I understand that. I don't take stocks in bs internet stories or magazines.


I objected to these things he said:


"No matter how you cut it the Cobra wins." That is rediculous

Then his whole comaprison to a honda was way out there and not on topic.

Then his signficant amount of money mod idea.

It was a crap post.

I post a ton over on svtperformance, have a friend with an 04, realize that stock for stock the 03/04 is quicker. That wasn't the point of my post to the other guy.

 

A more appropriate comment might have been, "stock vs. stock and modded vs. modded, the Cobra quite often wins."
Again, his definition of significant might differ from your own.
IMO, it would take intake and exhaust and possibly gears on an M6 car and probably those mods and a stall on an A4 car to hang with a well-driven stock Cobra.
We've all seen the stories of stock '03/'04's Cobras losing to mostly stock LS1's. In a well-driven car, that won't happen. I've beaten many LS1 F-bodies at the track and on the street.
Modded, things can change.

Umm, ok he is right about the significant money. 4k to 5k
will get you there. Your reaction is a little whacko.

 

Umm. Ok you are wrong about the significant money. It takes no where near 4K to 5K to match the performance of a stock cobra. Your reaction is a little wrong.

 

Funny, that ****ty IRS and those ****ty goodyear F1's netted me 1.7 60' times. I've seen just as many bad drivers in LS1's as I have in '03 cobra's. I've seen modded LS1's run 14's, doesn't mean the cars are slow though. Get the point? As for the supercharger and cubic inches excuses. You're making excuses which probably means your still going slow. Run what ya brung and quit crying on the internet. The real racers are tired of hearing your excuses.

 

if you count nitrous..then yea. to run a 12.3 or 12.4 @ 110-113mph, besides nitrous..how much money would it take to run that trap speed/time? can bolt on only ls1's run 113?

 

Yes bolt on LS1's can run 110-113 mph. There have been two guys John Brown and TJ from my local F-body board (www.easternfbody.com) that have ran 11.25 stock internal. (This is not the NORM, both of them were the fastest SI LS1 guys in the country) Another guy has ran 12.4's with full exhaust, and a converter and lid. There are a TON of guys over there that have went far beyond mid 12's at 110-113 SI. See for yourself.

The price all depends on if you can do the work yourself, and where you buy your parts from. Obviously Long tubes, an a converter and lid is mpt 4-5K

Even exluding N20, It takes no where near 4-5 K as a previous poster stated to match the best stock Cobra times.
