mid 90's Cobra (claims)

Im just curious what sort of horsepower it would take to run a 4.4-4.7 1/8 of a mile? Could a stock mid 90's cobra do it?

You should edit it to say "Could a stock 90 IROC do it?"....else you gettin locked.


and the answer is NO, btw.


4 second 1/8th is hella fast.

Using a 1/8th mile conversion a 4.4 in the 1/8th becomes a 6.8 in the 1/4. I am sure there are people out there running that fast in drag cars but certainly not DOT cars, which is what this message board is about.

Although true, it must contain 3rd gen vehicles to be legal. The lock fairy will be making a visit.

Maybe you meant 4.4-4.7 0-60 which is at least somewhat a feasible number. A stock Cobra won't touch that either but at least it's in the realm of sanity, lol...

I'd venture to say one of the newer sc cobras might be close to that stock and would prolly beat that with a pulley. As it sits ne my TA has done it in 4.48 0-60 and I'd still rather not run a pulley'd cobra
