I had an 04 pulley'd Cobra. It was fun on a roll. It would not hang with my Lark from a dig. Not even close.

Yea true. I had an '03 cobra with a 2.8L KB and the supporting mods. Definitely a fun car, but nothing to go bragging about. Especially now the platform is a decade old. You posted a video of the same **** terminators were doing 10 years ago. /golfclap you beat some equally old Chevys.

Video is fine, cars racing is cool no matter the age of the vehicle... But the thread title is just stirring the **** pot over a boring video. Like I said, I've seen terminators beating bolt-on LS1s this isn't breaking news.

He's not even a troll. He just says stupid things to get a rise out of people. Saying a modular block is a POS is just stupid. Many 03 Cobra blocks have been in 1,000rwhp area. I guess that's too slow for him and his 410rwhp.
Ironically, Hio probably runs faster times than most of those 1,000rwhp Cobras.

Just when I think he has reached a new high with something he says that is outlandish, he says something else that tops it.

Take a look at this 03/4 cobra bottom. Make sure to look at those wonderful little things you screw out to touch the block.....awesome eeyy You have blown one these wonderful modulars right?? Casting is poopy lookin too.

Then take a look at this stock bottom ls and tell me which one looks more robust to you. See how the mains are actually made to fit w/o little screw thingys.

Once again you are basing your opinion like it should be fact, when it has already been well documented that the mod motor block is incredibly strong.


Your logic and opinion are flawed.

Sweet-

Now having an 03 2.8 Cobra myself, and starting with a ported eaton solid axle swap, this was very impressive 5 years ago. Now when you trap north of 130, it's the norm-

This one just looks to be high problematic
