The first impressions of the Ford Mustang Cobra were amazing, it went for its first race at its local drag strip, with its whopping great supercharged engine size of 5.8 litre,V8 engine with a massive 425 horsepower so there is no doubt that the cobra flew down the drag strip for its fastest ever first drive.

The Ford Mustang Cobra was first introduced back in 1968 with just huge engines and all of the interior taken out to make the car lighter and faster for the drivers, compared to today’s Cobra where everything is so light it don’t matter what goes in the car, it will still go as fast as its made to go no doubt about that.

Although Ford like to say the engine has 425HP standard but when it gets taken out on to the drag strip and is modified by the teams they get taken up to around 500-600 HP and are able to clear the strip in just 11 seconds, where the cobra’s are just so fast and powerful private teams at the NMRA Ford nationals event managed to get hold of a few to use in their races.
