You definatly need to get a video of this.

I have nothing against cobras...personally I like them. I wouldnt mind having a 03 or 04 cobra.

But yeah, This kid doesnt know what he has.

Just run on a close to empty gas tank and say the winner fills the others car up with gas LOL.

600lbs? 99 Cobras weigh 3400lbs, your Camaro weighs 2800lbs? I see you're e-challenging me to a race. Well, it would be a good race, I'm just in a little old full weight M6 Cobra with simple bolt-ons and a little juice.
i gave him a car length, and we kicked it at the exact same time.. do you really think it would have mattered?

camaro.... what the hell is that..

my TRANS AM! weighs 2900#s... so yes close to 600 lbs.. in another month or so it will weigh right at 2800#s..
i dont think it would be too good of a race.. you would be there, but not close enough for me to worry..

11.58 @ 123mph
150 shot ??.?? @ ???mph


it would be a good race if you sprayed a 150 and i sprayed a 75.

I didn't see a race, but if ya say that is what the outcome should be. I guess we will take your word for it.
You must not be familiar with Lemons, his "stock" car or punisher racing...

Damn lemons, didn't you post that same video in a kill thread and get the same reaction as this guy's???
Must be fun to do what you do. Sadistic, but fun.

Oh yeah...
I WANT TO SEE A DAMN VIDEO!!!

If the OP doesn't post this race soon then Lemons and Bayarea better duke it out and record that ****

yes, i did... it took a minute for the regulars to chime and and give a little insight on my stock car.. and yes, it usually gives me a good little chuckle.

i doubt me and bayarea are going to be duking anything out, unless he wants to make the cross country trip.. would be and interesting vid nonetheless though!

its starting to warm up some more.. so im going to start having a little bit more fun... first warm weekend im going to throw my tires on and have some fun with some bikes.. then ill start setting up some more races. i will deliver some entertainment!

Haha, i turn away for a second and the thread explodes. I keep bugging him to race and say it will be close but he says " I dont want to get in trouble " or " its not worth my time".... but he did say he would take it to the track when it opens so because he wont get in trouble so maby I can get some friendly staging lane bet or something. But if that is when we race it will be real ugly because I just bought an SS3600 so it will be real ugly then....

show him what a 99 cobra is rated at.. and then show him what your car was rated at from the factory... of course the ls1 is underrated.. but still.. and i believe the 99s were actually overrated..

then ask him how much of a waste of gas it is.. they are rated with 10 hp from each other from the factory i believe..

kid is a tool.. /thread

nope...it's called BS..that's why. A bank wont' finance a car that is over priced compared to value like that. the ONLY way would be IF...and big IF, he put a huge deposit down so the financing amount is at or below book value.


Personally...I think the guy is a BS'r and spent 7.5k on a 99 Fobra GT.

Please tell me you are getting some nittos or MTs with the mods you have...i've race a lot of mustangs and the GTs are slow as ****. I don't know if the one I raced had something wrong with it or not, but it was so bad I thought he wasn't racing. We talked afterwards and he just said he needs better tires, but I was on wide oval 245s so that's BS.

I was a stock a4 at the time w/2.73s and LTs and exhaust...it was pathetic. I wont even bother racing him with the mods I have now.

Yeah my friend did the same thing, he wanted to get rid of his v6 mustang an get a eclispe. He went an found an 03 or so eclispe gs. told everyone it was turboed, and that he already bought it an payed 20k for it i was like dude no way in hell would i pay 20k for that car. Then his dad told me it was like 13k

Im not doubting that he paid 17500 for it. His dad paid for it with a check straight up.... his dad is loaded... and I have m/t drag radials on some camaro rims for when the ocasion calls.

how do you know his dad paid for it straight up?

taking "his word" again?


just because people have nice things, nice cars, and do stuff a lot while living in a nice house does not mean they are loaded.. it could mean they are in debt..
not trying to get the thread in that direction just saying.. a lot of times people you think are loaded are no where near it.. they are so deep in debt they will never ever get out.

If it were anyone else i would call bs, but this kids family owns most the town..... his dad took him to the dealership to look at a new challenger but he didnt like the way it drove so he kept lookin.

great....more idiots with $$$....


Seriously though....i guess it's possible, I mean, if his dad's dumb enough to do something like that, they're probably dumb enough to over pay by 10k. LOL


Seriously though, I can't see how a dealership could even consider asking dble the going market. Dealerships don't do that. i tink lame-o tryin' to impess everyone and he's new car datty bought him.
