Yeah I wouldnt mine going again from a stop, and a slow roll like a 20mph and we could go again from bout 50. I just find it hard to believe that year cobra can beat my car with just them mods. Like I said I dont know how much if anything the t-tops being off would affect going from a higher roll like that also.

Hey
I'm new to LS1/T but I go both btw so I'm not just another Ford dude so I like both but he could hv a turbo just low turned down boost press. N probably some other electronics on it I hvnt heard the car so I'm guessing but if u didn't hear the winney sound like u said I bet it has a turbo if not a Romeo 4v for starters which is the block probably...

Highly doubt it was a turbo car even on low boost pressure 6-8 psi they run like bastards and it would have been alot worse of a beating IMHO.
Maybe the whistling that you heard was the Cobra with some Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis whistle tips (By the way if you don't know what I mean by this go to YouTube and search "whistle tips" great entertainment)

I'd be ashamed if I had an M6 LS1 w/ those mods and lost from a roll to a 97 with just gears, x-pipe, catback and tune. It shouldn't have even been close.

Why? An n/a 4v with bolt ons can trap ~110 with minimal !weight. That's about right for a ls1, as long as you aren't going out of the mustang's gear range, there's no reason it shouldn't go either way.

110mph for a full bolt-on car is not the norm where as I have seen plenty LS1/M6 cars with full bolt-ons trap 112+ at full weight. Heck i've seen stock ls1's trap 107-108! Your comparing a 340-350rwhp car to one that will barely top 300 with bolt-ons. Plus the average bolt-on 4.6 is going to have either 4.10/4.30 gears to make use of it's powerband but does not help much on a high speed roll. LS1 is easily the faster car.

I owned a bolt-on '97 snake so I know how these cars fair, and they are not on par with a bolt-on ls.

You must live in a mine shaft or something.For the norm, most bolt on a4's trap ~108, and most m6's trap ~110. As for the gears, as I said before, as long as they don't go too fast (the area where they were wouldn't allow them to) they wouldn't get out of the cobras effective powerband, and it would be irrelevant. LS1 is not easily the faster car, it's a toss up.
You say the norm for a full bolt-on car is 110? So basically your saying full bolt-ons and supporting mods are only good for what, a couple mph? What are you smoking? I run at Sacramento Raceway Park in Northern CA, a sea level track. Maybe you run at a poor track with high DA or something...

You must really be in la la land if you think a bolt-on '96-98 Cobra vs LS1 is a 'toss up'. Either that or smokin' something potent. :ROTFLMAO: Your talking about a car that in stock trim normally traps 100-102 vs one that will trap 105-108, plus reponds better to mods thus making more horsepower and torque than a n/a 96-98 era 4-valve, and to boot both cars weigh around the same. So what makes it so hard for you to understand that a full bolt-on LS1 willl be faster than a full bolt-on LS1?

FWIW, My '00 was trapping 107.1 bone-stock at 296rwhp. After doing full bolt-ons (ls6 intake-swap, ported tb, bellows, lid, u/d pulley, electric w/p, SLP 1.8 rockers, free mods, LT's/ory, no muffler, tune) my trap speed was 112-113 at 357rwhp. I run at SRP as well which is a track well know for quick times so maybe where your at cars trap slower. But out here 110-112 is the norm.
