as far as the drivetrain changes, those are just suggestions to free up more power and to reduce drivetrain loss, nothing to do with how strong the stock parts are.

I'm almost positive that the tranny in the stock cobra should be able to withstand that abuse.

3500lbs + 15hp from pullies (restricted intake/exhaust) + probably 40-50hp from intake/exhaust + slicks = 11.5-12sec
the 1/4 calc that i used said 12.16 given 3500lb and 450bhp
i'm pretty sure that with a heavy clutch, light flywheel, lighter driveshaft, knife-edged crank and lighter wheels (in addition to the above list) could bring it into 10s with skills... assuming it doesn't run out of fuel

Thats pretty amazing...

Engine type V-8

Engine horsepower 390-hp @ 6,000 rpm
Engine torque 390 lbs.-ft. @ 3,500 rpm
Valvetrain DOHC

Evo:

EPA Fuel Economy:
City: 18 Highway: 26

... Cobra = alot more power, even w/ a boost controller, and whatever else you want to bolt on to the evo

I think those would be easier to get a little more power out of for cheaper than a cobra...boost controller, fuel controller, more fuel...? I dont disagree tho cobras do have pretty good bang for their buck same with vettes altho i am not a domestic guy especially for fords

Oh well, boost is sure a lot of fun though 🙂

If you want a new car and a warranty, the Z06 has pretty good bang for the buck. If you want a new car and want to mod it (and risk the warranty), I would say the Cobra is the way to go. Just a couple of thoughts...

Of course, on the street and in a race, the warranty, how much you paid for it and any excuses go out the window.

For tuning cars go to SLS, for everything else, there's mastercard.

I hope Mastercard OKayed this, we all know you couldn't possibly use another search warrant on your ass since your already famous around here with the local coppers. anyways, well said.
