Believe it or not I actually do like the '03/'04 Cobras. My only problem is with some of the owners. I continuosly hear owners (and I don't need to throw any names out) talk a big game about how their car does this and that, they beat so and so from a roll or whatever. Then when it comes time for the track, or even races on the street the excuses start flying... "Theres a problem with the blower-belt slipping"..."look at all that belt dust"..."My methanol wasn't working properly"...Or the notorious "I was only running on 7 cylinders". Hell I wouldn't mind having 7 cylinders!
And its not just the Ford guys Im calling out. A lot of various owners do the same thing and make the same excuses.
But if I had a monster that was making 500+ rwhp my car better damn well be out of the 11's. Otherwise my car would be parked until I could figure out a solution. Just my .02.

All the boosted stangs? You mean the ones with the back seat taken out, wipers removed and headlight removed? The ones with ported blower with pulley, nitrous and/or methanol injection? I'd say it's quite a testament to GM's powertrains that they'd have to go through all that in order to possibly beat a N/A GM.
My car is N/A and I haven't thrown boost or nitrous on it to as you say "keep up". Have I lost to boosted stangs? Sure! Have I beat boosted stangs? You bet I have! I've beat more of them than have beat me.
By the way, 602hp also doesn't need a power adder to destroy the boosted stangs.

I dunno, I'd be pretty frustrated though if I had 2 or maybe 3 power adders and still got my ass handed to me by a car with considerably less power and no power adders.

Blah blah blah
I've seen 602 run 10.80's all motor. When he ran you, you're right he was running the juice, but that was a different combo. He's got so many combos you never know what you're gonna get when you match up with him.
You tell me anybody else running 11.80's with a 17" drag radial, 6-speed with 363 at the wheels with 3740 raceweight and I'll buy you a burger and drink.
Fords don't suck.
When are we going to get together ?
