Yeah, Havoc's ride clearly is no joke.

Well maybe, unless those seats were installed in a Honda, then they add about 5 hp per pound. They're really a better hp/$ deal than that blower if you have full interior, because the power just adds up per seat. It's crazy really..

You saying you are on your 3rd Fbody doesn't exactly say you're a wealthy person.

You need to paint your headlight housing area matte black to match your corner lights and wheels.

Never said I was rich, if you want to know the truth i make close to 65k a year. Thats not bad for someone my age at this time and age, and I never meant for this thread to be a ford vs chevy debate. All I meant is that the cobra had far more mods and got beat by an LS1 with far less. Not an arguement about who makes more money and who has the biggest ***** on LS1tech. God the internet.

Anyways...I don't care to get that personal. You took me way too seriously. I was just trying to point out that a KB on an 03 Cobra is no where close to ridiculous amount of money.

Man that's an old one and Havoc can drive! I think he went mid 10's on that old set-up.

It doesn't matter what car has "more" mods. If you have a full bolt-on car vs. a car with a 150 shot (not talking about this race), should the car with "more" mods win?

ls1 m6 with cam and nitrous isn't a slow car, but those cobras can get ridiculously quick in a hurry. i think even to this day they own up to the "terminator" designation. if you disagree, then you're probably the type of guy who would post up a race video of a stock LS1 fbody running against gutted civic hatch with a sprayed k20 swap and calls LS1 powered cars worthless.

if you want to talk about who is king of the hill in terms of cost of speed, consider that you can modify a salvaged 1 liter bike and probably put buslengths on anything within $10k of your total project cost.

I love these my car's awesome and your car sucks threads. They just bring everyone together so we can show our true feelings towards each other.

If you were going for bang for buck with the Cobra the mod list wouldn't be the one posted for that Cobra. You could do a port, pulley, and spray pretty cheap and it would be wicked fast, it all depends on what your goals and wants are. That video shows that Nitrous LS1 is faster than that Cobra and nothing more, which really isn't that shocking.

That being said I like both cars and yes Nitrous LS's are no joke.

Exzactly.... for the money a port and spray and your Cobra will fly. I know people wit a port and 100 shot making 670rwhp and 780rwtq.....if you could get that to hook it would roll out.

How do you guys get that **** too hook? Ive seen some of those irs guys Running fast. Is it a pure driver deal or is their some suspension mods that really help?
