While I was in there I asked Johnny Gray how much a cylinder head cost for his funny car, he told me he had no idea, but since he supports his sons Pro Stock car, he told me parts alone, a Pro Stock motor runs $85k. That's W/O LABOR!!!

The 4 wide nationals was fun

I've also been to the gator nationals and you really don't feel a difference between 4 and 2

Don't get butthurt. You asked for estimate, there's a damn estimate. If you don't want them, don't ask.
All that sand in your vagina is weighing you down.

2003 Cobra 2.8 Kenne Bell with supporting fuel mods, magnaflow x-pipe & cat back, 4.10's on a 28" e.t. street. Track elevation is 4400'. We are supposed to have cool weather so I am hoping that the DA is around 4500 or even lower if I get lucky. Any guesses?

Runs stock C6 times. Ftw.
It picks up like 25rwhp with a tune, but it is still a heavy pig now.

Its all about sales with GM

Look at their Fif Gen the homers can defend it all they want but it was a total flop performance wise, But it sold a bunch so they don't care what performance it has......Or lacks...

They used to care with the corvette, it was a top-performer. But now the new mustang may outperform it. Which would be hilarious.

These aere first test. Let people get some seat time. No reason it can't break into the 11's. I know a few stock C6's have.

As far as the new mustang out performing it I don't think so. We will see more constint lower times in the C7 then the mustang. Yes a GT500 will run away from a base c7 at the drag strip. With 200hp more it better. But the C7 is a handling monster.

Yes and no. Not when the C6 base was 3200. And a base 5.0 tips scales a hair under 3500.

Why does everyone compare the lil ole mustang to the Vette....

Camero v Moostang has always been the comparison now that the Camero is a turd The GM faithful want to compare the Vette
