Guest hotrodmama024 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Had a question for any mustang people, how much do these cars come stock, and what kind of intake could you put on these? ex husband came with a new car, and he wont tell me what he put in it (sandbagger) so i am trying to figure out the options he had. Anyone help me? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martindc1 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 They were rated at 305 fhp and 300 ft.lbs. There are about a million intake options as far as "Cold Air Intakes", but as far as the actual intake manifold you can basically only shorten the runners. Certain short-runner intakes do well, but basically aren't going to help unless he has at least 4.10 gears and full exhaust. The jist: a 96-98 Cobra won't beat an LS1 Z28 without gears, that is assuming equal drivers. A stock geared 96-98 Cobra is looking at 13.90+ in the quarter mile on street tires.

Got-Boost? Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 A stock geared 96-98 Cobra is looking at 13.90+ in the quarter mile on street tires. Not true! I had a bonestock 97 Cobra that went 13.60's all day. With gears, meter, DR's, exhaust it went 12.90's.... The 98's are a little stronger also and have been know to go 12's with just gears. IMO....the 98 is the best year of that motor/bodystyle configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotrodmama024 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 no my ex husband that has been putting money into a mustang and ignoring his daughter for the last 10 months.

I think he has a cold air in it, and exhaust. :bs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 What do you have done? Auto/Man? Have you been to the track? It's all in the launch. Unless one of you misses a gear, it will be up to the driver if both cars are in 100% working condition and all other factors are considered....

That is pretty damn good, on average though I think that 13.90 is about right. That is why I try to avoid generalizions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 13.90's are the fastest I have ever heard an 98 cobra go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 No offense but you guys need to get out more. The 98's were def faster than the 96-97's. Maybe not on paper but they dyno'd higher and ran quicker with equal drivers. I have seen several bonestock 98's go 13.3-13.5 with less than 500-miles and a P-plate. With 4.10's ONLY I have even seen a couple break consistent 12.8-12.9 with ZERO other mods. This is at Houston Raceway Park in about 85 degree heat.

Unleashed Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 FWIW, my dad's '98 Cobra stock except pullies and T/A went consistent 13.5x's @ 105.x mph with crappy 2.1x 60 ft's last year at Tri-State. This was his first time to the track in that car, 90+ temps and the car had over 70,000 miles on it. Based on that, sub 13.9's should be a cake walk stock.
