I was at my friends house in Little Canada just hanging out, then like at 11:20 p.m. I left to go back home in St. Paul. So I was driving on 35w going back home and I see this car catching up to me slowly. I thought it was a GTP for a second, until it got closer. Then I realized that it was a Mustang. I was getting excited, because I havent had a race on the highway in a while. So the Mustang pulls next to me and I see the Cobra sign. I've been wanting to race one just for the hell of it, so I put it into 3rd and go. I'm like half car ahead, when I hear the guy floor it and all I hear is the rumble and the supercharger. Then in no time, the Mustang was ahead of me by like 1/2 a block and I was still in third gear. Yeah, so I gave up right then and caught back up to him and told him he had a nice car. I never knew that those SVT Cobras were so damn quick, makes me think twice about wanting to race corvettes just for the hell of it. Atleast I know where I stand now. I've got quite a ways to go! I like racing V8's, even though I'm not that quick, but its fun when you beat some of them (the slower ones) with a 4 cylinder. But I still like those muscle V8s, they're so awesome. So far, I'm the only person at my school with an import that can stand a chance against those Camaros and Mustangs that go to my school.

Whoa....time for me to go to bed!

Ya the Cobra is hard to kill, but the Gt Mustang easy kill. :whipped:

There's this Junior at my school who owns a Cobra. I was hoping to have the quickest car at school this year, too....bummer!

I havent had one good race with a GT yet, so I dont know if they're easy or not. The closest one I've had was against my co-worker. He floored it and I just floored it in 5th gear for about 3 seconds and then I went into third. That was kinda late then, so he won thinking I actually tried.

One of the local DSM guys has an '03 Cobra with a few mods, it dynos 450 whp on pump gas. I went for a ride in it and was very impressed, we'll be doing a little comparo once I get around to replacing my clutch. :3gears:

who is that?

Whats all done on your car? I'm guessing that since you're going to go up against that cobra, you're loaded with stuff. The Cobras sound really nice with the supercharger and all, doesnt it? One of these days when my uncle comes back down to visit us, I'll take his car down to University and have me some fun. He's got an '04 GTO...I love that car so much. Makes my car feel like a slow civic after driving his.

Oh yeah, I just found out that the guy with the Cobra at my school doesnt really have a Cobra. Its just a GT with all the Cobra badges....got me fooled along with everyone else at school.

what a dumbass, who would just put the tags on??

Thats the ricer way! :)

He said that he's saving money for a supercharger which is going to cost like $3000. So I'm guessing that he's getting car ready for when it becomes like a Cobra...

Anyone going to Rock Falls next Sunday?

Its still wont be a cobra... just a GT with a supercharger.... what a tard.

lets say he gets 30% more HP with the blower, that will put him at 338 HP @ the motor with a manual tranz a 9% loss makes 308 WHP. I'm beeing generous with the numbers but its still not a Cobra. :dsmrule:
(260 hp assumed -2003-)

Plus, the GTs are 4.6 SOHC and the Cobras are 4.6 DOHC. So its going to take more than a supercharger on a GT to make it more like a Cobra. Oh well...if I can beat him then people at my school will think my car is fast!....haha

I still cant forget the sound of that Cobra as he flew by me...it was way worth the lost, IMO.

I have a friend that has a 97 v6 stang with cobra badging - yes, I am ashamed to call him my friend. :)

And yes, us GT owners are extremely slow.

hahaha....Dont feel too bad. I actually thought that kid had a real Cobra for the past month! I lost to a 95 GT, so I must be one crappy driver or just driving a slow car!

LOSS

not LOST

argh
-e

Don't let those 03 Cobras push you guys around, just give them the 3 honks and let your turbo do the talking. :3gears:

I did that without the 3 honks and his car did all the talking, not mines. I'm still on stock motor, stock turbo. I shouldn't have raced him, but if I didnt then I would've never known how quick they are. I'm not quite up there yet...

