Default VS 03 Cobra?

I have an 04 with intake, fmic, supposedly utec (haven't found it yet haha), running 23 psi. I don't think it's been pro tuned because I'm only running 13.1's in the quarter? How would I stand against a stock 03 cobra? A friend of mine knows a guy with a daddy bought cobra so I want to know if I can smack him down?

Yeah if the car is stock you should be OK, but which 03-04's are stock lol. All it takes is a pulley and a tune and theyre FAST cars!

You better find out what mods he has. 600whp is not uncommon on those with some "mild" mods. They are nuts.

on a race track, if he s stock you should fine until the 1/8, he ll catch up, then around the last 300ft he should blow by at close to 10mph faster.(according to my old car) see sig.
with just a good CAI (kenny bell) and 3" dual catback i gained 45 rwhp(dyno proven). there is good chance he has all this and more. so... prey he misses a shift or two

Well, he's supposed to be stock. I hate kids who brag about their cars that daddy bought. I mean my parents have given me a good start but I have done everything since then. I love getting daddy bought comments about my sti then showing them my coupon book So what about 50-120? Thanks for not flaming!

If your best time is 13.1 then more than likely no. Ive seen stock terminators run high 12's before. Could come down to a drivers race if you did it the right way and took it to the track As stated above, all it takes is a $25 pulley and you dont stand a chance. Tell him you want to take it to a road course then hes ****ed.

"How would I stand against a stock 03 cobra?"
"cobras with stock tires are hard to hook up."

Your Quicker....he is faster...Drivers race......depends on distance of race and where "you want to end it"- ( if he is stock) His advantage top end..so im sure he would want to go the distance for as long as possible...what ever that would be.
Just my opinion.
