you shortly after the 60' mark.' It took him more than 3/4 of the track to run me down despite his 122 mph trap speed. I was barely trapping over 100 mph at the time :rotf:

You must be thinking of some other vehicle than the 03-04 Cobra. They are NOTORIOUS for breaking their absurdly weak stock IRS rear end. So much so, that a few yrs ago during our track's "Real Street Drags", the announcer actually "called his shot" as an 03 Cobra came up to the line. He said "Watch this, 03 Cobra on drag radials, here comes a broken rear end."

He was right!!! :rotf:

While the IRS is not the most durable rear end, it can be beefed up to take some level of abuse. But any cobra that sees regular track duty has probably already swapped in a live axle from a GT, which are plentiful.

Re: 03-04 cobra or built 92 typhoon

For what it's worth, my friend has a low mile '03 Cobra, exhaust, pulley, tuned to 500whp. After several street races from a roll or dig with other Cobras/Vettes (including my near stock Sy from a dig), he now wants to sell it for a built Ty.

I am trying to talk him into a Ty with a turboed LQ4/4L80e swap. :tup:

I was talking aboot his attempt to race me in the SRT-10. I think he let off at 120+ when I was still pulling away from 10 bus lengths. :tup:

All he needs is a Vortec head V6 with a big turbo and tuning. They run 10's and lower.
