I've seen this video posted before and it was NEVER mentioned that the SS had spray and now all of the sudden, you're posting it up AGAIN but this time it has spray? Hell, you'd be able to hear the nitrous engage! Bullshit buddy.

I don't think you can generally "hear" nitrous engage...

Good vid. Good kill. Nitrous or not, it's a kill.

I'm not here to argue, but you can infact hear nitrous engage unless running a progressive controller. You can hear the surge in RPM's and you can hear the car get much louder.

As far as the video goes, its a great kill. I'm just not understanding why now all of the sudden the OP feels the need to claim that the f-body was spraying. I remember way back when this was posted. Hell, I even have it saved on my computer at home.

Maybe if you are standing behind the car and the nitrous is introduced after initial launch. MAYBE. Most nitrous systems installed and used properly are applied some other way than the typical F&F portrayal of a button on the dash...

No argument from me. We are all entitled to our opinions. Yours just sucks.

When you say h/c nitrous, that imply's that he was spraying. Should the title not read h/c/nitrous SS vs nitrous KB Cobra? If he wasn't spraying, don't imply it.

Good kill though!

Those navigator motors can take a hell of a lot apparently.

no slips with my Cobra.. the Saleen as you can see was at the track before. i took it there once. on 14 psi wastegate pressure it ran 10.3@ 141mph.. with a 1.69 60 ft. 6.8 in the 1/8 it picks up alot on the big end..

the car is stock suspention.. which needs tobe changed. i turned the boost to 18 psi on the last pass and blew the tires off. track prep was horrible.

here is 1 of the videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2BE_50LPo4
