Damn, that AMG got its *** handed to it. I thought it would have been the other way around. Oh well.

Am I missing something? Does he Cobra have a turbo or supercharger under the hood? Or am I miss reading his Modifications? Basically his Cobra has to be putting out about 600hp and 700lb-tq. Am I right?

That Cobra has a supercharger from the factory and at the beginning of the video it says he has a 2.80 pulley, i.e. he’s not stock.

The 03/04 Cobras come supercharged. A Modders dream really, they are pretty much even with a Z06 from a roll but dollar for dollar they are one of the best cars IMO. Still though, from what I've heard about 65s from a roll, it shoulda been different. I'm scared for the world if all that the Cobra really has is a pulley, exhaust, and intake!!!!!

On the second vid, the reaction time on the Cobra is SLOW......but from the vid you can see the Cobra start gaining on the Benz, maybe the Benz is lifting??

I'm having a hard time understanding this, the Cobra is carrying at least 2 person, with pretty standard mods, how can it pull away from a CL 65 so fast??

Brand new Benz, not broken in?

I think he just let the Benz get the jump...? Could be the fact that it's not broken in, or maybe the Cobra really is a beast like that. mid-low 11 sec cars aren't uncommon in the world of American muscle. What's the CL65, 11.8-12.0 or so?

Yeah those CL65's are extremely heavy. I guess I'm just really surprised. But I shouldnt be. How much hp do those Cobras have stock? about 400hp?

Let's have Jesus' stock silver AMG E55 back to spank this Cobra again.

This Cobra looks extremely similar to the one that got owned in that video.

And it's not any faster than the CL65 anyway. On the freeway it had jumped a few feet before the Merc. actually tried to start. On the street it wasn't really catching up to the Merc. in no time either.

It may be the same car but I will bet my life that it's putting down more power...at very least has better tires than the last vid.
