Morally superior? If I were worried about this thread I would have contact the moderator of this forum and had it locked. Obviously my comment was made in jest so you need to chill out.

You sure he wasn't runnings 12s in the 1/8 mile? Obviously he wasn't racing a supercharged Cobra. It could be pretty easy to mistake it with an older N/A Cobra, but those would still whip any Probe I have seen.
Honestly, what engine is in there?

2.2L SOHC NA I-4 w/110hp; 130lb/ft
2.2L SOHC Turbo I-4 w/145hp; 190lb/ft
3.0L OHV NA V6 w/140-145hp; 160-165lb/ft
All available with 5 speed mtx or 4 speed atx.
A co-worker I had at Radioshack had one of these with the auto. They had a "hold" sorta autostick thing going on where you pushed the hold button and it would stay in 1st/2nd/3rd/4th till you upshifted/downshifted.
In any respect, he is a typical ricer. Switch the order of the cars, and that was probly what happend.
04 Cobra:
4.6L DOHC S/C V8 w/390hp; 390lb/ft; 6 speed manual
All other 94-02 Cobras:
5.0L OHV NA V8 w/240hp; 285lb/ft; 5 speed
4.6L DOHC NA V8 w/305-335hp; 300-317lb/ft; 5 speed

Since WHEN do NA SOHC 2-valver 4.6Ls from 94-04 make 305-335 Horsepower? I could have sworn it was more like 240-260. You must have been thinking Camaro there for a second.
