  • IMHO it's fair to say that this is a combination of car and driver. A great driver in a civic still isn't going to pass corvettes and Ferrari's. But a great car with a good driver can pass good drivers in cars that were better stock, but not as they sit. It's hard to quantify performance between a stock Ferrari and a modified Mustang with different drivers. I have to salute a cobra owner who takes it to real tracks.

  • even tho the ferrari was a def wave by...  still big props.

  • I must say your an awesome driver! few can say they kept up with a Ferrari but even less can say they passed one!

  • I think this has more to do with who is driving the car than it actually being that much faster than the other cars =P

  • hey, dont get me wrong. i love cobras! but the ferrari at the end slowed down and signaled you to go ahead.

  • @TheZman77 You would too if no mater how well or fast you drove + cornered, that blue 'stang was glued to your ass - its racer etiquette, let them pass and don't block the way if a better driver is behind you.

  • Clearly a driver mod. Nice driving!

  • @mikejamesalt Agreed. This driver has superior skills, very obviously so.

  • Cassidy. You are too modest. I watched your lines. It was your driving skill that made the difference against cars costing much more. It was like wacthing a shark in a school of tuna.

  • well done. I have a '94 cobra and it suprised a lot of people on the track. More suspension than engine mods are key.

  • This had very little to do with the cars on the track and more with the people behind the wheel. Watching the corners leads me to believe this driver knows the track better and nothing more.BTW i own a cobra

  • @macq1, im pretty sure they all know the track, or they wouldnt be drivin on it, dont get mad cuz Cobras strike an kill ur gay ass cars

  • @rebelman364 hey smart guy, Read the full comment. I own a Cobra. Also, did you actually watch the video? Look at how they corner. The cobra is a great car, the porsche (if both are stock) is better. This was about driver skill and awareness

  • FFFFFFAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEE

  • @nfb615 you and your b16 gay shit rice crap of a motor is fake this is as real as it gets and 28 thousand people approve so go find your self another car to bash perhaps your rice shit imprezas or evos , now beat it

  • This wasnt even leggett

  • put all 4 cars in a drag and see who wins

  • yea both the porsche and ferrari let you pass them.... there wasn't any eating involved.

  • @pac850 They knew they were about to get overtaken....

  • @DeAdiSSu3 Sorry... stock cobra can't overtake a ferrari OR a porsche for that matter.

  • @pac850 Listen to yourself....lol and how much does the cobra cost again?

  • @DeAdiSSu3 Its cheaper and slower than a ferrari and porsche. Idk how you can argue that.... Either this guy made it faster or they let him go in this video thats all I'm saying. Or the cobra driver is an amazing driver and the other ones suck.

  • @pac850 For one, some of the stock cobras were supercharged, not sure about this one, but an '03 or '04 cobra would hang with porsche 911's except for the Gt2 or GT3, for two, none of the cars in this video were walking away from him....it's a much cheaper car but it's definately intimidating the other drivers....he overtook a corvette also. Even if the cobra is modded, its lightly modded at the most and I give him props.

  • @DeAdiSSu3 I respect your opinion. I just don't think eating is the correct term here haha.

  • @pac850 on this we can agree. I think he meant "a cobra hang with..." lol

  • @DeAdiSSu3 this is clearly a 94-98 cobra; look at the body style. those were not supercharged. also; that ferrari is by no means pushing it to the limit. nor would i expect a ferrari owner to do; thats quite a costly vehicle to risk damaging- it looks to be driving more leisurely than racing... also look at the section where they go up on the berm; the driver is clearly unsure of his input and wiggles the car around slightly

  • @solidcobalt As I said, I wasn't sure if this one was supercharged or not. The fact (according to you) that its not supercharged makes this all the more impressive. I'd much rather thrash a mustang around a track than get overtaken by much cheaper cars in my Ferrari or Porsche....

  • @DeAdiSSu3 i guess... its kind of a moot point; anyone could take their slightly modified vehicle to the local track and take a video of them passing by other more expensive cars out there solely for lap practice or for an auto meet (which would seem the case; not often do you see this wide variety of vehicles all on the same run unless there is a sponsored event) this dosent necessarily mean it is by far a faster and better handling vehicle. many variables here which are unseen.

