Nice kill. Really doen't make sense to me how that happened, but like they say anything can happen on the street. I've driven 3 different Terminators with just a CAI and catback, definitely a faster highway car than a typical bolt on LS1 F body.

I've seen anywhere from 12.4 to 11.8 depending on track, drive etc. I saw ONE run 11.21 with gears, locker rear (same as a spool) and slicks. He was making about 477 RWHP with pulley, tune, CAI, catback.

Damn, I had a feeling in the back of my mind that SupaLS1/Cobra mod would chime in.
I'm sure the pullied guys that can drive probably get my trap speed at the 1/8 (this will change in a few weeks though ) . But still, for the most part you're right about eating cheese burgers and ****. They're delicious.

Yeah, that takes a tremendous amount of skill. Great job.

I don't need a PhD at driving to say when someone sucks at it. That's why I chose an auto, where as a lot of the Cobra drivers I see at the track with manual trannies still suck at driving it.

Nothing really to say here...gotta agree with quite a bit of it.
There definitely are far too many people in this world that can't
drive to save their life. They drive all types of vehicles though.

Nice Kill OP.

His guesstimate of 405 sounds right if he has a tune to go with that CAI. CAI with tunes net a good 25RWHP on teh Termies, and toss on a Catback for a good 10-15 with a 370 base....you're looking at around 405. But again, that's with a tune. WIthout one, who knows? (unless he strapped it for some pulls...LOL)

I had the led the hole time but it was close! HE Says he will be doing pulley In
the next several weeks! then he will be at 450 at the wheels. I now when he does that he will kick my ***!

Im telling you there is no way a 03/04 cobra with ONLY a catback and a CAI is going to have 405 rwhp.

Um....my catback and canned tune car put down 393rwhp. I don't see how that and a CAI with a good tune can't put down 12 more rwhp.
