I have been wanting a go with a stock 03 for the longest time... but it seems like none of you guys are stock anymore! hehehehe...
I would be careful challenging Dan to a race with those numbers. I think he would spank your *** pretty bad right now. With the 383 it might be a different story.

If he's stock it could be good. You saying he isn't stock?

If you stick around for a while you will find out which cars are faster than others.

Dammit... why can't I find a stock 03 to line up with?

I'm not a ******** or anything, I just want a friendly run to see how I compare with a stock 03... it isn't for bragging rights or anything, I just want to see how I matchup.

Take a look at what you just said here ... then just make sure you don't race for money, and you leave your pride at home. While I'm playing 'advice man,' I would also suggest wondering around and getting to know people before you start making challenges.

Welcome to the board and welcome to humility. There are several here (if not most) that can handle that while drinking their morning coffee.

Thanks for the welcome. Actually I have been here for quite a while with a different name, I know there are a lot of crazy cars on this board.

I don't know why people are getting defensive or argumentative... I want to go with a stock 03 Cobra, that's all. I didn't challenge you or anyone else who doesn't have a stock 03 Cobra.

If you don't have a stock 03 or 04 Cobra, you shouldn't really give a **** who I challenge, since I am not challenging you.

I'll run ya just for fun...no bragging rights or anything...just so you can see where you're at.

Have you ever seen The Shawshank Redemption? There was a quote in that movie stating something along the lines of "Didn't you know that we are all innocent in here (jail)." We are all stock here, just like the guys in prison were all innocent.

to put you where dan is at, we could almost double your rwhp output, and you would have even RWHP

By the way, I didn't post my HP and TQ numbers to be cocky or to brag... I am full aware of how crazy some of the rides are on here. I only posted it because I thought that vs. a Cobra would be a pretty fair match.

To be a match for a stock Cobra, one should be trapping in the low teens, or at the very least passed 110. But, you may have a shot from a dig vs. a regularly (not stellarly) driven stocker.

Your numbes are enough to beat a stock Cobra as long as you have traction.

This thread is a hoot! Thanks, guys for the repartee (oops, too big a word?), it's refreshing!

I guess I'm the odd man out: 1) old guy, 2) '01 13 sec 3800 GTP daily driver, 3) forged 383 HC LS1 going into the GTP now (FWD!), 4) STS turbo on the drawing board for Feb-Mar 05. Yes, I am a wild and a crazy guy! Naturally, ah'm from Texas! Looking forward to meeting some of you guys soon! LOL!

See, I like both the GTP and the LS1. I can't be all bad, even if I am from Texas!
