thats probably the best answer. With similar money put into both the cobra would win. But stock to stock it would be a good race.

I went 12.80's in my stock 2012 not sure if the cobra went sub 13's stock or not. I have a 93 tune and cai and now go 12.teens-12.20's. I think a pullied cobra will turn 11's on drag radials. These cars seem pretty darn close that's why I wanted to see what opinions or experiences were out there. I love the Cobras too so no hate here.

I would take the cobra but like stated the race is close. If the cobra had a straight axle forget it the '13 would be done. the irs gives up some on the launch. take a look at some of the times on a rear swapped '03/'04 cobra, they are mean let alone modded.

I think the 5.0 stock for stock has the Cobra beat in everything. It's the total package that sold me on the 11+ Mustangs.
When I was looking for another stang around this time last year, it came down to an 11+ 5.0 and buying my uncle's KB powered 600hp Cobra... It was a hard decision until the wifey said just go get a Boss!!!! I know it's not going to hang with his terminator, but again the total package is what sold me on the new mustangs.

New 5.0 should take a stock terminator in a drag race by just a little. Modded terminator will hold 600-700hp on a stock bottom end. New 5.0 will not. Boss motor will hold that power also.

yep, there is a comp orange one by me I want so bad. I don't really now the guy and it is in the garage 90% of the time. He bought it new, it is totally stock and I have only seen it out a few time that is all I really know about it. I have invited him to a few events and to some mccne meetings but he keeps to himself, to each his own but bad azz car. we have a few nasty ones in our club though.
