I would respect you if you were honest about spraying but you act like a 12yr old kid.

There's plenty of a shitstorm here already and I don't wanna add to it, but I kinda have to...

After reading through 5 pages... I cannot see any 776whp Cobra being that close to any F-body under 500hp from a roll... If that car truly makes 776, it just doesn't look close to it. Indeed, from the video, it looks to me more like a 500hp car and THAT, I can see a sub-450whp 4th gen running with, for sure.

My 502whp car ran better 125 on a shakedown... a 776hp car... should easily trap over 135, even at Cobra weight. I'm seriously on the side of the Cobra simply isn't close to that power in reality.

Hopefully there's more between 6 and 7 about the joke we're missing...

^^^ I think you're right on with that. Cobra probably doesn't make 776rwhp and who knows what the TA is putting down because we aren't sure on the mods, or if he's spraying.

FWIW, 01ramair (Jared) on here raced my buddy's 770hp cobra at the track in February. The cobra at full weight minus skinnies went 141mph slow shifting.

776rwhp Cobra is close to 140 traps and more so with weight reduction.

No, Fenix is full of **** and some of us know it. Doesn't mean butt hurt, just means some of us aren't gullible and foolish. LOTB loves to f*ck around and BS. He's purposely made himself into the queen of drama of SRK.

But he does continue to bring the action, so props to that. Just know a bucket of bullsh!t comes with it.

Could that be what he uses as street prep?

You are right though, he brings the action and the videos of it. I was being a real dick to him in other threads, but after thinking about it, I was wrong and won't bash on him anymore. He has a fast car, and whether or not he wants to divulge what mods he has is up to him.

Fenix is genius; by the way guys he has a whole thread on his build called "rising from the ashes" so for all of you trying to "figure him out," it's all in that thread. Yeah he's spraying, yeah he has trickflpw heads, he could have a 250 shot for all we know. Doesn't matter, his car is fast and for those too lazy to read up on his build thread... Well, let the butthurt flow like it has been

ive tried to stay out of this but the poop is piling up high....
OK, the cobra is full weight with a 300lb camera man i weigh 160. It does make the claimed power, no doubt. I was shifting very easy as to not break anything. So easy that it didnt go into 4th on the second run. Manny's car is no joke. Runs good. How else do you think it was so close?

Yup... that was indeed my point and I was being polite to not say 140... which is obvious to more than just me.

With that, we're talking about a 15mph advantage over just a 1/4 mile... but ROLLING FROM 60??? Holy "Which way did he go, BATMAN!"

How else would his car be so close???

Aigh't... Your 776hp Cobra SUCKS AT RACING!

There, I said it for everyone else.

Before you get all uppity... My car is a Mustang with a Ford small block...

Personally, I like his car and have said from the start, it WILL run... on the juice specifically. Still... He said this was a no juice run and that leaves him around 300 HORSEPOWER SHORT... You have no excuse for such a slow car, considering the hp you're claiming.

Next time, invest in GO PRO and let the fat man watch from the street corner... you can trust nobody's gonna come by and pick him up while he waits...

You can hate all you want to bud...
If you think that was off spray you are delusional sir.
And to be clear, THIS IS NOT MY CAR. I just get to drive it around some

If my 770rwhp car ran that close to a 420rwhp fbody I would quit cars altogether and take up knitting.
