whats up w/ the new 2004 saleen
i was on the freeway next to a 04 saleen - it sounded way cool
and looked even better...it also sounded like this had a nice supercharger - i know saleens are supposed to be faster than the cobra (correct me if im wrong)
anyway we are side by side - he would hit it, i would hit it (doing around 120 or so) - we could not pull to far ahead from each other...
anyway we get off the freeway and are at a red light - we go at it and i take him off the line - and stay ahead of him by a few car lenghs up until about 80MPH, then i just let off the gas, 3-4 seconds later, he blows by me..
at the next light he takes off all slow, so do i.. then i get a car in front of me and he looks at me and revs then goes and im stuck in traffic..
why do soo many people refuse to race after they lose, unless u have someone in front of you???????????????????
the same thing happend with 2 cobra's in my neighborhood..
i also love the excise - i mis-shifted - or i spun them too hard
if i lost - i just say - oh well... and spend more $$ to fix that problem
i did lose because i was still spinning the tires at the end of the 1/4 mile - i lost - didnt make an excuse - i lost - that it... they guy that won was way impressed i was still spinning the tires at the end of the 1/4 mile - i thought it was cool
im not gonna fight traffic tring to race - if there is traffic - i wont try to go around it and i wont drive like a idiot.. someone dring a Z06 tried 2 race me and totaled his car...

Re: whats up w/ the new 2004 saleen
You have some pretty exstensive work done....there only high 12 second cars w/ the blower/tires and a professional driver...The new Cobras would eat one of those alive...That must be a REALLY HOT CAM
Re: whats up w/ the new 2004 saleen
I just dont see how you could "spin wheels" at the 1/4 mile mark. Obviously you're trapping about 110 or so? So you're saying you can let off the gas going that fast, then stomp the pedal & spin them?

If he has 443rwhp and can only trap at 110, then the car needs to be lit on fire and rolled off a cliff.
That much rwhp should be good for 120 - ish
Re: whats up w/ the new 2004 saleen
lol it's unlikely *I* have 443 rwhp. on a hotcam?! Nah. Think I'll dyno before I shut the car down for winter just to know where I was before my 427/procharger combo goes in.

Re: whats up w/ the new 2004 saleen
yeah. I probably have around 430-440 at the wheels and I only spin partially through 2nd, get squirrely into 3rd, and bark 4th... but no spinning through the 1/4 mile... and it's an m6.
LOL now his sig says he's got a 427 LT-1. Is that even possible or has it been done? and if it is, now it's just a turd if it's only making 443 rwhp with those cubes--- and his mph has gone up. Not bad for 2 days work.

-Sidenote: I dont usually do that but come'on....limited slip?
Re: whats up w/ the new 2004 saleen
LOL. I had a blown 94 Vette that made exactly 443 rwhp on pump gas (stock injectors and tune). It trapped at 121...so you're dead on. This guys full of sh*t....spinning at the end of the 1/4
