Jeep SRT-8 vs. 2003 Mustang Cobra

[Mike P]

Okay, so these are 2 fast & badass vehicles!

Jeep gets passed after at 115MPH

03 Cobra, ported blower @ 15psi, Full Exhaust, Tuned, 60 Shot NOS

VS

06 Jeep SRT8 ASM Vortech supercharger, Heads, Cam, Headers, Exhaust, no tune

* Note: How in heck do you do all that modding to the Jeep & not tune it? I think that is not correct.

that srt is tuned... ive seen both cars in person... and that jeep is not fast at all, i beat him with my H/C/full bolt on TBSS, from a roll...

Good lord that SRT had a beautiful launch. Wonder what tires he has?

Subtract the NOS and race again. I vote SRT FTW.

hes got vredsteins on w/e the stock srt wheels are...

Yeah, the only thing I could think when the GC launched was "Holy Mother of Pearl!":hang:

[fiveoh]

Ya sick launch too bad his topend sucked. Seemed lacking for a h/c and supercharged.

I still vote Cobra win. Do you see how bad he beat him up on the top end?

Typical AWD launch and fallout on the big end. From what I've seen, none of the Mopar/Hemi H/C packages are real radical, that goes for any of the cammed or H/C Charger R/T or SRT-8s, and Cherokee SRT-8s I've seen. Nothing near on par with the capabilities that LS motors have when you thrown on H/C setups.

With the Cobra running 15lbs on a ported blower, it's going to win a LOT of races, even w/o the jug. I knew the SRT-8 was going to get reeled in. Fast rides though.

On 1/8 mile track yes, 1/4 mile I don't think so.

looked pretty fast to me, the Cobra didn't pass him until 4th gear!

from a roll- you are right, he was passed with ease within a gear or so.

I find it strange that most people knock roll racing saying it is dumb, until you come across an awd powerful vehicle and suddenly those are the races that matter ... ??


I've seen stock SRT8 Jeeps run well into the 13s. So how can this guy be "not fast at all"

b/c with all his mods, he could only muster a 12.4@108 in the 1/4... my TBSS was damn near a full second faster on the same track with a lot fewer mods, and was a lot stronger from a roll (which was likely b/c of the cam i chose)...

What kind of cam did you have / specs. that made it really good from a roll?

Those SRT8 JGC's will run bottom 13's in stock form in normal DA. For that truck to only muster a 12.4 ET with the mods that it claims to have just doesn't add up. That JGC should be well into the 11's. Some part of the story is missing there.

my thoughts exactly...

[jrc1122]

all I know, is... he beat that Modified Cobra thru the 1/4 mile in that race.

Cobra didn't pass until he was in 4th and he had been in 4th for alittle bit, I am guessing he was going b/w 115- 120 mph.

So if he can only run a 12.4-- then that Cobra runs higher ETs.

I call BULLSHIT! lets see your 11.4 timeslip..........

All I want to know is... what kind of car came from behind the mustang and past it right at the end of the video..

A ported blower'd Cobra running 15lbs with a decent driver will run high 11s. The driver in the vid was pretty good, so either the JGC is faster than 12.4 or there's something wrong with the Cobra. I'll bet it would win at an actual strip though.

There are more than a few non-ported Cobra's running around hitting 11.5 ET's with less mods (2.76 upper, catback w/ x pipe, CAI, tune). A properly driven Steggy 4+ ported Terminator assuming other normal bolt on mods such as pulley, CAI, exhaust, shifter, tune, stickies will see bottom 11's with a good driver in decent DA. Shitty drivers will attain much worse ET's of course.

['02 ws6]

Agreed Robert, that's why I noted even with a decent driver. From personal experience, its not hard at all to pull an 03-04 into the 11s.

i said damn near homey... fastest i got was an 11.65@117... and sorry but i dont have the slip, it was almost two years ago now, and the slips went with the TBSS when i totaled it... the good news is, whoever bought/buys that wreck is gonna get one hell of a motor...

[IcePickFreak]

I replayed it a few times trying to figure this out too. From the lights, my guess is a 4th gen Camaro.

11.65 with just heads, cam and converter?? Im from TBSS and man that time would have put you in the top 10 TBSS's... you really should have posted your time over there.

[Atlas]

full bolt on's too...
