Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know that.

Even though you stomped him, it looks as if he either missed a gear or let off
in frustration.

Unit, I don't think he missed a gear, but he definitely let out.........after the Camaro was about a football field ahead of him!

i donno youd think that if they guy missed a gear he would be bitching about who wone as apposed to posting the video... if the video was takien from the ss then yea i could see arguing that the stang could have missed a gear... he looks to be genuan that he gave it his best. i do agree that it looks like he falls back quick but i think he just hit a shitty powerband as the ss decides ' oh wate he actully wants to go'

sorry unit im there for ya most of the time but i think you might be missin the mark on this one

Ahhh...you guys aren't taking my posts the right way. I'm not trying to back the clown in the '03 Cobra at all. It's 100% apparent that he got the **** stomped out of him. No matter what he would've done it would've been the same result.

That is the way I took your post, just pointing out that I don't think he missed anything other than his pride!

M6 with 273's. Yes 273's.

Out ran a highly modded Supra last night from 60 to 180. He was in total disbelief that he could not catch me. It was awsome.

Thanx Bronco, but i havent had any luck with the classifieds, and my dad is leaning towards an 03 gt. I im having a hard time letting go as the car makes well over 500whp. but my dad insist on something new.

If that was my dad, I'd smack the **** out of him. No offense or anything. If you have to get a Stang, and you want a brand new one, do what Unit did and buy an 03 Cobra. Good luck with everything

I second the Cobra over a GT--the bottom end on those cars is a lot like the supra's, damn near bullet proof. Though the Cobra is a bit heavy, they make awsome power stock, and with a Kenny Bell blower they are down right nasty. I am too deep in the SS to ever go into a Cobra, but man that's a hell of a nice set up right out of the box.
On the other hand, 98 / 99 LS1's are now relatively cheap, and man can they be made to go pretty damn fast for what you would pay for a new cobra.

if it has to be a ford, and he will not drop a an 03 cobra in your hands, try to go out with a mach 1, because they are atleast the N/A version of the cobra motor. if he does not go with that, please try to pull off an ls1 or something of that nature. good luck!

oops sorry unit. yeah there goes my written comprehension skills again. yeah it did sound like he bogged like crazy. there i go again arguing form the same side of the fence.
moddestmike, if you trust any advice on the whole ford chevy thing go with BigBronco hes one person that wont let his biases get in the way and will give you the real deal. mario has always been a streight shooter as well but it kinda sounds one sided from him total pro-gm sorda guy.
again JuicedSS262 sick man... alls i can say is daddy still likes!!
