T/A lt1 10-29-2003, 05:03 PM This not just another BS story but a kill by intimdation. I was at the track and I saw a white 03 that didn't sound too stock. It clicked off a 12.09@116mph pass and I was impressed. It had Nitto's, pulleys, exhaust and a chip from what he told me. He saw my car run 12.05,12.00, and 12.01@113 and came take a look under the hood. He spotted the Nitrous kit and said Oh thats why that car runs so well. I told him these passes where straight motor and he acted like he didn't believe me. He then went and ran 11.89@117mph. So I pulled up next to his car and told him lets go see if I was telling the truth or not but he declined to race. I pulled up and sprayed after the 60' b/c the car was not hooking on motor best 60' 1.70. I sprayed until the 1/8th b/c i knew it wasn't a real good pass anyways b/c it didn't leave hard. 11.41@116mph. When I came back around he was like is that all you got? I said put up $$$ and we will find out. He declined again :bow:
BlakeW5 10-29-2003, 05:22 PM Nice. Shame people won't back up their trash talk.
94SLUG 10-29-2003, 06:16 PM Typical cobra guy, mod mounds suck, and so do most of their owners. Reminds me of the 03 cobra I raced and he ended the conversation in you needed a super charger just to win.:confused:
Nice kill
Chevy rules

Mod mounds suck? Yeah, strong, forged, blown factory motors that make 375+ rwhp stock and make 500+ rwhp with little mods are really crappy:rolleyes:. I don't know any Cobra owners, but there is probably some truth to that. Chevy ruled until '03 :p.
No pissing matches today:cool: . 375 hp for 34k kind of sucks, and chevy will rule again in 05.:p
BlakeW5 10-29-2003, 08:00 PM Are they coming out with the Camaro again in '05? I've heard talk, but have they made it official?
Rice Killer87 10-29-2003, 10:05 PM the only thing Chevy would have to do is slap a S/C on the C5. then the cobra boys would just complain about "well ur motor is a 5.7,mines only a 4.6"
ive been around several people that wont race a Z28 just b/c their GT has a 302 and the Z28 (LT1) had a 350. im sorry,but its not our fault ford put a smaller motor in it.
FastWhiteTA 10-29-2003, 11:44 PM They don't dyno 500+ rwhp w/ just a pulley and exhaust, they dyno 430-450 rwhp w/ pulley and exhaust...oh and I think 375 is a little high on the stock numbers. I see more like 360 rwhp. Not too shabby though, really.
FastZinTennessee 10-29-2003, 11:48 PM Guy around here has a pulley, headers, full exhaust, intake etc, made 461 rwhp.
Nice Kill(I think)
FastWhiteTA 10-29-2003, 11:50 PM Yeah that souds about right...he's close to my stated range :)
94GrayV6 10-30-2003, 12:23 AM Nice job. Sh!t talkers suck.
Antz97ZNJ 10-30-2003, 12:14 PM mid to higher 11's w/ pulley,exhaust n chip :eek:
T/A lt1 10-30-2003, 01:02 PM Do you know what pulleys, exhaust and chip for that car cost. He had well over $1,500 plus he had Nitto drag radials and he trailered it to the track. So add up a $35,000 for the car + $1,500-$2,000 mods. For $37,000-38,000 for a 11.80 car:confused: You can spend that kind of money b/c i wouldn't.
94SLUG 10-30-2003, 02:10 PM I might buy one some day if it had a 5.0, 5.8, but the mod motor is the worst pile I have ever worked on.
94GrayV6 10-30-2003, 09:51 PM Yeah it is more powerful, but easier/cheaper to work on is what 94SLUG meant I think.
Bob Cosby 10-31-2003, 02:18 PM Yup. Mod motors suck. Damn things hardly run at all in n/a form with just bolt-ons and slicks. I should go out and buy a $5000 LT1 and move up in the world.

IMPOSTER 10-31-2003, 04:34 PM Maybe not a traditional "kill", but Cobra Guy definately got oWned for speaking too soon. lol
