Replace 6-speed with Automatic and that's what I used to tell the ricers. They still didn't fall for it.

Most LS1 and 03 Cobras guys dont know to much about LT1s unless they had one, a couple of my buddies dont think they can break out of the 12s with just h/c. So, you could have a heads cam, 248/254/108 monster and tell people its stock headed with a CC306 and I doubt they would even know or care. Ignorance is bliss till you take their money

Just audio, no performance or cosmetic mods. It's a DD, and I'm saving up my cash for another LT1 car.

Nope. I had two Optis go out on me, so if I would have said it, I would have been serious!

seriously...i want $45 e-cutouts

im gonna see how much a sleeper i can make mine, its a twin turbo lt1, but the turbos do a great job of muffling themselves, and then the exhaust will go through my three chamber flowmaster to give it the "typical" v8 sound. and the wastegates are dumped to DP's and the blow off valve dumps back to the intake, so the only thing they will head is turbo spool....but becauseof the size of the turbos, they wont be spooling till over 4k rpm, so they wont now untill its too late...i will be stripping the badges and its gettinga stock hood back on it

I raced a kid once in a 3000 gt vr4 and told him that i drove a camaro and he was like "naw man i dont race camaro's. LS1's are too strong for me" but when i told him i drove an LT1, it was like his eye lit up when i said it and he immediately said let do it. Needless to say he respects the lt1 now.

For some reason when i say it's a 95 LT1... everyone is like ok lets race... It's like LT1's are stupied slow or something and everyone beats them... I enter every race with the thought I might loose... but damn you should see the faces when my car pulls them through 3rd and then I turn my harzards on as I cross the 1/4 first...

Then everyone wants to check under my hood... yup stock manfolds LS1 airbox and SLP lid.. Ram air hood. T/b by pass and a decreend maf. I even show them my paper filter... lol... I eat up mustangs day in and day out with my t's off and my windows down.. 03 cobra seems a little much for me...
