the more and more you talk, the more i start to realize that you do your racing from behind a computer desk and i question your knowledge about automobiles...my car is WELL over 320rwhp and i honestly dont know if id get into the twelves....so i dont know how you think 280-285 with 4.10's and d/r's are gonna throw you into the 12's...

 

i dunno mang already been to twelves off spray with less than 300 horse. you would be surprised what good seat time and a few good suspension mods will do for you

 

i am getting ready to put on a new suspension so maybe that will help me out...

 

i would swap to solid axle if u are serious about drag racing. but if not i would beef up that irs and put on some controll arms, disconnect your front sway bar get some good tires and that thing should have no problems bustin out a mid 12 second run

 

thanks for the advice

 

With all the stock 300-310rwhp F-bodies that are running 12s or SERIOUSLY close to it, if you can't run 12s with your Cobra, you need the driver mod. And trust me little buddy... I do NOT do my racing behind the computer desk. I have seen SN95s with as little as 260rwhp run 12s with good drag radials, some gears, and alot of seat time, and I saw them IN PERSON. Just because I question you having a 200rwhp V6 Mustang with exhaust (dynosheet?), don't get your panties in a wad.

 

And yes tspence, I do pay attention to what you type. I said that if you were running with the GT in the Z24, then he needs to be able to drive better. And you agreed. And then Kingsnake comes in and is STILL judging his opinion of the GT, on the crappy driver that he saw. Considering my old GS-R beat a '97 Cobra in the 1/8 mile at the TRACK 9.7 vs. 9.9), I know anything can happen.

 

the only stock ls1's that are close to 12's are the C5 Vette's...where are you getting theses crazy ideas from...the ls1 Camaro SS's are rated at 13.6 factory, the WS6 is rated 13.4, and the 2004 GTO's are rated 13.8...am i forgetting an LS1 of importance somewhere? please fill me in...and as for the driver mod...ive done more racing than youll ever dream about doing...as of now i must not be too bad of a driver if ive only lost to a s/c 6.0 GTO and an 11 second WS6...i dont think theres anythign wrong with my driving...and you still have not answered the question of what you have run 11's in

 

There have been more than a few people that have broken 12s in stock F-bodies. My friend ran a 12.99 @ 110mph with just a whisperlid in his '02 WS6. You call ME a benchracer, and then use 1/4 mile times that they are "rated" at? Don't make me laugh. And I made this username when I had my old '03 Suzuki SV650.

 

well since i do not own an ls1 all i can do is go from what i know...i just find it hard to deviate that far from from what they are rated at stock...i dont see how car rated 13.4 or so can run a half second faster than that...granted ls1's are nasty motors and when racing them youll never know whats gonna happen...but i guess well just agree to disagree

 

LS1's for the most part are low-mid 13 second cars stock, whether it's a Corvette, Z28, SS, Formula, Trans Am, WS6, Firehawk or GTO. There are some instances where you'll hear about stock LS1's running high 12's at the track. That is rare, but it has happened. They all dyno about the same at around 290-315 rwhp (depends if an 01/02 or M6/A4) and all run around the same 1/4 mile times. You got to keep in mind the driver. Not everybody drives equally. The ratings you see from magazines or whatever are just what they could muster out of the car. Every car is made differently, so you have factory freaks and factory duds. But on average, LS1's dyno 300 rwhp, stock, and run low 13's, stock. Just to let you know.

 

thats what i was trying to say that nearly all, except the C5, are in the 13's and i was being told the opposite and that they frequently run into the 12's which i just do not beleive...i know they are fast cars, just the do not consistently run in the 12's...and the ratings are just the numbers that i know or have read somewhere and have remembered

 

Like I said, on average, LS1's dyno 300 rwhp (Corvette, f-body, GTO), stock, and run low 13's (Corvette, f-body, GTO), stock. It is uncommon to see a stock LS1 in the 12's it has happened many times, but it's not common.

 

mustangs are always a fun kill, and suprisingly easy to reel in.

 

You weren't being told the opposite. I said I know of more than a few people that have done it. Still doesn't change the fact that you called me a magazine racer, and then quoted magazine 1/4 mile times

 

You have some things to learn. I know of a BONE STOCK SS that ran 12.85 at 113

 

Damn that's fast for bone stock. Did it atleast have DR's on it. Cuz if not then man that guy can drive and that's one hell of a factory freak he's got.

 

When my buddy ran his 12.99 @ 110 it was with a very-medioce 2.15 60' time. It was just 44 degrees outside, and a ridiculously low DA. That was the same night as I ran a 14.97 @ 93.82mph in my stock '94 Integra GS-R. Which is also the fastest time I have ever found for a stock GS-R, to the guy that questioned my track experience

 

no dr's, completely stock. M6, with a 2.0x 60'. Although he ran the block and it's an LS6 block, but I don't think that adds power or anything

 

thats because you are a BENCH RACER...you wanna sit there and throw numbers out about my pony...which i had run on a dyno and tell me that theres no way it could have done this or done that and throw out hp numbers and quarter times...but if i tell you the same thing you wanna sit there and cry about it...sorry to tell you that i do not need a magazine to give me my numbers...i go from what i know...
