ya know im just giving you **** so how does it feel to be back in the saddle again?

 

Great vid guys! Looked like a pretty even match. I knew that car had more in it from the last vid Dustin...it's amazing what a little more bottle pressure and 50 more rwhp will do. So has anyone raced older Hayes' gray '03 cobra since he went single turbo? That blue one seems pretty stout too from the specs...

 

I am on the stock block and put down 512rwhp with a stg 3 ported blower and a 2.8 pulley on 93 octane. He should be around 530-545rwhp with that setup.

 

I wish I could have seen it, I got lost on my way to mexico and ended up just going home. Another time I guess. Nice run Rob and Dustin.

 

Nice car Rob. Love those Evos

 

Come down my way man, lets make some video!

 

I'll meet you in Waco man. I should be able to make it out that way in a month or two if the Army sends me to Ft.Sill.

 

thanks for such a great vid rob you are the man! i think that is the race that the cobra missed a gear. we did a 2nd race and he hit all the gears but the outcome was pretty much the same... a few busses lol.
lots of fast street cars in oklahoma that is for sure!

 

Nice video, good race.

 

That is one sick evo

 

Dang that's a ton of boooooost! Still gotta love the LSx power! Those cars are the 5% on the road that would give us trouble.

 

Who ever said 5,000 to make that evo so fast is tripping hard. I use to have an evo and modifying those things is expensive.

Based on the movie at minimum that car had...

AMS GT37R kit - 5000

AEM EMS -2500 plus like 1000 or more for tunning probably a lot more because it's a E-85 tune.

2.3 stroker block - 4500 not including labor which is a crap load because the engine bay is crammed

AMS Race Heads and I believe it was HKS 280 cams? - 2500

Built tranny and transfer case - 3000

Clutch that can hadle that power exedy tripple plate - 2500

1000cc injectors - 600

exhaust - 1000

and lots of misc stuff at least another few thousand.

That's $22,600 just in parts and that's being conservative. Because honestly their are more parts that are needed and labor for an evo is EXPENSIVE!!

and it runs high 9's probably at best.

That's pretty much why I dont own an evo anymore way too expensive.

But honestly props to you Rob because that is one fast car. I just wouldn't want to spend that much.

 

$22k to have a semi-reliable 9s car is NOTHING... you're out of your mind to think a modern car can be made that fast for significantly less (minus a GT500). Speed isn't cheap, no matter what you drive.

 

Minus a GT500? Those things are slugs!LOL It would take allot more money to get one of those going fast!

 

you're kidding right

they respond amazingly well to minimal mods

 

Ummmmmmmmmm......................No.

 

Actually, they respond better than '03 Cobras to mods...true story.
It's very easy to get a GT500 to run 11.0 @ 130mph without a twin screw
blower or nitrous.

 

I guess no one in Oklahoma can drive the damn things then.LOL I have yet to see one hit 11 anything. The guy I know put a good driver ion his after spending a ton of $$$ and got a 12.0 @115. The car was trapping 118ish.

 

I hear ya. There are a lot of morons in this world!

I'm not a big fan of the GT500 for a lot of reasons, but the fact
of the matter is that they can be made to run relatively quick fairly
easily...just bolt ons, ported blower, pulley swap, etc.

We both know that people out there will claim 600rwhp because they
make that on a dyno...once. That's probably on the stock clutch, with
stock tires, a fuel system that's on it's last leg, etc. Then they hit
the track and tell everyone they make 600rwhp and they run a 12.0.
Setup is what counts.

 

So true. I guess I shouldn't rag'em to much. I have a bagillion HP and am no where near my capacity at the track.
