I know i cant in all likely hood beat an 03 cobra from a roll but at the strip ive raced two non pullied cobras abd beat both, albeat one had major traction issues and the other couldnt drive...but still in the 1/8 mile i could still beat one....and from a roll in my bolt on/geared/tuned Formula(3550RW) i could stay withing 1-2 cars of an average driver in a termy....and maybe even edge one out up until 100 from a slow roll

I've always heard the 99 Cobras were the worst year. Something about none of them making power. I know mine has a terrible problem with making power!

Just the 03-04's because of the more weight mostly due to the rear independent suspension, and even that can be removed.
The new GT500's do have some trouble backing up thier numbers at the track, and you have to admit the price for performance isn't the best.

Im not picking on Cobra's, I'm a big fan and I've always wanted an 03-04 Cobra.
A college friend of mine had one in this dark grsy color and Im no fan of dark grays but this baby looked nice.
But when people who own these cars talk like they are the greatest thing on earth and nothing can touch them, it tends to get annoying.
Its also annoying when they shun my old LT1.

And as far as my car's times, its much faster then you think its not

Bob Cosby

So how fast is that? Looking at the mods you list on your page....

Exterior Modifications:
-Lund Turn Signal Blackouts (no power here)
-Lund Tail Light Blackouts (here either)
-Square Polished Aluminum Exhaust Tips (ditto)
-VFN Sunoco Hood (x4 - perhaps a bit of weight loss?)
-17X9.5 GM ZR1's wrapped in 275/40 Falken 452's (oops - gained the weight back)

Interior Modifications:
N/A

Performance:
-Moroso Cold Air Intake (ah...theres a couple of ponies)
-Ceramic Coated Polished Aluminum Trick Flow Elbow (the bling of the bunch)
-SLP Loudmouth (makes more noise)

Suspension/Chassis:
-1LE Springs (not much 1/4 mile gain here)
-New DeCarbon Shocks (stock replacements?)


Drivetrain:
N/A

Electronics:
-Pioneer 7500MP (got boom boom!)
-New Infinity door speakers coming soon (got improved boom boom!)

....I don't see much to get real excited about, performance wise. Have you ever taken this car to the track?

My guess is a solid 13.9 car. Gotta agree that it looks good, though.

I like how you say the intake, elbow and catback do nothing for performance when GM Performance mag put a Thunder Racing package on a 94 Formula (K&N Intake, airfoil and Magnaflow Catback) and got 18 more rwhp and went from 14.1's to 13.8's.
Just noise

And my car ran a 13.89 @ 99 with only a K&N Filter, new 245/50 Goodyear GTII's and Mobil 1 when I first got it.

Nice way to brake down my car and quote my entire fquick, something I haven't updated since I made the account.
Very professional
I am very content with its performance and don't really give a **** to mod the crap out of it until I have my own place and I am on the downhill side of my college loans.
And btw, Ive owned an M6 LS1 car before.
But thanks for being a complete *****, putting down my car and trying to make me feel bad.
Its been 100% paid for since I got it, and when I feel like digging into the motor I will.
It just runs too good and I have too many other things to worry about then what some little internet raceboy thinks about my LT1, and how fast he "thinks" it is based on his shallow close-minded view.

And most of all, I could care less what some ******* named 'Bob Cosby' on LS1tech thinks.

88blackgt

damn you're good. and i guess everyone has to be professional on here now

your car is slow as nuts, guess you have tons of room to call 03/04s and gt500s slow. good call

burnzilla

iTrader: (3)

So, tell me, what do 88 GT's run stock? Low 15's?



And when did I call 03-04 Cobra's and GT 500's slow?
Don't put words into my mouth or twist things around because your behind is a little sore.
I said they are heavy. Which they are.
Don't wet a tissue over it.

unit213

You're out of your mind.

It sounds to me like you're the one who is a little sore.

You're really showing your *** on this one.

