I saw a 96-98? Cobra with a KB blower run it at my local track running 106 mph, in fact I have it on tape as he was running almost 1 mph slower than my lid and catback, at the time, 99 Z28 was.

Dont' you love mustang guys and their excuses when a mustang kill is posted here.

Good kill for the ls1!

I definitely would never say anything bad about Justin. He's probably one of the coolest guys I've met on this board so far. Now that he's finally got a REAL car to work on he might be able to get some REAL power onto the track!

Just kiddin! His stang is awesome. Ever since the nitrous jet change, i'd be he'll run some steady 10s. And that motor is beautiful... I was waiting for him to post here.

Good job, I dont particuarlly like the sn95s so i hope you beat him agian. I got no excuses for this guy,
Crap car+ Crap driver = Crap
Crap car+ Good driver = Crap

See if you can find out his track times.

Good kill on the blown GT. I've seen several of them that run 13.0-13.2's @ 106mph. That's bone stock LS1 range. Nothing to brage about that's for sure.

Must have been the 6psi pulley.

Sounds about right. A bone stock 98 cobra with a 6psi vortech should run around 110-112mph in the 1/4.

$14,000 for the cobra, $3500 for the blower kit.
$17,500 total. Not too bad if you ask me.

I'm not going to come up with the "well he must not be able to drive" excuse. That seems to be yours, considering you "missed 3rd, and got your *** kicked".
You sure know a lot about this guys car, considering how far apart you live. :p
Let the guy have his fun, its his post.
We don't need another debate here
I thought Vortech kits for a 98Cobra were over 8lbs (S-Trim)
AmMscl
They are "8psi" kits, which means you might see an 8psi spike, but most of the time you are seeing only 6 or 7psi.

All I was saying was for such a close race, I was just guessing it was a near stock cobra with a "base" vortech kit on it.

I don't care if people post about beating mustangs (or any car for that matter) all day long.
