Ahh....another genius comment.......3650 is junk. Well obviously you have never heard of Promotion Powertrain.....check out their site if you want to learn something about what those trannies are capable of built up. I have a friend that runs 10's on a T-5 built by Promotion with Astro components. Another 12 sec car.......no not at all. I am just amazed and would like to know where you get your facts on what cars are capable of with a good driver. You watch people that cannot drive their cars run times and you automatically assume all the cars do the same thing. It is very hilarious. Any legitmate human being that knows anything about Cobra's will tell you a pulley, chip, exhaust car can go 11.50's-11.60's Yeah and as someone said above the car would trap 119-120 before. So with a trap speed of 119-120 and the weight of a Cobra means it would go mid 11's with a good 60ft and a good driver. You claimed you can beat any....ANY Eaton blower car. Ported or not this is your claim and I think that is what bugs me the most. You are awful cocky for not having a clue about the car you are ripping on so bad. FYI this will not be the same car at all as when Kane had it....not even close. I believe you car went 12.5 but not with a 2.6 60ft that you claim. 2.0-2.1 I would believe it for sure. Anyways........spring will be here soon and the score will be settled. Travis can take his money he wins and by me dinner afterwards......right Trav?

So your saying a H'eaton with a pulley swap, tune, and catback can do 11,50's on a IRS with a Diff brace or with a stick axle? Yes I believe if you are a seasoned test driver for a magazine or a NMRA racer it is possible. But joe shmo who goes to the track 12 times a year I doubt it. Larrys KB 2.6 putting down 600 plus on race gas and slicks does 11.50s and he has decent experiece at drag racing. He drove his Mach 1 with just a tune and catback on drag radials and gears to a 12.80. But it required dumping the clutch at 6000 grand. Don whats your brothers name (mofasta) that runs that stock heaton with every shifting mod and big tires with a stick axle. He went what 11.80's at the IHP shoot out. Your planning to put a pro built 5 speed in your cobra. Hope you don't like downshifting, a friend made that mistake in his cobra. It was awesome going WOT, but driving around town it sucked. Maybe you need to swap in a 4R70W like all these Ls1 ****** () running a automatic. If your smart you will show up to run Harbaugh with a bottle of giggle gas strapped to that heaton. Then I see your Heaton hitting that number. Terminator owners are cockyess SOB's ever, because they bought a good running car and do minor mods with big success. Start with N/A car running 14's out of the box and start playing in 11's and then come back and talk all the sheit you want.

My 01 went 11.5s with only about 450~470rwhp on a QTP 26.0 x 9.50-16, solid axle & stock 5-speed back when it had the p1sc on it. The 03/04s just need to lighten up.

What seperates the MEN from the boys. . . is the knowledge they about their toys.
lol James. .. "I'll video tape" funny...
I say to the mustang guy: If you know how important it is making the car work, just as I have learned in the past (less horsepower cars with less Rot. LBS outrunning Stock Sus. BIG HP cars ) then your one step above the rest. Dont give away your secrets just to prove a point. My buddy's LT1 Camaro is a second faster than I am and I make more HP to the wheels than he does and about the same amount of Torque, but he knows how to make that Car WORK! So thats what I am after this winter, going faster with less Horsepower and Torque than the other guys.

As to Travis: That things runs like a champ from what I have seen. I don't know what your up against or what your intensions are to your car, but good luck to ya.

I choose the guy who has the best working car and since no one knows who that is... I'll guess we will just have to wait and see!!! Yeah!!! Run Them!!!

It's a solid now.

Not all Terminator owners are like that, But I do agree there are a lot of them that are. Reminds me a lot of Corvette owners, A lot of them are really cocky and douche bags but there are those who aren't like Dragman

And why does everything have to be n/a to be able to talk? Yea it takes a lot of effort to gain 3 sec N/A but thats also for someone who has a ton of money to spend. Which isn't a lot of people like myself who have to resort to f/i. A fast car is a fast car. But I do agree that a fast n/a car is badass!

WOW I just read something about some guy saying he had a 600hp Cobra with Drag radials and experience behind the wheel and ONLY RAN MID 11'S? With that amount of power, that thing should be in the Mid to low 10's with your simple suspension mods, and a decent tranny. Anyways I think what the problem around here is too many street racers just going after more HP and Torque, instead of looking at whats more important: Driveline, Suspension, Rot. Weight. Etc.
A lot of the cars out there that you see make 500HP (Supposively... Never Been on a dyno) and put a Nitto on the back are the ones you see breaking **** all the time, running like **** from a dig, or the usual... LETS GO FROM A ROLL!! I mean seriously unless Your Making 600HP to the wheels and are on a 10.5 tire, DONT EVEN ASK TO RUN FROM A ROLL. Cuz if you dont know how to make 400HP to 500HP hook at the track, then how in the hell do you expect to run on the street. As soon as I put a bigger stall, gear, and tune on my car: I was amazed to see how much faster my car picked up. I went out and imparrassed two evos's that said they ran high 11's low 12's. I ran a 500HP TT G35 a Z06 Vette, etc because none of them knew HOW TO MAKE THE CAR WORK!! And what did I here afterwards, " You wanna try it again from a 30 roll" You think I said yes? Hell No, Ive seen those cars rull race and want nothing of them, because I'm trying to make the car work not make power So... since there is a lot of **** going down next year (Supposively) then I hope someone comes out with a car that works. If not, its just going to be worthless to watch!!! (To Me... Only cuz It doesnt tell you much)
I am not offending anyone car, person on tech. I just get tired of hearing people say they make this amount of power, but have never had a dyno!!! OR My car runs 11's but 60ft's 1.90's. It just gets to the point that if your going to talk **** and defend yourself, You better make sure you can back it up.
I personally had problems hooking up on the street last year with my first stage, but I just got done building the car so I had no idea what it was going to do. SO I could keep going but I won't cuz My **** aint fast, I'm not a pro. I just have learned the hard, and am now begining to realize the importance of losing weight, and 60ft'ing. I dont care what my car runs in the 1/4mile until I can 60ft in the 1.50's on both stages because ON THE STREET, SPINNING AINT WINNING, Unless your James!!! LOL This thing is too long Sorry if your read the whole thing and dont know who I am!! BACK TO THE GARGE

i agree!!!!i never had the money to buy a sticky tire over summer....i spent the money on a trany then had to search for another job in august......if i had the tires then i would of ran with them....the night of the tech meet was james's choice to let me use his m/t's and i still thank him.....i raced the other grandnational later in the year and got beat....but when i had the m/t it was a different car.....i still had some traction problems but good thing i had the top end power to pull through at the end....it was some good racing.....and im the same with matt i dont have big money so im goin the cheap way out and gona spray my car....its everybodys choice wat they wanna do.....if people wanna stay all motor then fine..if people wanna run a supercharger then great....but people cant give u crap for doin those things bc they can buy it jus like u....
