Cobra gas mileage

plak424 · July 10th, 2011, 02:02 PM

Hey guys, I'm looking at a 03 cobra with 36000 miles with a ported blower swap. Its running 60lb injectors and twin focus fuel pumps. I was just curious if anyone would have any idea what kind of gas mileage I could expect from this kind of set up.

If your worried about milage, I probably wouldnt buy a beefed up Cobra... I would imagine you can get anywhere from 5mpg-20mpg depending on how you drive it.

Yeah, I'm expecting not great, but I keep hearing of people with cobras getting decent Mileage(relatively), then people getting like 5mpg so I was just curious to see if anyone had a similar set up and what they got for mileage.

My pullied Cobra would do 15-18 (you could get 20 if you set the cruise on 65)

My Kenne Belle'd Cammed Cobra would do 12-16

Pullied here and I can get 20mpg Hwy w/cruise 6th gear 65mph.
Around town......forget it.

my ported cobra gets around 12-14mpg. but since its a weekend car, and i don't it it too often, the throttle tends to get pushed alot when it does get driven.

Around town, your screwed. But the highway is decent. I drive mine daily so I end up filling up a lot.
