Raced 98 GTP and a 97 Cobra
I have raced 2 people with the SS, first race was against a 98 GTP, mods are ported blower, pulley, headers, and tuned computer, ran from a DIG and when i hit second pulled a car and then 3rd gear pulled a few more cars.. From a 30 roll i just walked away and let off in 3rd gear.
I ran my buddy in his 97 Cobra tonight. just wanting to see how the HHR would stand up to his car. His car is modded and put down little over 300 to the wheels, we did a did, I crewed up the launch and to 100 he had me by 3-4 cars.. we did a 30 roll and he had me by about 2-3 cars, then went from a 40 roll, we were side by side till 3rd and he pulled about 1-2 cars on me.. then to topo it all off, we pulled out onto the highway and i stomped on it in 1st and hit 2nd gear.. i looked back to see if he was there. and i stayed 2 cars in front of him.. but i got the hit and he wasn't coming up on me :) just wait til i get a tune and a few more mods :)

Well, I know this thread is old but cobras are 4v cars. Not just that, but to be putting down 300whp in a 96-98 car, it is going to need long tubes, no cats, pullies, intake, ported short runner intake manifold, MAF, along with some other things and one HELL of a tune.

Still in the 13s with 300rwhp? I ran a 13 flat with bolt ons and no rear suspension at a higher elevation. Good race though, I had never been beaten by a LT1 unless it had extreme engine work. Even beat a couple HCI LT1s.

Wow, must be a factory freak lol. I am glad I got rid of the ford. I should've never bought one. I wanted a 99+ t/a (don't want a first model year) but my parents wouldnt cosign for a 10k loan for one. I convinced them to cosign on the 9k loan on my cobra, wish I would've gotten the 10k 6spd t/a I looked at. Couldn't get an interest rate I was happy with with my own credit alone.

2000+ models are better. They say that the LS-1 cars would blow away the LT-1 cars. But, i beg to deffer. I have beaten alot of LS-1 cars with the out LT-1. BTW it has 138,000 miles on it :) it is a 6-speed as well.