  • @solidcobalt True, many variables which are unseen. What i'd really want is a Ford DOHC v8 in a Lotus Elise or Exige though, to be honest. I bet it could get scary-close to 200 mph naturally aspirated and go 0-60 mph in around 3 seconds flat. That's pretty much my dream car.

  • @DeAdiSSu3 check out the hennessey venom GT. fits about that description.

  • @solidcobalt I heard about it and watched videos on it a while back, it costs a shitload of money though, more than I could ever pay for a car. I just assume get a used Elise or Exige S and trash the toyota motor, then drop either the 4.6 or 5.0 DOHC v8 in its place with supporting mods. :))))

  • you can drive, they cant, they LET you go around

  • Your cobra is a 94-98 which had a rating of 305 hp and 300 ft-lbs of torque. That ferrari was barely pulling away from you. Is your motor really stock?

  • But mustangs can't corner because it's an American Muscle Car *sarcasm* LMAO

  • @99MCougar He did up the suspension and brakes... otherwise if the driver skill was equal, there would be no contest.

  • @JokingHyena I know, this video just shows what a few modifications can do as well as how deep pockets don't make fast drivers.

  • umm i know every one else saw the ferrari let him pass the vet was a c5 if it was stock it was only 355hp the cobra was 385 stock. and im not going to talk trash..good job man if u wana race let me know ill be buying a c5 and puting a twin turbo kit on itand doing it up.

    i wasent impressed by the skill of the drivers, but the cobra driver was pretty good nice take overs and turn accelerations

  • @firebirdbill89gta i dont think that the cobra was 385 stock more like 340 if i'm correct feel free to correct me but i'm pretty sure that year didnt come with 385

  • @BowtechmanTC if its a cobra r which i was making an asumption of its 385. a reg cobra is like 325-330.

    i wana see him race my friends red reaper dodge charger. its got a super bee style badge but with a reaper in it. it went from 425hp 420 ft-tq. he bored it over .30 swaped a extreme cam, new lifters and springs, motors rebuilt from bottom to top, he had it supercharged he just turboed it, when supercharged he ran 801hp 798ft-tq.

    when turboed it ran 880hp and its got nos now

  • @firebirdbill89gta This guys cobra is from 94-98. Those only produced 305 hp and 300 ft-lbs of torque.

  • @firebirdbill89gta well thats not a cobra R bud so its only got 305 so yes against your friends car it wouldn't be fair so why would he wanna race it its pointless just because he wins doesn't make his penis any bigger

  • @BowtechmanTC obviously and what does penis size have to do anything. dont be a homo im just sayin its lame and you dont know what he has done to his car so u should be the last to lecture me on assuming

  • more like an opinion .................

  • thats all drive there! nice car

  • WTF. Two of the cars just let you by... I would call that eating anything. I would say they are just pussy drivers.

  • @360jeepboy yeah for real!

  • @360jeepboy Track rules require you to let someone by when they're on your hind end. I would probably do that too if a Cobra was on my ass like white on rice.

  • Haha that cobra really can't take corners notice his understeer and the other cars wernt even trying all the cars look like there barely turning while you understeer like a mother fucker ;)

  • The Ferrari put its brakes on... then got passed... LOL

  • Love this, dont matter how much HP a car has if u cant handle it then u dont belong to it :D

  • lmao he waves at the porsche hahahhaa

  • Yeah i think this mustang did'nt tell them they where racing..lol And that ferrari braked for you to pass that wasn't even a race. Nice cars though in the vid..

  • @REDT4R1 It's obvious this vid was set up. It continues to prove ignorance of Mustang owners.

  • Looks like the Cobra was the only one racing and the others were out for a Sunday drive. It's the only way any Ford can win a race, when the competition isn't racing or there is no competition to race.

  • One thing the cobra was doing a lot better than the other cars was line driving. the Ferrari did pretty well but being a vert that severely disadvantaged it.

  • Very nice, I have a S197 09' GT/CS, upgraded suspension, panhard, brake lines, CAI, tune, wheels, sticky tires, and I go out to my local track and keep up with the z06's, GT-R's, SS's, almost on pace with some GT3's that are street ready.

  • AHHAHA i Love this. this is a big FUCK YOU to all the idiots that say Cobra's cant take corners.

