[QUOTE=03BlackSVT]Why did you sell the 04 Cobra SOOO much more potential than a LS1

yeah, so much more potential....
as we can all tell, this guy knows a lot about cars

03BlackSVT, mustang cobras are fast, we all know that, but they are not the be all and end all of "potential" and making power

Well then it seems that an LS1 and a modular 4.6 are both capable of 7s, so therefore they both have equal potential!!Right?? Sorry to be a dick to BackSVT but i disagree the way he prased his comment. The 03-04 Cobra motor is definitely easier to mod and squezze horsepower out of, but you can get the same amount out of an LS1, it may cost a little more and require a little more time but the POTENTIAL is just the same.

And LS1's are as long as you have money and a solid motor you can do what ever you want to it, to make it as fast as you want/need it, just depends on what you like i.e. Ricer motors, Pushrod motors, or Modular motors. But you always have to keep in mind, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE FASTER As far as me being a newbie, monkey boy, where did you learn how to use the quote/reply feature

You are correct sir! I didnt mean my comment to be taken too seriously, hence the i knew that it would stir up some do-do here at a LS1 board

A Z06 is my dream car, then throw on the one of the baddest blowers ever made and its just that much better. The last time i checked the Z06 was puttin out over 500 hp to the wheels with only around 5.5 lbs of boost

My 02 dynoed higher stock than some 98-99 cars that I've seen did with mods(lid, exhaust,etc.). Maybe they were out of tune who knows. It's hard to say until you guys line 'em up

it will be a neglible difference, and 01-02 not only have the LS6 intake, but they usually have better heads as well (i forget the casting number)
