smaller tires decrease rotational mass,and the smaller wheel allows for a lower gear ratio. such as my rearend gears are 4:10 with a 26 inch tall tire. each size i got bigger, i lose gear. my RT went from 17 flat to 16.1 with catback, CAI, thermo, and 15s.

 

Perhaps there cheaper also. Just a guess lol!

 

Sad to say it but the Mustang would probably win

What kind of a race are you planning on running?

Drag race=Mustang
Tight autocross course=SRT-4
WOT topend race=Mustang
Furthest on a gallon of gas=SRT-4
To the nearest junkyard=Mustang

Of course this is just my opinion.

 

That's a fact!

i think its gonna be a driver race, which seeing as how the stang is a V8, is awful. ive seen a stage 0 run in the mid 13s, and thats where the cobra should be, stock.

 

I think you had the answer in your first post Badstrat, "good driver mod" because I've seen plenty of people with fast cars that can't drive them for anything.

 

its too bad you dont live nearby..i think you vs me in project sebring would be a fun race...

 

LOL, yeah. I should run a 15.9 next weds. long as it don't rain. I'm puttin in race motor mounts so hopefully i can launch it better. I wish I had a 50 shot I could put on it, I could probably low 15s with it.

 

If you run like you did on your last runs down the 1/4, then with your inserts you should finally break that pesky 15 sec. barrier that has been taunting you.
