Who's who? Also the only Cobra made in 2000 was the Cobra R. So that's what this is then?

I was in the far lane from the camera car in my GTO, my friend was closest to the guy filming. I think it's a 2000, but I know for sure it's a stock internal 4V 4.6 and 5-speed with 3.73's and bolt-ons similar to my Goat.

Gotcha! Nice work. If it's a 4.6 then it's either a 1999 or 2001 Cobra, and they were rated 320 hp stock. In 2000 there was only a Cobra R and that was a 5.4 rated at 385 hp

A cobra R (2000 only I believe) would have given you a good run, though they are so rare that if someone claims to have one most guys automatically throw up the BS flag. The pre and post 2000 year Cobra's were turds and couldn't give a LS1 Fbody or stock LS2 GTO a good run unless they were geared/tire from a dig no matter if Ford rated them at 320hp or not. Plenty of lawsuits and threats of lawsuits involved from cobra owners over that matter, too.

There are a couple of NA cars into the 11's@116 range and a handful of them in the 9's with boost.

Unless they have the fix, the 99's were pathetic, actually slower than the B headed cars.

You didn't specify mods or weight loss, you used a blanket statement in saying that the old cobras weren't much. An 11.3@117 NA and a 9.55@141 blown qualifies as quick.

Then of course you have the mach 1's, three of them running 11.1@120 with 3000-3400lbs raceweight and NA. Again, not exactly a slouch and basically the same as a cobra with a SRA swap.

Who cares if LT1's were faster? I wasn't making a comparison to anything.

They weren't much. Junk pretty much.

Sure you were making a comparison.

This thread wasn't about fbo or blown cars. You made it a point to include those in what was a mild comparison of the cars. Neither of which are fbo or blown

Not too shabby for the old cars. Old Mach 1s have been quicker than the quickest bolt on 5G then

And Fbodies weren't junk? Or LT1's for that matter?

You made an inaccurate blanket statement, I was correcting it. Be more specific next time and this wont happen. Not everything has to be ford vs gm.

No.....what i said made your ******* gape open. So you then figured you would just throw the book at it to make believe differently.

And you've never posted **** to back up any if your claims wuth your iwn junk.

You seem to be an angry person and it's amusing at how easily I get under your skin. This is a very short thread and it's clear that I made no comparisons. Your original statement of "they weren't much" was clearly proven wrong by track times. The statement of "mostly junk" is pretty much impossible to prove wrong since it's a personal opinion.

I understand why being wrong upsets you, but it doesn't change the fact that you are wrong.

Whatever I did or didn't prove in a previous argument has absolutely nothing to do with this particular thread. Just like your lie of omission about mods has nothing to do with it.
