Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

Re: Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

I disagree with their is no challenge driving a SyTy unless you have low 9 sec hp. Yeah in stock form their isn't much of challenge, but I am sure at the 10 Sec range (like the Sy in the Cobra race), its not just build boost mash the pedla and go either.

It definitely becomes a challenge on the street. Once you get used to the way it twists on launch it becomes somewhat predictable; however, you definitely need to be alert. All the videos I've made from inside the cab on street runs show me compensating up to a full half turn of the wheel on launch. After launch, inconsistencies in the road surface can cause it to get loose. An inexperienced driver could definitely build boost, mash the pedal, and go..... but the question would be where he would go LOL. The only other person who I've trusted to drive mine is Gerber (for good reason).

Matt Matt Matt...I am worried about you now Matt. That isnt the manliest thing you could have said.

I did not give u permission to put my pic on the internet........... :lol:

Wellllllllllll I would have to say the Sy we had was by far the fastest thing we have ever had but my 03 Cobra was my favorite. Easiest and cheapest car to mod ive ever seen (as the pot is stirred just a lil more to bring out the mustang bashing folks).

AND the best looking car IMHO

If i had to pick a Sy that i thought was the best looking, even though i would be a lil bias,

I would have to say this one:

Re: Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

I work with a couple of guys with stangs, one of them is factory supercharged, the other is an older cobra as well probably 96-97? Anyways, yes they do cry about other sports/exotic cars and how they all in some way or another have an unfair advantage over their mustang cobra. They gave me a hard time for the longest when i had my ty down for the new engine, tryin to ell me to do a v-8 swap cuz it was cheaper and better. i never listened and just stuck to the plan, once the new engine was broken in i happened to see one of them at a light right outside of work on the way to lunch. I did a boost launch at 9psi and let off after about 2 seconds because there was no reason to continue. But i was told when i got back from lunch that "If i had a", "If things were more fair", "I spun my tires" etc. etc. etc. waah waah waah!!!. I just listened to his b.s. But by now his buddie had jumped in with more excuses like "did you see all the dust on the pavement" I just stood there and smiled, didnt have the heart to tell them i didnt even floor it!

Re: Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

come on not all stang owners are cocky retards.. just more of them because the ratio of stangs produced to for example sytys is much greater... so the chance of running into a retard in a mustang as opposed to a retard in a syty is more likely

and if I could afford insurance in this lovely communist state of nj on a 03/04 cobra i'd own one.. have a few friends with them and they are bad mothers and very easy to squeeze more power out of

Re: Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

I've got a 1988 Saleen 5.0 that will smoke 85% of the SyTy's on this site. A terminator Cobra can be modded very easily to romp all over SyTy's as well. Doesn't really matter what you own that determines how fast you are.....it comes down to how much moolah you have to invest in your toy and how well you can drive it when completed. No need for anybody to be arrogant about it either but many mistake confidence for cockiness.

That's the truth. These days, it's all about the cubic dollar...

85% isn't really saying much. A Honda Accord could smoke half the SyTy on this website. Its not really a race if the SyTy doesn't run under its own power

Ha...I didn't really take that into consideration. Really, it wouldn't smoke 85% of the SyTy's on here but I thought someone would get riled and refute me. You guys are becoming pretty mellow in your old age!!!

Yeah, but losing to a truck adds insult to injury. It's not just the mustang owners that cry either. :roll:

Driving an auto vs stick is a big deal if the stick driver sucks.

LOL at the pic of "dont mind this view after 60 ft " more like until 100mph ---

Re: Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

So in a world of what ifs...What happens if you pit a stock Syclone straight off the showroom floor against and 03-04 Terminator, also off the showroom floor, assuming that everything has been put together on both rides to provide optimum performance...
Just a what if....

Re: Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

with the same driver (of coarse being a master of both vehicles) in the quarter i would guess the mustang would win, in the 1/8 sy

Re: Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

I think it depends on where this race happened. On the track, the Cobra would mop the floor with the Syclone. On the street, it would be a much more interesting race.

Re: Syclone vs 620HP Mustang Cobra

I have seen plenty of 03 Cobras at our local dragstrip. Stock they always run in the 13s, mid 13s mainly. High 13s w/bad driver, low 13s w/good driver. I don't give two shits what "the magazines" got them to run, these are the actual times I have witnessed with my own eyes from average joes like you or I.

So it would be a very good race for a bone stock Syclone in good mechanical condition (hard to find these days).

I agree. They are factory 12 second cars, all they need is a good driver.