Irunelevens

I'm not trying to add fuel to the first, but haven't you called my car "slow" on a couple occasions? I'd say my car is more than capable of equaling or bettering your numbers. And my car has been 100% paid for since the day I got it too.

TORNATIC!!

Actually a well driven 01 Cobra can trap 105 stock I've seen it. The Mach 1's are defnitely quicker but from a roll it's close.

burnzilla

iTrader: (3)

Its very common for 290-310 rwhp LT1's to run low 13, high 12 second times.
You don't think thats enough to run with a stock 03-04 Cobra?


No I haven't called your car slow, I just think 2V GT's are slow in general. I've drove a 01' 5-Speed GT on a 3 hour trip, and I've rode in a 00 Auto.
Secondly, congrats on maybe beating my nearly stock 95 LT1 car with your 'numbers'.

Thirdly, congrats on paying her off.
And what are you even doing posting "not to add fuel to the fire" and come in here with "my numbers and you think my car is slow BS"?
What does that have to do with anything and where are you getting that from?

I don't know you and I certainly don't care about your bolt on 2V.

And as far as my comments toward bob cosby, its obvious I don't really care to talk **** or fan race my car with pretty much no mods. Some guy breaking down my pitiful fquick to try and prove a meanlingess point that my car isn't crazy fast means about as much to me as a news story about Rosie O-Donnel.

Ive rode in a 03 Cobra and I loved it but hearing people diss LT1's with 20K cars is really annoying especially considering power for dollar.

Bob Cosby

I'm sorry. And how much did it help YOUR car? What's that? You don't know?

Gosh darnit, and I guessed 13.9! How silly of me!

Thank you. You noticed the bold print, eh? Took at least 2 minutes to do that.

Don't blame you for not wanting to go farther into debt, but for having such limited experience with anything faster than a 13.89 pass, you sure do blab a lot.

And what happened to it?

Well golly Wally, I own a 99 Cobra, so I was just replying in kind. Neener neener neener.

And you can say whatever you want about my car - you won't make me feel bad. No kidding.

Cool.

Of course you do, and of course I am. As far as you know.

Really? Is that why you replied? Again?

Have a great day!

PS....who you voting for this year?

EDIT: Holy cow, how many times are you going to edit your post? You've added and subtracted more lines in the last 15 minutes than I've typed all day!

Bob Cosby

LOL. The old power-per-dollar arguement when comparing a 1995 car to a 2004 car. Gotta love it!

burnzilla

iTrader: (3)

For some reason I didn't feel compelled to track my car after such extensive mods

Im closer to mid 13's now, but you did guess my cars' stock 1/4 time however.
WOW! Youre good!

I don't have any experience with anything faster then a 13.89 pass?


Hey they run high 13's stock too!
Your car when stock, was as slow as mine.
Congrats!

No Im not a toolbag I don't finecomb the cars of people I never met and make stupid assumptions based on how fast thier car is, and more stupid assumptions about what cars they may have/have not rode in or drove.
I liked the Rosie O-Donnel comment, much better then the election comment.

88blackgt

my car isnt stock, i could care less what it runs stock

Bob Cosby

LOL. Ya'll have a nice evenin.

Reading comprehension is your friend.

GTO's and Cobra are fast cars overall, but slower then other cars with equal HP because they weigh a little more. There is nothing wrong with that, considering they both come loaded with features, options and IRS suspensions.

88blackgt

so i guess hondas, geo metros, and pintos are fast cars. if you give them the same power as something else, theyre most likely going to be faster. either way, it was implied that they were slow, whether it be "for the power they put down" or what.

Wow all of page 10 is worthless.

unit213

Agreed.

burnzilla-

Just fyi...Bob is (was )a factory stock NMRA champ with his '99 Cobra.
For what it is, that Cobra was a fast car and it takes a hell of a lot
of knowledge to win a NMRA race...let alone the entire series.

Sure, he's a pain in the *** sometimes...but he knows his ****.
