98 trans am VS 01 Cobra

[lemons12]

a local kid was running his mouth about how he had the fastest car in town and this and that.... well word got back around to me pretty quickly.. i supposedly (according to him) had been "dodging" him for the past few weeks...

he had been trying to get me to run but couldnt get a hold of me... now in a bigger town i could understand this.. but EVERYONE knows me and my car in this town.. almost everyone has my number.. its easy to get in touch with me, ESPECIALLY about racing..

so.. i was driving by Krystals (food place) one day in the far left lane.. i just happened to glance over and see his cobra sitting there... a few seconds later i was parked next to it looking in at the boys he was with and them having their jaws dropped.. haha..

i went inside and asked him if he was ready to do it.. he agreed and got up.. i told him i could either run him on street tires, or my slicks.. he said he wanted everything i had and wanted me to run on slicks.. i went to the house to get them and he ended up calling and bitching that he was on street tires... SO! i said fine i will run on street tires also.. and let him know it wasnt going to matter..

i showed back up.. we talked the race over a little bit then rolled out..

race was 20mph-110mph.. well at least i hit 110... he probably i 70... hahahaha..
since i was on street tires and didnt want to blow the tires off, i 1/2-3/4 him till about 50 and then 3/4-full throttled him to about 65ish.. then was WOT until 110..

i apologize for the thread.. the girl was taking the vid on her phone..

MODS:

cobra- 01 bone stock with the wing, aftermarket hood, and 18s..

trans am- stock of course

[blue02Z]

i dont think he was racing, 01 cobras are nothing like a termi but they dont go down that easy. lol. good kill if he was

[BIG GUNS]

Yeah, didn't look like he even hit it. Even so, T/A ftw!!!

[hutch1999]

Sounds like your a big fish in a small pond, if your TA is all stock. Good kill, but be prepared to lose, I know I am.

[JoshieDoom]

Nice Race,but it looks like he didnt try, also did he almost hit that car that was comming right at him?!

[karpetcm]

Ive actually raced a few 01's and driven one on several occasions, it is fast but not as fast as the LS1 either way its not that slow looking at the vid, unless he is a horrible driver meaning doesnt know were the gas pedal is, did you talk to him afterwards about what happened. I wouldve rubbed it in his face even more though for not being a good driver and all that talking he did, he cant even drive. Either way you wouldve still beat him

[mogs01gt]

lol stock my ass! Sucker sounded like open headers.

he was racing, trust me..

depends on what your driving whether they go down that easy or not..

he hit it..

i think its the other way around... im not prepared to lose.. im prepared to win.. and of course im stock..

Nice Race,but it looks like he didnt try, also did he almost hit that car that was comming right at him?!

he was trying.. no i had 15-20 or so car lengths on him by that time and he scooted into the lane i was in..

i cant help that... guess he didnt know where the pedal was....... :)

lol stock my ass! Sucker sounded like open headers.
of course its stock...............

[SpecterGT260]

so he was in the suicide lane and ur calling this a decisive win even though a car passes within seconds of you punching it?

dude, try him again. i wouldnt even blame him if he starts running his mouth again. if hes pretty much stock you are going to waste him, but dont give him any ammo

[JoshieDoom]

LOL lemons is all stock.. his car weights 2000lbs :)

[hutch1999]

i think its the other way around... im not prepared to lose.. im prepared to win.. and of course im stock..

lame. u lie about ur ride u make everyone look bad. end of story

[drummer52910]

Stock LS1s dont need slicks to hook up, simple as that.

[big hammer]

even if he was stock, he would still brutalize that cobra.

yes he was in the on coming lane..

yes i would call it a SLAUGHTER... when that car passed, i had about 20 car lengths on him... he had already scooted back over and was still WOT..

i would blame him if he started running his mouth, i Punished the shit out of him..

if we went from a dig.. and i let him spray me with a 200 shot and i went all motor with my slicks.. i would still make him look silly..

LOL lemons is all stock.. his car weights 2000lbs :)

yes i am!:)

and actually it weighs 2950 right now!:kick: im going this weekend to pick up my pinon.. and ordered my seats tonight...

11 second............. o yea.. it still says that... :Poke:

lame. u lie about ur ride u make everyone look bad. end of story

the kid i raced knew EXACTLY what i had.. i dont hide anything with my setup..

EVERYONE in my town knows EXACTLY what my car has..

i will tell you... then you can come get punished... how about that?

Stock LS1s dont need to slicks to hook up, simple as that.

your right... i should just leave street tires on... :spit:

even if he was stock, he would still brutalize that cobra.

yes.. this is true... woulda still walked him pretty good.. 8.4@84 stock.. :)

[BLKCLOUD]

Please tell me your car runs significantly faster than the 7.5/90 mph shown on LS1Tech.com?

[lemons12]

why no..................... :whistle:








does it look faster than 7.5@90?:dot:

[BLKCLOUD]

does it look faster than 7.5@90?:dot:

Not at all.

However, judging by how fast you pulled away, that Cobra looks waaaaayyyy slower than the 82-84-ish MPH that it should run in the 1/8th (assuming it is essentially stock).

I'd wouldn't crow too much over a video like that. A real race? Maybe.

BTW....7.5 @ 90 mph seems a bit slow for an A4 LS1 making 385 RWHP @ 3250 lbs raceweight on decent tire. Don't you think?

well it should look a lot faster than a 7.5@90.... :yup:

it is a stock 01 cobra.. aftermarket wing, hood, and TT rims....
compared to a car that traps 95+mph in the 1/8 on motor it should look dog slow..

man.. it was fun and games to me.. as you can see by this thread... and the thread on tech... i thought it was funny, before/during/after the race....
there are fast cars out there, faster than mine... but this one was not, not even close... i know what my car is capable of.. and i know what it runs..

yes that is slow.. i never once bragged about that, althought it didnt piss me off... i was actually expecting a 7.6-7.7 that night, so it turned out a decent night.... i know the reasons it didnt run the times i wanted that night... and i know what it runs now, thats all that matter..

if you would like to call my car out... go ahead and do it... no reason to beat around the bush..

