What my car has on it now and what I bought it with are two completely different things.
SS's and WS6's with 100k+ miles are normally well over the $9-10k mark here.
Of course some clapped out privately sold and half assed cammed f body will cost much less.
Lastly why the hell should I care?

Are you a Ford guy now?

Denial? Do I need to post the vid of me dragging that bolt on/drag radial 5.0 *** in my ls1 again?
I will continue to drag that bolt on 5.0 and cobra *** again and again at the track, and post every vid here.
So you're going to blame the driver that I raced? It is an automatic and he left it in drive. So now you going to blame the tuner, AED? Oh it must be their fault hahahahah

I know Mark Jackson in tulsa. He has a bolt on 5.0. Wanna run him? Car weighs 3458 pounds. Tune,Boss intake,driveshaft and full exhaust. Stock wheels with drs. Stock converter.Rest of car is stock. You game? That's less mods than you.

Are you talking about tulsa? Stock 5.0's run 11's there. Ask your friend about a guy named Robin Sanders.

My friend's "mild" weight reduction 5.0 weighs 3550 lbs. He weighs 100 lbs less than that.

I trapped 104 mph in 4000 da in the middle of a 100 degree summer day stock. I don't see what the issue here is, the da does not hold steady year round at the track.
As for my 113 trap speed runs.... If I was at tulsa the same day(where the da was right at 0, versus 700-800 at thunder valley) I would have likely trapped 114...
With some bolt ons I'm hoping to hit the 350 whp mark, about 30 more than i make now, and trap 115-116 with my lighter stall. If I went to tulsa(much better air, as previously mentioned) maybe 117.
With that trap speed, I will be running mid 11's.
This bench racing and basing speed, off mods I have done along the way, is the reason it's as quick as it is. It's about optimization. I'm not that guy that doesn't know how to set it up, so just throws a cam in there and hope it runs good.
I also really don't see why anyone would waste their money on a cobra or 5.0.... They are twice the price and twice as expensive to mod. If the progress rate of my car doesn't prove what a waste of money those cars are, in terms of 1/4 mile ability for the money, then I don't know what does. Spend $25k for a fairy dust sprinkled 10 year old mustang to run 11's with bolt ons or $8k for a 10 year old ls1 f body to run 11's with bolt ons. It's not like the cobra is a luxury car, the interior is the same as a normal new edge mustang with the door panel that always falls apart.
Yes there are exceptions, but this is how I look at it after watching some of the cars run here at my track.
Stock LS1= 12's. Stock Cobra=12's. Stock 5.0=12's.
Bolt on LS1= 11's. Bolt on Cobra(ported/pullied included)=11's. Bolt on 5.0=11's.
Power adder ls1(n20, turbo, etc), 10's. Power adder cobra(TVS/whipple/e85), 10's. Power adders 5.0(TVS/e85)=10's.
All 3 capable of 9's with WR + power adder.

Should have clarified.
I will race when the car has the built trans and 8.8 in.