  • @sscamaroman u seem mad as hell lol....if u dont like stangs stop looking up mustang videos...simple

  • All those guys are letting u pass, if I was out there u would only see my ass end for a brief second before I smoked ur ass and gave another reason y ford sucks. A simple mod to my car would make me pretty much untouchable to any shitstang out there. Blowing passed parked cars and old people that won't race doesnt count as a win. Get a real car if u want ur manhood to stay in tact, otherwise do that car a favor and send it to a junkyard to be crushed!!!

  • @SSCamaroMan345 Sorry to say man but I agree 100% with you. :) Ford sucks. I drive a 93 Z28 Camaro with the LT1 Corvette engine. And for everyone else who wants to disagree that they didnt let him pass... Look at 2:15. It hurts me to say this but yes, Mustangs are muscle/sports cars. Just my taste I guess and sorry if you dont like it. Chevrolet owns.

  • @SSCamaroMan345 wow dude you have issues. you need to calm that down. and if you dont like fords then dont look up the videos, its pretty simple.

  • Ok this video is bull shit cause that POS 4.6L engine with a Supercharger would never be able to out run a vette, I have an 02 SLP SS and have only lost once to a Cobra, it was Supercharged and didnt show me anything. I've raced plenty of stock vettes that rape my cars soul, so before u go posting more bull shit on the internet u should check ur facts, those facts are: Ford sucks donkey dick, could never hold a candle to chevrolet and never will. I love raping u idiots on my joy rides.

  • yea ummm the guys he's passing actually care about their cars. pit any one of those cars together and cobra will be the first to lose

  • okay the wave of the hand is a signal to say, come on around man, were just cruzin. he didnt beat ANY of those cars, and i hate to say this cause i own a mustang and loveeeeee cobras more than anything, but that car couldnt beat a corvette, a porche or a ferrari if its life depended on it :( ugh thats a bitte taste to say that but unfortunately its true

  • bad asssssssssssssss what you got in that thing mods? what size motor? love it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @slowstanglt1 Most mods besides safety are suspension and brakes. Stock 4.6 Cobra motor-4 valve N/A.

  • those people where prolly like whats this coming up on me...a mustang?! wtf?! i didn't think they could turn!?! hahaha...but sweeet car man great work!

  • @jugarnaunt thanks

  • @intiractive These were HPDEs from a few years ago, I'm running NASA Time Trials now. And If I was in a Civic and passed a Corvette, I'd brag about it even in an HPDE. :-)

  • its modified man and has a supercharger from the factory so its got to be making decent power

  • @jayguy173 Nope, it's a '98. No blower. Just brake and chassis mods.

  • @gcassidy2 what type of brake pads do you use and what you mean by chassis mods you mean sport suspension and stuff

  • @jayguy173 I use Hawk DTC-70 front and DTC-60 rear. Brooks Performance Stage IV Suspension including: KB sub frame connectors and Extreme Matrix system, MM panhard rod, '95 Cobra R springs, Bilstein shocks/struts, KB lower control arms, urethane bushings, 3.90 gearing, Brembo calipers and rotors, brake cooling ducts, Steeda bumpsteer kit, X-2 ball joints, Custom front cross-brace with KB G-Load brace, Steeda adjustable rear sway bar, Cobra R 17x9 wheels w/BFG R1 slicks.

  • Everyone KNOWS Mustangs are in a class with Camaros....Corvettes are in a class with Vipers,Lambo's,,etc....Be real Ford fags....

  • @ThatGuyzZz Ford GT > Chevorlet corvette

  • i love how the porch and ferrari waved him by he didnt pass them

  • @blindasabatt He couldnt pass because he didnt want to risk collision. They waved him on cuz they know he can pass them.

  • i like that banked corner at 1:43.

    its like that corner from nurburbring

  • @Mangobrain82 That's what it was designed after.

  • You spun right after the vid cut off? The porsche and ferrari waved you past, right? Cool mustang.

  • @boogie504 No spin. Open track requires a point by to pass.

  • What track is this? Looks like great fun!

  • @GadgetsNGear Its from Summit Point, both the Main track and the Shenandoah Track.

  • @gcassidy2 What a great bunch of corners there are there! oh and great driving btw, love to wring out that ford V8

  • so how much time do you have one the track i normally have about 30-45 mins

    depends how many racers there and on non race weeks with only like so many poeple you can pretty much stay all day i do get off and check the car

  • @rickg156 Depends on the group. Car clubs usually allow for more time than race groups, because they have to run races and DE events.

