Here's a Cobra ready for any LSX street driven car.
http://video.xspsi.com/video/ef20691...770170b36b.htm

Now it makes over 1000 rwhp. Still on the stock longblock.

10.0 @ 14X consistantly. We drove the car to Houston from Dallas, went 10.0 again and again, then drove it home.

The HPP Stroker motor is about to go in. HPP Heads, HPP Billet Cams, Oliver Billet Rods, HP/JE Stroker Pistons, etc etc.

Wow cool your jets there tiger, I guess the fact that I was joking went right over your roid raged head. Im so glad that you drove a car from Houston to Dallas, I did that once. It was a 99 Z71 if I recall correctly...
Oh yea and as long as we are throwing pointless videos around look here a Supra that makes 1520whp! http://videos.streetfire.net/video/3...98AA6E11BD.htm

Oh and for your dumbass list lets see here:
1. Come on now lets try and be a little original with our insults.
2. Yes of course it must be slow, look im in the 15 second club!
3. Look to answer #1......
4. Hmm... cause im pretty sure your almighty Cobra came with IRS....
5. Did you graduate from high school?
6. I guess not...
Why dont you take this weak *** list over to SVTperformance where all the special kids can get a good laugh?

He's right. 900rwhp should definitely be past the 10's. Maybe a traction or setup issue?

damn bet me to it....no slicks just drag radials,a dn on the IRS....pretty impressive to me considerating its still has the stock longblock w/ just turbo's. I'm pretty sure if they wanted to take some weight of and a solid they will be well in to low 9's

yeah 3900lbs and a 6spd with 17" wheels is def. an accomplishment considering there are MAYBE one or two LS1s that make that power (we aren't talking about n2o cars) that could make a trip down and race and make another 4hr drive home. Further more there isn't an LS1 in this country that could do that kind of times on a 17" street tire (6spd car). The truth hurts.. I know.. Honestly if it was an automatic car I'd say turd..
