hmmm...with your mods you should have walked that cobra over 100, at least the late model...dunno about the new one though....the ones before 99 are DOGS up high, they can't even hit 140mph!!! My buddy even took a new 260 hp 5-speed GT with his STOCK 5-speed 2k max on the highway. That cobra was probably a little modded.

C'mon man how can you be going 120 mph in 3rd gear? Doing 8000 rpm? LOL. I didn't want to redline mine, but estimate 100mph in 3rd max. My car is stock, but looking at your mods I doubt this will give you more speed..rather improve dynamics

Hey, noticed you had the throttle body adjusted...
was there a noticeable gain according the butt dyno?
if there is a big gain, I like to do that if it's not too complicated...
thanks.

Chances are the Cobra had gears, they fall on there face if they shift to 5th. As far as top end the Cobra has a rev happy 4 cam motor so highway runs are pretty good for them up to about 120mph.

The Formula would have beat the $hit out of him if the guy knew how to drive. The LS1 will beat brand new Cobras both quater mile and top speed runs.

Funny how a driven Maxima can have an even game with a non driven LS1!

Good Runs!!
