03 Cobra vs. 00 LS1 Formula vs. MKIV Supra

This isn't a bad street racing video so I thought I'd share it. Also, I'm not going to spoil anything for anybody but I'm curious about what you guys think. 1st place is well known but my friends are still debating about who came in 2nd. We don't know because it looks very close.

Looks to me like the LS1 was bringing up the rear, in this case. Cool race, but really short, I think the Firebird could've caught up to the leader had it been a full 1/4 mile.

It looks like the TransAm was in 2nd as he passed the camera guy. But the other car, got past him just afterwards.


I'd give it to the TransAm.

Nice find.

I'd say the Supra took second just barely.

Although that's a cool race, that is a bad camera angle. It looked like the Cobra was actually gaining on the Supra, and the Firebird fell short. I'm surprised the Supra wasn't pulling like a freight train away from them with that overgrown hairdryer.

I had my money on the firebird, oh well.

i'm surprised a 03 cobra witht hat little mods out guned a T88 supra.

Not that im a ford vs. chevy guy, or American Vs. Import....but i Love watching a cobra/mustang win a race. Even though if I had the money I would take a TA/Supra anyday...

trans am over a Supra? Not unless, well, not at all. Just no.

No you dont understand...
I am aiming to buy a Mustang GT....but I would take a Transam or Supra anyday over it. I didnt mean a Transam over a supra.

Haha he just started to spool at the end of the race thats why, I'd say if this had been from a roll we'd all know the outcome of this.

those fuel slut vids are never bad. gooooo cobra!

Good Movie :biggrin:

As Amish mentioned that Supra was pulling like a freighttrain at the end. If you slow the vid the Cobra had 1 car on the TA, and the TA had a fender on the Supra at the camera's location. The Cobra hit the breaks right before the Supra pulled past him.

Cause races only count if the start from a roll right and end at 120+mph? LoL

ah most beautiful cars, thanks for the vid post.

always cool to see a stang win ;)

No just saying that not every car is good from a dig, especially a singled Supra, every car is good at something Supras are good at roll races Mustangs since they still got a live axle in the rear are good from a dig, compared to Ind. rear of the Supra.

another 20 metres and the supra would have owned...

LoL, I was just kidding with you to begin with. That Supra was starting to pull like a freight train and inevitably I think would of caught up to the Stang. But I still find that useless in my opinion.

Also just so you know Cobra Mustangs since 99 have IRS not a live axle. If the 03-04 Cobra had a solid 8.8 it would be even faster in the 1/4 mile. :evillol:

about the cobra having irs, yes that is true. Since 99 all cobras come standard with IRS. Did that stang have the stock Eaton or KB twin screw?

Since 99 all cobras come standard with IRS.

Are you sure about that? I believe the IRS was new for '03 on the Cobra.

I think i've seen that same GT trash an e55 amg in another vid...nice cobra.

i get wheel hop like a %$@%# on my 99! it sucks.

does that say 12.1 on his window?

Positive in 99 the Cobra had IRS, 01 had IRS, In 2003 they used the same IRS but beefed it up to handle the power of the 03 S/C motor and plant better after all the trouble 99/01 Cobra owners had breaking their IRS half-shafts in launching.


as far as I know the Cobra in that video had a stock eaton with a pulley swap.

I understand why cars with IRS handle better but why are live rear axles better for drag racing? I assume the bennifits are in the form of traction.

Traction, but more importantly is the strength of solid axles over half-shafts.

its the cobra not the gt, and no the e55 mangled the cobra like 4 dif times...quite sad really. i hate seeing the 03+ cobra lose.

e55's are mean...one but i think there's a video of an '03 cobra with a KB and 17psi 530+HP and 510ft/lbs of torque kickin' an e55's ass pretty hard. i just have to find it now, heh easier said than done. kinda old vid.
