Wow, you guys will attack anything to prove that you're right. Yes, I do know Chris, and no we are not one and the same. Give the guy a little more credit than that. I only registered today cause he told me about this thread yesterday cause I brought up a mustang I saw the other night. I found this thread to be so funny that I had to reply. By the way, he got a kick about you guys quoting things from the mustang and ford magazines.

Oh, and by the way, torque is what moves the car, not horsepower.

And here's some of my experience, if he isn't building a turbo stroker, then he's got a big freakin turbo, some headers, a block, rotating assembly, and a million other parts sitting in his garage for absolutely no reason. Oh, and what exactly is your definition of troll? How about a bunch of ford guys lurking on a Camaro website for no other reason than to bust on guys who have a negative opinion of ford products.

Yes, but you can gear a car accordingly, when it lacks torque. Let's see pics of these parts in his garage with him giving us the middle finger and today's newspaper and date visible. That will prove it. A troll is a guy who comes in here spouting bs to cause trouble, aka, you and your buddy. We don't car if you have a negative view of Ford products. Opinions are fine. It's when you guys post bs that you will get jumped like a little old lady in the hood.

For the record, a M6 LT1, a 5M '99+ GT and a '96-98 Cobra are very close races for each other stock for stock.

This sentence has no purpose, and makes no sense.

Congratulations.

He who spewith BS deserves little credit.

I'm glad you saw humor in it - so did I. In fact, I'm having a grand time typing out this reply.

By the way, he got a kick about you guys quoting things from the mustang and ford magazines.
Are you his spokesman now or something?

Oh, and by the way, torque is what moves the car, not horsepower
I see. So tell me young grasshopper, given typical street car torque curves, correct gearing, a typical OD manual transmission, and everything else being equal (weight, driver, etc), which car is going to be quicker/faster?

Car A making 300 lb/ft torque @ 3000 rpm,
Car B making 250 lb/ft torque @ 5500 rpm.

Reasoning for why you chose like you did would be nice, too.

And here's some of my experience, if he isn't building a turbo stroker, then he's got a big freakin turbo, some headers, a block, rotating assembly, and a million other parts sitting in his garage for absolutely no reason.
Cool! Pamela Anderson is in my bedroom. As far as you know.

Here you go: Portrait of a Troll

Have a negative opinion of whatever you wish, but don't expect everbody to agree with it - even on this site. And FWIW, I've been a member here longer than anybody else that has posted in this thread, so you can officially buzz off as far as I'm concerned, junior.

Ah, nothing better on a lazy Sunday afternoon, than a nice flamefest involving a bunch retarded trolls vs. knowledgable car enthusiasts! Thank you trolls for this great entertainment! Now let's hear more bs so we can own you trolls some more.

Just because he used examples from a show or magazine doesn't make them not true. But I agree with steve, an lt1 is a good race with a 99+ GT and 96-98 cobra.

True, but he is changing things around to suit his bs statements. For example: a 260 flywheel horsepower GT putting out 180 rwhp.

Yea that is true. Steve you don't have a cat-back on your car? My friend has a 2001 GT with flows, I love that sound can't wait until I can get a cat-back.

Not yet. I will probably go with the 3 chamber system from Flowmaster. I had 2 chambers on my '95 GT but they were pretty annoying on a daily driven 11,000+ mile per year car. The 2000 rpm drone on the freeway sucks. They do sound great, though!

way off topic but a 96-98 cobra definetely has the advantage vs. a 99+ GT. its still close enough to be a drivers race, but the difference is like a stock LS1 vs. 96-98 Cobra. (both races being about/almost 3mph's difference in the 1/4)

Alright, I said I wasn't going to post on this thread again, but Jason is going to get me in trouble if I don't set him straight. I did not ask him to come in here and defend me, I can do that on my own. The set of headers he saw was an old set that I was using to try to mock up a set of turbo headers. I don't have anything worked up right now. The turbo was one I borrowed so I could do some test fitting and I have since given it back to its rightful owner. I have not made any claims about having turbo headers or turbos in my garage (that are mine) nor will I until I do have a set in my hands. I have started getting parts together to build a turbo engine and that is what is sitting in my garage.

Here's the pictures you wanted, take them however you want. Oh yeah, Steve, I didn't have a newspaper, but I took that special pic for you while standing in front of the TA.

I have tried to remain as civil as possible while posting and everyone has taken everything I've said and blown it way out of proportion. I am again unsubscribing from this thread. Peace and whatever.

Later

I've never had anybody take special pictures just for me. Props to you for going to all the trouble of showing exactly what you have.

Yes the Cobra has about a 2 mph advantage in trap speed, but little or no advantage in e.t. stock for stock against the 99+ GT 5M. Trap speeds don't win races. The LS1 has about a 2-3 mph and 4 tenths advantage over the Cobra.
