Default Solve an arguement

A guy in my class that think he knows everything under the sun about cars and he tried to tell the people in my classs that a cat bac system replaced the cats. I said and correct me if im wrond that you keep your cats. Am I right?! I was pretty sure I was but Im hoping I didnt make an idiot out of myself. Also hes getting a 95 cobra......I have a 99 trans am with k&n,lid,corsa,and ram air,a4/3.23's. What would he need done to stay with me? And everyone be realistic with thte comment I know hes going to need alot!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Thanks for the help!

You're right. A cat-back system doesn't replace the cats.

Not sure what your buddy would need to beat you. What do you run in the 1/4? Somewhere around 13.2-13.4?

you are right. well the 95 cobra still had the 5.0 in it. 96 was the first year for the 4.6 in the stang. from what i have been told by my mustang buddies the 94-95 5.0 were slower than the previous(fox body) stangs, they think it is due to the intake receiving air from the side & the air does not go straight in,but has to bend to the side slowing down air vol. if the cobra is stock he will get murdered. the 93-97 LT1's stock for stock easily beat these cars. i would say though that the 5.0 with the right mods can be a terror.

I honestly had a difficult time trying to interpret your last post. I'm sure everyone will help you out, but could you please be a little more clear?

Pewter99_TransAm,

Don't worry about this clown. He probably tries to talk a big game. I'm sure you're going to walk his ***. It sure doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about. He probalby drives the same way.
