Ported/Pullied Cobra destroys my WS6 So after watching Sonnen get his face pounded in by Anderson Silva. I left the UFC party and drove by a local In N Out. Saw a bunch of cars there, seemed like mostly fox bodies.
I roll up and see this beautiful black Termie. I small talk with some of these guys for a bit, and met the owner of the Terminator. Chill guy that was down to run for fun.
His mods were: Pullied upper and lower, ported Blower, and full exhaust tune and suspension but with street tires. He dynoed around 500 rwhp I believe.
My car is an 02' 6 speed WS6 with stock 3.42's.
My mods: Small cam, lid, headers, and Nitto 555r's... Dynoed 390/365
I knew I would get beat, but just wanted to see by how much,. And who knows, maybe heat soak tactics might have helped ??? lol
Started in the wrong gear on the first run, second run was a more accurate outcome of what it SHOULD look like.
Result: I lost by about a solid bus length if not more, from 40-130
I stayed even a bit at first, probably due to his lack of traction.

Its all in fun... the first run was a throw away run, i was in the wrong gear 3rd at 45 mph... Second run was better.. 2nd gear at 45mph.
Some ported heads, gears, and other bolt ons for me would make it interesting.
That was one Bad termie though, lol.

I knew going in I was outgunned, so not so much...bud damn that thing moves out, lol. Rob I don't even think your driving skills could do much here, lol.
Well that explains the freight train. Maybe some TEA Heads and a 200 shot might even things up

3rd gear @ 45? wtf. i think 2nd gear at 45 sucks in a 342 car.
i was thinking that car made more than 500whp...he peaced the **** out when he caught traction.
i really don't see the bad side of racing like that. "friendly" runs should be just that. there should be no shame in losing unless you're racing a heads up class or something. otherwise, the playing field is wide open (as this guy proved) and these are street cars, not race cars.
i've been gettin my *** kicked lately in regards to racing. oh well. i can't be mad about something i have little investment tied up in. after i do some modding i might feel differently haha.

Im glad i read all the comments first. Because i was about to post this long as shpeal about how that car def is NOT an eaton car. The whine shouts whipple. And him peacing out the instant he gets traction on your car was a good sign as well. If that was a good running eaton car, you prob would have lost by about 2-3 cars assuming he got traction.. if he didnt, he might just edge you out.
