I have confidence that VeeTec will run a 12 in a stock 07

Also noway it was a 03/04 cobra... the 07's are turning about what a 01 cobra would run.

The 94-98 are different body styles than the 99-04 body style kid.
It could be a 03. I don't believe that was the Supercharged model. So those would be the pretty slow ones.

Look above at the 1/4 times, the 03s aren't really that fast.

Veetec bogged and did that time. I can almost promise you that he will hit 12s with nothing done.

03/04 was the supercharged cobras rated at 390hp.. 99-01 was the other cobra models.. there wasn't one in 02. I have alot of mustang friends. the sn95(94-98) was a mid/low 14 sec car.... the new edge(99-01) was a mid 13 sec car, the new edge(03/04) was a 12 sec car.

When he or someone else breaks into 12's stock then we will discuss. Your assumptions don't do anything for this debate.

Assumptions? Omg. You and your negativity towards the Z is getting out of control here.

No assumption, if you knew anything about drag 1/4 times, you would know the 107 trap is a 12 sec car.

Negativity? LOL, get real. I was the first to congratulate VeeTec in that thread. I think the Z is a great car.

However, I don't play what if games. Right now, as far as im concerned, the '07 's best is a 13.2. When he or someone else breaks into 12's, then we will discuss.

You assume a slipping clutch = 12's. It may just be that or may be a 13.0-.1.

Why don't we wait for results first. You are the fanboi here, not me.

Wow, you picked up 26mph on the last 8th... Very impressive. Never seen a stock Z pick up anywhere near that amount of speed.
Oh really? Doesn't look like I'm questioning anything there. You need to look in the mirror bud. You have this very immature rationalization you like to use. You get so bent out of shape when anyone disagrees with you.

You, friend, need to grow up.

BTW, the article was comparing an 01 Cobra vs 03 Z and it was completely subjective. There were no numbers on the post at all. So don't get all wound up about it.

I didn't really feel like reading the whole thread, but my 97 Cobra is faster than my 04 Track Z.

I forgot to add the fact that i do have racing slicks on... but still i ran 12.9 in a stock Z... i think thats quite an accomplishment. You people with 06 and older models keep in mind the new Z's are a lot faster. i dont have the time slip but i promise you i will post a picture as soon as i get back to the strip.

Still BS. Post time slip/video. Break down your run.

Running with slicks is not stock anyways, so you fail.

So you didn't run a 12.9 in a stock '07. Besides major engine mods (i.e. FI, motor swap, etc.) the mod with the biggest improvement to 1/4 mile performance is tires.

I still don't believe you though. Show a slip or at least give the specifics of the run (60', 330', 1/8th, etc.).

Then explain to me which track up in Idaho has a DA low enough to beat out the guys running great times at well-prepped sea level tracks.

I raced a pullied 04 Cobra about a year ago. I raced him to about 75 mph. Once I hit 75 he was about 15 car lengths ahead of me. That car was furocious ...