  • Great.but my 95 cobra wouldnt outhandle a minivan

  • @01cavi Its open track, not a race. Jeez

  • gotta love passing cars that cost like 2 or 3 times your car...

    good driving!!!

  • what mods do u have

  • Back then, just shocks, springs, gears, subframes, calipers and exhaust. A bit more now.

    See cardomain

  • Thanks...I guess

  • Fast Car, very good driver. It seems that you can use the full potential of your car while the others can't.

  • Thanks.

  • Yes! Classic! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!! Who gives a damn about a ferrari anyway, i had a pullied 03 cobra that used to play with ferrari's on the freeway

  • Wow i would not take my ferrari out on a track, what if someone runs into you?

  • well if your in a ferrari you can probly afford to fix it.

  • nice driving bro

  • Thanks. This is a few years old. Visit my channel for more recent track video.

  • gcassidy2  anyway u dont have right to say that u eat corvettes for lunch! u eat your own shit for lunch!

  • ???

  • Good job man, this is a perfectly good example that most cars can be modified to handle as a race car. Most people think that handling is for ricer "supercars" or european supercars and that it involves mysticism that only those cars can have. Well it doesn't, making a car handle involves suspension modifications, tunning and sometimes weight distribution, just like making a car go faster involves engine modification and tunning as well.

    What's so hard to understand?

  • Thanks. You're right. And that's where all my work has been concentrated. Brakes, suspension and safety gear. I just think its just that many folks don't think about it.

    HP is all, right? LOL

  • @Abe4racing

    I'd say there's a fair bit of mysticism when it comes to monocoque vs body on frame chassis... No amount of springs, shocks, ballast or sway bars than give you what a monocoque can... a full roll cage?.. perhaps. :)

  • nice ride nice driving. Cool track.

  • Sweet vid man excellent driving and like your stang

  • actually cobras had no supercharger till 03-04 terminator cobras

  • 2 out of the 3 cars on here look like they let you pass em ... haha guess some people like to believe they'd be able to beat those cars but some actually can

  • Guess I have to repeate this.

    It's Open Track. Once you catch a car, they have to let you past.

  • sorry bud I'm 1 of those youtuber's that dont read the desc. just watch lol sorry bout that

  • No prob. Most don't, that's why I repeat it every now & then.

    Thanks for coming back.

  • First of all, its not the nurburgring.

    Secondly, have you ever seen a 99/03/04 SVT Cobra with a Kenne Bell or Whipple on it and a griggs Racing System at the front and rear wheels?!

    I believe stock they can't eat this cars but you pay a much less than for a ferrari. So why not and save the money for Supercharger, susspension and other stuff to eat Old Grey men in red ferraris

  • Because thatd be cannablism

  • and even ferrari driver let him to go, watch the hand sign that ferrari driver makes! so mustang driver beware of chocking, when u eat so much shit u asshole

  • this is absurd!!! even porsche driver pointed him to moove on and let stang drive away! dont u all realy thinck that 4.6 l stang can beet ferrari??? there is no turbo, no supercharger, no anything at all on ford! so someone wants to make the name for his car, but hi does it in wrong way

  • your an idiot.

  • What are you an idiot, it's a cobra it comes stock with a blower.......get off you tube and keep playing need for speed

  • I think you can give the ford driver a civic and he would eat those cars anyway. Seems like everyone there is a newbie when it comes to racing on the track.

    ohh well,...good driving on his part.

  • found on road dominating!! ford is king and this guy knows how to drive too.

  • you guys are retarded... its not a cobra its a roush. and that defnatly looks like nurburhring.

  • I've raced on that track in a video game before and I was anticipating your turns and takes Awesome vid.

  • Thanks. Look at a couple of my other videos for full laps of both tracks at Summit Point and VIR.

  • a cobra with a supercharger mounted on a V8 4.6 litre thats pushing 8 pounds of boost beats a race inspired f430, that is fucking hilarious! American Muscle FTW!

  • No supercharger. I have an N/A 4.6. Blowers came in '03.

  • well thats even funnyer, a stock 4.6 beats a ferrari! ROFL MAO!!!!

  • MUSTANG FOR LIFE!!!