[BLKCLOUD]

A set of ported heads gonna make it that much faster? How fast is it now? Been to the track since the 7.5?

Thought you were selling it and buying a 350Z?

And I can't call anybody out....would be rather silly at the moment (and sure wouldn't drive to Tenn to do it).

[JoshieDoom]

Shit ill race ya this march is you come up here. I know ill get my ass kicked but oh well :)

THIS IS A CALL OUT

Already posted the times in the drag racing section.

no, just a set of ported Ls6s isnt going to make it that much faster.... im glad you know everything i have done since my last track visit.. hahahaha.. what has it been... 6 months since i ran that?

havnt been to the track since the 7.5..

decided to hold onto it, i would kick myself in the ass if i sold it..

i wasnt saying race wise, i was saying my car wont perform like i am saying it will...

i will be making a trip to the track at the end of Feb. (when it opens)... i will make sure to get a vid of my car just for you..

Shit ill race ya this march is you come up here. I know ill get my ass kicked but oh well :)

[JoshieDoom]

Yeah test and tune would be great. Its this march. I should have a few mods by then.

[BLKCLOUD]

Beech Bend is my all-time favorite track. LOTS of good racing memories there.... :D

i felt bad for him for about .000000000000000000001 of a second... :hyper:

thanks man..

[Speed_kills_WS6]

I'm not hatin, but the video didn't impress me. Looked like the mustang was just cruisin. Maybe its just the video. However, nice kill. Tell the kid to do somethin with that f-ed up wing.:suicide:

did you watch until we kicked it???? it very noticeable when i kicked it, lol..


reason it looks as he was just cruising....

he has 285rwhp... i have over 400rwhp...
he weighs 3600lbs... i weigh 3200lbs...

it should look like he was cruising.. lmao......

i can get you videos of me racing more people if you would like.. i will put my tires on and it will look worse than that one did.. that race for me was for shits and giggles and to get the kid to shut his mouth up...

if you would like i will race him again with my slicks on.. 0-100mph...

i will give him X number of lengths.. and the hit... that way there is NO question if he was racing or not...

how many lengths do you want him to have?

[Speed_kills_WS6]

I see... Guess that makes a lot of sense. Don't make him kill himself despite me. I believe you gave him plenty to already think about, lol.

[Speed_kills_WS6]

Where do you guys race in Tenessee and when? I'd like to make a trip to check out the action and try out a different track.

[lemons12]

I see... Guess that makes a lot of sense. Don't make him kill himself despite me. I believe you gave him plenty to already think about, lol.

haha... it wouldnt have been a biggie.. i have been wanting to launch my car on the street with slicks anyways...

yea, he said he decided he didnt want to run me again.. he was *pretty sure* he would still get beat, even with traction control off... :lol:

Where do you guys race in Tenessee and when? I'd like to make a trip to check out the action and try out a different track.

we do all our street races local... most are in tullahoma TN... its near manchester...

when we go to the track... we go to Huntsville AL.. its only like 45 minutes away..

let me know if you really are coming, we will be sure to set something up!

Actually, a stock '01 Cobra weighs about 3,450 lbs., not 3,600 lbs.

[Superluminal]

I've raced a lot of cars and have been racing along time. That definately looked like he wasn't on it. I mean, you would pull away, but not that hard. Apparently, the Mustang driver got all his petals confused.

i know for real.. you would think that a bone stock 01 cobra would stick with a full bolt on H/C stalled ls1 thats half stripped huh.... :werd:

Just to make everyone happy Lemons won't you go find that guy and do it again. This time 3 honks so there is no confusion.

Of course, the outcome will most likely be the same.

yes i will.. im sure he will be up for it..

i will race him any way you guys want to see it...

he can have 10... 20..... whatever lengths and the hit.. we can have a flagger.. roll race, dig race... whatever..

like C97 said, its not going to be much different...
and actually it will probably be worse.. i had about 150lbs of weight in car parts in the back of my car.. and on street tires.. i will be on slicks if it goes down again..

just out of curiosity... what kind of cars did you race...

have you ever raced a 10 second car trapping 120+mph against a 13-14 second car trapping 100...

if not.... thats what it looks like...

and of course he doesnt know where his gas pedal is... who does?

what the hell is wrong with you people... i have a stripped and built drag car... racing a stock street full weight car.... seriously.......?????

I was under the assumption your car was stockish... didn't read the whole thread and I watched the video without sound. My fault. Good kill.

I remember racing a 13 second CRX, I waited about a second after he left to get the launch right. Let's just say.... I have an awesome tractor beam.

i will tell you... then you can come get punished... how about that?





when i said u make people look bad, i meant this site. u claimed on here ur car was stock until someone dug up your tech profile. no biggie, just lame IMO. I dont particularly need punished either. just saying thats pretty dumb

i just thought it would be funny man.. most people on here know how i am.. :lmao:

as far as people thinking my car is stock.. most people know my car isnt... at least the regulars do.. and thats who i was shooting to get a laugh from..

i use the same name on all the sites... so i was sure someone would put it together, and if you could post sigs on a regular basis on here.. people would know i wasnt a stock car..

everyone needs Punished at least once.. :)

i thought it was was funny.. not dumb, im sure a few others got a little grin out of it also..
