Re: 03 Cobra
Considering the thing cant launch for anything, not much.
when they see my tail lights fadin' fast. Oh..and that "pulley and catback" ain't going to help you. The last guy I raced had a '16'# pulley, custom chip, LT headers, Bassani(sp?) offroad X pipe, 3.5" flowmaster cat back and he still wasn't happy with the results of our race. I love it

Re: 03 Cobra
no problem..thats why I bought the ATI. now the 03 owners around here when they see my tail lights fadin' fast. Oh..and that "pulley and catback" ain't going to help you.

I'm about to have my PCM programmed for my Vortech pushing 9#s and my cam, I'm just curious and nobody on the LT1 boards can seem to give me too good of an answer.

I love it With a KB blower at only 11psi it's tailights for you sir. BTW, the eaton blower can't make 16psi of boost.

Re: 03 Cobra
We've been stomping these guys for years! Now that they start to beat us even a little bit we're all on the same team?! 
Just kidding! I agree that the stang is a nice car. I've beaten one that made 490rwhp at the track. But it came down to driver since my car has a H/C setup. I always give the stang owners who run me the thumbs up. I'm all for the war against rice! Who knows, if the F-body doesn't come back we all may end up driving stangs!

i love seeing unit own people with such respect. lmao 
This is retardid when it comes down to it the camaro is faster. Take an 02 Camaro SS stock runs high 12s low 13s. 03 Cobra supercharged mid 12s low 13s (Ive seen many at the track and the fastest yet was 12.9 most around 13.3). Now lets even things up....just give me a supercharger at 11psi boost around 600hp flywheel. Now Camaro stomps cobra when both are even with 1 power adder. Now for those of you that say a modded cobra will stomp any stock camaro, yes a modded 2003 cobra vs stock camaro! 2002 ZL1 Camaro the single most awsome musclecar ever. Factory states these cars have 600hp but on the power tour i witnessed a stock 02 zl1 with the all aluminum 427 lay down 770hp to the rear wheels. Youll need more than a pulley to beat that with a cobra you could juice the cobra still get raped. Wait all motor, the camaro is all motor lets add a blower....see where im goin. Then there is the ford boys hew wanna say oh well ill addd this that and the other and run 3s in tha 1/4 face it camaro has always been faster. Now im sure someone will say that a zl1 is $120000 for that i could do anything to my cobra and make it faster. Well if i took a new z28 in 02 for around 25000 and bought a blower say for 5gs 30000 total. Go buy your cobra in 03 for 35000 and lets race I paid 5gs less and would woop that cobra.

Nicely put Kevin. It's been a while since you have bowed up. durrettcustoms since you are being a ricer and all, you failed to mention the displacement argument.
You are not doing your ricer community proud.

I was going to mention the displacement thing... but didn't want to stoop down to making ricerish arguments like this guy. Comparing the 03 cobra's(stock) to LS1 f-bodys(stock) is comparing two cars FROM THE FACTORY... An LS1 f-body didnt come with a power adder from the factory, so you can't really compare a blown camaro to an 03 cobra... Apples and oranges... cars are similar in performance, but inside are totally different beasts...

look at my sig and with those bolt ons i am able to hang with 450rwhp cobras. a cobra would always be a top contender, but do weight reductions and a good set up on your camaro and believe me that the cobra will have a hard time passing you if it ever gets to that.

My buddy has a street driven Cobra with a KB blower, ported heads, and cams. He makes 700rwhp without nitrous. He recently took it to Dallas on a 4hr drive. Once he sprays he'll be over 800rwhp and be plenty streetable.
Funny how time changes things.
