IIRC, his new edge Cobra (99?) is a turbo car, not a blower. I've never heard of him driving it though. Kevin, just how neglected is that car? When was the last time you drove it? ...if you even still own it...

Wow, I got sucked into this thread thinking I was going to learn what happen to the guy with the bad transmission. LOL I'm a clown but I guess up a 5am reading 29 pages of this thread took its toll. Carry on fellas it was comical lol.

Would be sweet if it was NA and spun to the moon, then a shot of gas.

Right now it is taken apart. I want to start from scratch with it. I absolutely hate the Procharger after 7 years, not for me anymore. Plans are turbo/auto (among other things )

Funny but when I posted that pics of my interior it was found to be surprisingly good even by guys who are not into that look, if you are so interested in my ride better check it out. Want more pics for you and your butt friend to hate??

Oh, and please update your hate effort. This is how the interior actually looks now...

Sharp rides man (including your dd), looks like you took some time and put some pride in it. Few things I'd change but that's what individuality is for. Looks real good Only thing I really hate is when folks mess with the body styles of these cars such as wings etc lol. I have rims that I know most wouldn't pick first, but I like them and I'm the mother f***** payin'.

Any reason? If i was to go ford, i think i would want to stroke a mod motor, but the pushrod stuff is pretty cheap.

The constant whine is annoying and badass at the same time. Plus belt slippage breakage and rubbing sucks.

A n/a fast mod motor cost A LOT. Not to mention I have the touch at making pushrod Fords run good. I'm keeping it 331cid too.

12.5 on stock tires? Low 12s on DRs?

http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...rformance.html

No quicker than the Boss 302 on a tire?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT4VuzwZQ74

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLmXeUflf4I

Upstaged by the 662 HP, 631 LB-FT 2013 GT500, which also manages to get 5 MPG better?



The ZL1 is a MAJOR suck fest, like all things 5th gen.

I love my Corvette, my LS3 is pretty dope, but I can't wait to swap DOHC Ford V8 into it.

it's also touched 11's bone stock

ran 11.40's @120 mph with just slicks.

livernois already ran in the 9's @ 142 mph with the stock suspension, blower trans and diff.

it out handles the boss greatly. all this and it JUST came out. cant be all that bad.

new magazines have seen the ZL1 run a best of 12.1-12.2 @ 118-119 mph...and that is with them driving ...i'm sure someone here can do a much better job...as far as handling, well it stayed with a GTR on a track....i don't think you could go wrong with owning either a new 2013 gt500 or ZL1...both bad *** cars, but the boss 302 is downright ugly compared to the shelby and the camaro...