Have you guys ever heard of QPR?
They specialize in moters for dsms.
I have been in touch with them and for just about 4gs they are gonna build me a 4g63 motor with about 400 hp. I guess that about the minimum hp theyll do.. lol
I still need to be streetable, but i dont think even a viper will hold to a 2g dsm with 400whp. If you guys really wanna go fast get in touch with them

The 400 will be that low based on your turbo set up, our motors are built to handle a minimum of 500-600. Most are built to handle more. At least the bottom end is. ;-)

You gotta take off at the 1st honk to let it spool so you can keep up on the 3rd honk jump. :goodluck:

I like that idea. That'll give me the lead for the first couple seconds...haha.

Yeah, I know QPR. I'll go to them when I need some motor work done, which wont be too long from now. I think my head gasket is going out and I need to get some porting done.

QPR, qpr.....hmmm...sounds familar. I can't think of where I heard it before though.

Ahh! Now I remember! It is the owner of the site and 2 of the Admin that own it! Oh yeah, and Swanny too :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ........I thought of the same thing when the guy asked that question. I just wasnt sure if he was kidding or not.....

If I had a Cobra, I would put GT on it. :cheers:

That wouldnt be a bad idea. Some people are intimidated by the cobra signs and arent by the GT signs.

It was on just like that, that I got beat by. Really nice.

the sad thing i that the it not that fast of a car. about a month ago me and a friend are on hwy 10 and one pull up next to us. we are in a bone stock LS-1 camaro. we got a light and the stang had us by about a car off of the line, both hit second about the same time and we walked away from him after that. ended up beating him by a car and a half.

the camaro is fast darth_laser has seen if first hand.

yeah but the cobra just needs a pulley and it will walk all over you..

-E

I highly doubt that was an '03 or '04 cobra. You probably got one of the non-supercharged ones, unless the guy was just a terrible driver.

BULL SHIT!!!!! It was supercharged damn-it. That Z ran a 12.72 and a 12.89 @ B.I.R. STOCK!!

I SEEN IT!

Ford cant make a fast car even with a supercharger. The new saleen mustang got it's ass kicked around the auto-cross track @ B.I.R by the damn SRT-10. yeah its a f-ing truck. (i read it in motor trend) The mustang is a joke. F-body all the way!!

WOOT!

Stock LS1 with 300 whp running 12.7???could be but it would take 530hp to run 12.3 in a slamaro.

You know what's sad? That this sentence was typed out by someone that grew up in the American educational system:


Oh and PS: You don't know shit about LS1s or supercharged Cobras, it's painfully obvious to everyone.

i swear i get headaches due to bad writing like that!

-E

What is a hadaches?

Are you fucking stupid. I know everything there is to know about 3rd gen small blocks.

My neighbor, 99 ss w/ a lid, long tobe headers, and a pully, & nitto 555r ran a 12.31 @ b.i.r that same weekend.

its not my fault a stang cant run that a 12 second quarter without having 500 hp.

take a peak on LS-1tech.com if you think im full of shit,and i'm not.

Than why does chevy call a 5.7L a 350?

I have a LS-1 (or maybe lt-1, I really don't know) Z-28 Camero in my garage right now. 95 with ~50K on it. It is pretty damn quick. Give me a call. It is my roomates second car and will be going away for the winter soon. He will be gone for a week starting next weekend, we can have some fun. ;)

yeah its a lt-1. 93- 97 was the lt-1 and ls-1 98- 2002. yaeh we'll run 'em

and by the way its camaro, not camero

I beat a 97 style z-28 with a blown headgasket, a clutch that was slipping, and misfiring the whole way after the launch. All it had done wasw intake and exhaust.

Yeah, LT-1's and LS-1's aren't anything to me and I only run 12.7's with 320whp. And keep in mind this is from a roll. Aaaaand, this was on pump gas so I am only at 270whp with no ET, and a horseshit tune that doesn't give me any power above 5500K.

And these weren't base V6's either, one was a WS6 Formula and the other a 6 Speed SS.

F-Body, Schmef-body :razz2: :dsmrule:

What a RICHARD people can be. Plus you must be stroking b@!!$ too if you think you KNOW IT ALL about the 3rd gen small blocks. :liar:
Look at Dsmstyle.com I am the all knowing DSM person because I go to the site.
and spell check this for me will you please.
Only IMO that is.

PS it's yeah not yaeh.
