First off, i want to give the termi credit. very fast car, and a very good driver at the wheel. two races both 30-110 roughly. Mods

Lt1 ta-full bolt ons and exhaust, cc503 cam, 150 plate kit. minor suspension. 373s

03 cobra- Pullied, tuned, straight axle conversion and some exhaust? not sure how much, just think cat back. and 456 gears.

Both cars has passengers, he had his girl i had my buddy who weighs 280 with me. dont, make a difference from a roll anyway. just there cause i know someone will ask.

Only got one vid, as you will be able to hear, he drives the **** out of that car.....

we both spun like a mother on the second run anyways...

Why put 4.56 gears in a pullied 03 Cobra? Stupid.

Here is the same 03 Cobra losing to a Challenger with some mufflers.

because it runs DAMN good, lol. Lt cars are notorious for having a ton of bottom end grunt, but i couldnt leave him like i thought i would. for what that car has it runs really well, he ran 11.9 granny shifting. that race he was power shifting. im sure its a 11.6-11.7 car.

He has a solid axle, blower, built motor, 4.56 gears and runs 11.9 granny shifting....impressive.

no built motor...its stock with the stuff i listed, and btw i kinda take offense to people saying his car is slow becuase i didnt beat him by much so its also like your saying my car is slow.

Slow is relative to the field you're playing in...

The 4.56s are a bit too much, there prob hurting the cobra. Good kill however!

Sticks n Stones

In the world of modified cars that both you and I are standing in when you talk on this forum or others like it, both your car and my car are somewhere between "Slow" and "Somewhat Respectable". It's all relative!!

By doing the mods we have done, we moved out of the realm of close to 'stock street cars' and into the realm of 'purpose built street/strip cars'. aka we are now little fish in a big pond. your choice whether you decide to call it enough when it comes to speed and mods: if you want to hang in the little pond and rule it, all the more power to you. -- or you can keep competing and modding and work your way up the heirarchy of the new pond you are in.

I choose to stay in the big pond. Humility is a bitter pie to eat though! Try not to have to eat too many slices.

11.9 is respectable...most people just think they can run 11's

Ehhh what video are you watching? The cobra pulled WAY harder than the challenger first run and won. Second run the challenger got the jump, but again the cobra pulls way harder and caught up and smoked it.

4.56s, wtf?

I could be wrong, but I think he might be referring to the Cobra having one from the factory. Well let Stop weigh in for himself though...

Still going to the track tonight?

snake95

I'll be there regardless, I am still contemplating racing since I am not tuned yet (and just added longtubes and ported intake to my H/C car), even though I will be very soon. This would be my last free Tuesday since next week school starts and I'll have to skip my night class if I ever want to run.

You should probably just run for that reason

Do it man, then you will know a before and after! Shoot me a txt letting me know what she runs. I will make a guess before but I don't plan to share it with you. What kinda tires would you be on? I need to know this to make an accurate guesstimate.

Good kill!

I will say that everyone always says that LT1's have so much "grunt" down low, but from my experience that's just the perception (how they feel) because they run out of breath up top. Does anyone actually have a dyno showing that a stock LT1 makes more power/torque than a stock LS1 down low?

Gotta be the same car in both vids since there can't be two knuckleheads who thought 4.56's would be a good idea in an 03 Cobra

Cobra should be running 3.90's at most I would think.

WSsick

I think I saw a head to head comparison dyno sheet over stock or close to stock LT1 vs LS1, and the LT1 isnt a torque monster like everyone says. I think it is just the running out of breath up top as you said, and the LS1 has a broad torque curve all over and just pulls alot harder up top.

im pretty sure someone posted some stock dyno numbers and it proved the ls1 made More hp and more TQ at ALL rpm ranges than the lt1. pretty much the ls1 makes more HP from idle till redline if my memory is correct.
