I then stand corrected. My apologies gentlemen. But only if it is a not a place where people go to hook'em up. As stated it is a local thing of which I have no idea about. So I will STFU. Also I might be heading to the Ft.Wayne area soon. I hope I can do better there than in Littlerock. I will be driving of course.

I gotta agree with the cobra guys...if they dont want to street race and have made that clear multiple times then why keep being an *** and challenging them? I mean if they are talking **** thats one thing, but if they are just hanging out why keep harrassing them? Hell they even offered you to hang out and go to the track with them, so why not just race them there? I dont know the whole story but from the looks of it you ragging on these guys for not wanting to go out and race illegally on the streets, which is their preference. Sure most people will race on the streets, even i do it time to time, but if I come across a group of car people and ask them if they want to run and they say no im not gonna keep bothering them as long as they havent been talking ****. On another note though Cunfuzed you get that 12-bolt yet? I know you got the built t-56 as trade for your old 12-bolt but you upgrade yet and have you got any dyno numbers yet on the 200 pill?

I now have the $$$ for the rear. Now my problem is the F'n clutch. I thought I had the end all for clutches....................sad to say as of last weekend I was wrong. So now I am thinking auto . I hate to do it. 684rwhp on the 200 shot 502 na. The tranny is a badass but I think I might sell it now.

Its a 2004 cobra and its makes around 502 hp to the wheels. I have to say im extremely happy with the car. I had an Fbody before the cobra and while it was my dream car and I liked it, it doesnt compare with the cobra for an all around package.

Its always fun to say I drove it to the track, ran 10's, then drove it home. Its never fun to say drove it to the track, broke it, walked home.

I havent had time to read every post, but i got as far as the cobra engines making so much power on half the cubes or whatever. have we forgotten it is blown?? obviously a blown car can easily make more horse power stock vs a na stock.

Because in the land of make believe all Cobras are slower than the Generals products.

SDB,
My daughter liked your fairy tale so much, Im going to read it to her again tonight, fiction can be fun.

for the record I got 480RWHP with bolt ons and a 2.76 upper pulley only. 480RW isnt a KB cobra 99.9% of those cars on a 3.5" pulley are making well over 500RW.

Tom,

Is your daughter hot???? Does she have small little hands??? I like small little hands...makes my dick look bigger!

For the record, I didn't continually harass the poor little ol Cobra owners, just asked them. I am so sorry that the local spot we have is for car racing, not a car show. Sorry for thinking that street racing is fun. I will get some video of this spot and the cars and myself asking (politely) to race a variety of cars and hopefully even a race or two...just to set things straight.

I would not comment about anybody's daughter. That **** can get you killed especially in this day and age. About the meet up spot, I don't see the problem with trying to get a race with the horsies if they are setup to drag. I would not keep asking in an annoying kind of way unless they are talking crap (literally crap) all of the time. If they are just there to hang, then it is what it is. Just leave them to hang and show their slips. I wish I had a 500+ dyno sheet (in the making as we speak ).
