In america maybe. I hate to bring the bad news but imports have plenty of 200+ horsepower cars. With the power to weight ratio that makes it plenty to be fun to drive. Its not even a new thing.

Toyota for example. There Japanese spec corolla used a 20valve motor. 3 intake 2 exhaust valve. DOHC making around 220-230HP also using vvt. No big deal right? This is in 1986. In what you may ask. The corolla. Its the 4age motor and its RWD with almost a perfect 50/50 weight ratio. Maybe not a speed demon but plenty fast without a turbo.

Fadi, I got them for $198 each. It's an easy fix for the weak C6 Z axles, but you can get them cryoed and make them even stronger.

I have to get a camera in my car so I can post some vids also. I'm just a slacker!! Later dude. Scott

Doug, with equal drivers you will take the Cobra. After multi runs with friends, it takes a Cobra with about 630+ RWHP to be a close run with me in the lower 500's RWHP. It should be a great run with you and Fadi. Scott

Doh! Sorry. At this point though, the components that you have upgraded effectively make it better anyway

Did you buy them from a local Checy dealer? If not, where did you get them at such a great price, or is that what they go for in general?

Thanks Scott..

I have a friend that owns a Chevy dealer and he sells me the stuff at cost + 5%. Saves me a few $ anyway. That way I can buy more cars!! Later Fadi.

No, they come with a wing similar to the 97-99 Turbo Eclipse wing. Not that monstrosity.

Really? Wow..a 630rwhp Cobra with a half-way decent setup will run
10.50's @ 135mph. Is that what you're running? Just curious. I don't put
it past a C6Z at all. They are insane.