  • good video, truly shows its the driver that matters, not the car.

  • lol only heavily modified Cobras will eat those cars

  • look at his driving. this guy knows the race line better then the rest on this track

  • true but to do all that is still cheaper than a ferrari or porsche

  • @uniondude31 Maybe so, but will still cost less than those cars

  • @uniondude31 plus some euro super cars arent so "super". some ferraris only put maybe 400 to the wheel. even though most put down more

  • @uniondude31  yea if those cars were also modified the cobra would stand no chance. but good job

  • u got waved by porche and ferrari

  • That's what Open Tracking is!

    Its not racing!

  • I don't get it, they just let you pass, not even racing?

  • OK, to repeat what's in the title, this is Open Tracking. You go out, you go as fast as you can (or want), and when someone catches you, you point them past.

    I caught the Porsch, the Vette, and the Ferrari, and they pointed me past.

  • your a douche hahaha......you got waved by ha ha but you "ate them for lunch" hahahahahahahahaha.......id expect this from a 15 year old lol

  • Had to catch them to pass them.

    You guys just don't get it, do you?

  • Bonzai

  • looked like that cobra had a boost gauge....

  • As much as I love Cobras, I can tell you with 100% certainty that none of those cars you passed were being driven hard/properly. Sorry.

  • No prob. I know with equal drivers they're all faster cars. And we're all still learning out there.

  • the porche and the ferrari guy waved at you go pass but the ferrari really tried

  • BULL!

  • that ferrari sure was rtying though

  • why? Could you see it sweating?

  • lol kinda

  • he didn't see it sweat, we all heard it sweating.

  • i dont know about this one but i do know that mustangs can handle like they are on rails.. check a little something out called Grip Box from maximum motorsports.. with a little bit more powere.. lets say 400rwhp and a grip box a stang can be a killer at the road course.

  • Thanks. I do have a bunch of MM parts, and it is a very well balanced car.

    View a couple of my other videos to see some of the other Mustangs that I go to the track with.

  • You notice the porsche waved him by... not everyone who goes to the track goes all out, and any of those cars were trying, you wouldnt have a chance. What are you doing at the track with a CONVERTABLE mustang anyways?

  • Having fun.

  • lol dude, we have no idea what this cobra has under the hood....if hes boosted, with supporting mods...he could give them a run for their money. but yea i agree with the "not everyone goes all out"

  • I agree with that as well. If you guys view some of my other videos, especially the HPDE3 ones, you can make up your own minds. And its not boosted. Just 281 rwhp.

  • damn man my gt is making more than that at the wheels

  • very nice video the cobra are the best

  • Thats a Rouch racing ford , run down to your local ford dealer and buy a Rouch mustang.and take back the streets!

  • I love the stangs dont get me wrong, but I'm a Trans Am guy, you know what they say, ponies can run, but birds fly!!

  • Go get 'em little snake!!!!

  • nice stang...but you got waved by..

  • How did you get into racing? SCCA? I've had enough drag racing, I really want to get into road racing events like this.

  • Actually I'm not racing in this video. Its called Open Track or HPDE. You can get started by visiting National Auto Sport Assn (NASA) and clicking on HPDE/Open Track, or SCCA, and clicking on Club Racing/Performance Driving Experience. Then you work your way up through classes towards a comp license if you want. I raced for 13 years and am now just playing with my street car.

  • Right, my uncle does the same thing with the porsche club of america. Thats what I'm looking to do. Have some fun on the weekend without worrying about beating up my street car. I was just curious about the club. I used racing for the lack of a better word.

  • Find the schedules for some tracks in your area, and see what clubs/organizations are offering HPDE's. You'll want a club with some good instruction for your first time out.

  • Cool, I'm only like an hour from watkins glen I'll have to check that out

  • Search for Phoenix CMR Inc. They run events at WG.

    Also, depending on where you are, you can also look at New Jersey Motorsports Park and Beaverun.

  • i like how you waved to the porsh and the ferrari

  • Thanks. Check some of my other videos and you'll see a lot of waving.

  • its required

    they have to wave you on so you can pass them

  • Sucks balls. In the video you make it sound as if you really were racing them but they let you pass. Queer ass lame white-trash Ferrari.

  • I'm not making it look like I'm racing them, but I did catch them.
