[Musclefan21]

dood dat wuz kool :D

Thank you sir:D

I am going to track again on 28th (sunday) but i think my clutch is slipping or i am so paranoyed. I hope the clutch will hold so u can run similar or faster and sure Ii hope i won't break anything.

Wish me luck guys. it will be high 40s, any guess on what i will run? (around 20* cooler air.

[Roastem]

don't be hatin'

Take a look at my time hater. I trapped faster than you with no power adder or slicks. (1/8 mile)

I ran 8.3 @ 97.4 with street tires, without good traction till third gear. You damn 03 boys, I don't know why you guys think you have the end all be all in the pony wars.

Like I said, my Z will handle your 03.

That said, your modded 03 runs quick. (as it should) But my modded LS1 runs quicker. And mine is paid for, and yours isn't.

Now I just got to figure out what to do with that extra 15K I will have laying around after I put your 03 in the rear view.

dude I am not hater. i have never said anything bad to you or your car or any other f-bodies who is running good times.

there are certain things. I ran one of the most respectable time out of a "PULLIED ONLY" cobra. people with the same set ups still running 12s and some in high 11s and i ran low 11s. thats the point. I guess you didn't relaize that part.

I could careless if your LS1 traps or runs faster than me. I only spent 1k in the mods and guess what, i dont have to touch my motor and run 9s.

please don't bring LS1 vs. cobras. totally different 2 animals if you ask me! both have its own goods and bads!

you need to learn to respec. I don't own a rice, I own a cobra.

[djvaly]

before this gets outta hand. let's not turn this thread into something else...
so race what u brought and I hope you brought enough... who cares who's dropped more money into their car. I can make a tin box do 9s with $2000 bucks (just a silly example) but... both platforms LSx and SVT are great.

[Mr. Luos]

I ran 8.3 @ 97.4 with street tires
I would really like to see that slip. :yup:

[djvaly]

97mph is very high, that time should be more like 7.0, even high 6s

[Mr. Luos]

Not so concerned about the ET as the trap speed.

400RWHP isn't enough to get going 97MPH in the 1/8. Of course...spinning gives you more time to get going faster.
I make roughly 430-440RWHP at altitude and trap 91MPH in the 1/8 mile.

[djvaly]

480rwhp me at 500 ft altitude, 93mph... I agree with you Luos.

[tigersport14]

i trapped 82 in my stock t/a... it was intense

you want the video of my 11.3 run???

Not that I even care but Im pretty sure youre just throwing numbers around. You are trying to say you ran 97.4 mph with a 2.0+ 60' (no traction) ?? Is that what youre saying? With only 404rwhp? I had 420-430rwhp never dynoed after the last cam TSP 239/600 and I had a 1.77 60' and still only ran 93 mph at the 1/8 and went 11.40 @121. That was a strong run for a DD with only 420rwhp on DR's. :look:

You ran faster than that with LESS POWER and LESS TRACTION......??

[JayplaySS2]

Id have to see a slip to believe Roastem. Power and times dont add up with no traction "until 3rd".

My SS had good traction after 2nd all the time with 275 Falken streets.


On a side note, good run man. :zoom:

[JayplaySS2]

Since we need another direction, check out these guys running from the cops. The guys in the 2nd vid have HUGE BALLS to do that sheet. :devil:

[QUOTE=Roastem;271111]


Man you need to get some tires on your car and get that 60ft down.. Our 1/8 isn't that far apart I'm JUST 4/10ths faster @ 8.0 @ 86.22 mph with a 1.74 60 ft. If you are running 94 mph in the 1/8 mile and you can get your 60ft down to say 1.6-1.7 then in the 1/4 you would in the low-mid 11's @ some where around 122-123 mph..

[Roastem]

HO hum, I have just been BS'd my a couple of cobra drifters. Then the LS1 guys come right behind and second them, that is just depressing. :brick: I don't have the slip, can't post it. But it ran back to back 97.4 traps. The best was the 8.3, the other was a high 8 or low 9 b/c I had to back out of it in second.

I ain't bullshitter boys, that is what the trap speed said. Back to back, EXACT. I was happy, even if you cobra guys aren't. Hell, it trapped 89 with full weight, cam, gears, and full boltons.

But talk is cheap. My clutch has finally started to slip under full power applications. Time to get a new one. But I will tell you 03 turdburglars this, when I get the new clutch in it, I am going to Rockingham dragway to get a time on her in the 1/4, and hopefully the 03 boys will represent. I don't know if I want a piece of a KB cobra without a power adder of some sort on the LS1, but I can handle a Eaton supercharged one without NOS easily.

doodad, respect is earned. You put my car in the rear view with yours, and that is the best way to earn it. That said, this is internet racing, and is thus BS by nature. And no, I don't expect to set up some kind of stupid race where one has to drive 4 hours or some garbage. No thanks, I am sure I can find some 03 competition in the area, already have.

My car barely resembles its factory form, so why throw stock specs at me, run what you brung. A good shadetree mechanic can make anything fast.

doodad, do you remember the first post in this thread? It was mainly about respect for Cobra's and identifying threats. Kind of silly for you to assume I was dissing the 03 dontcha think? :thinkin:

[djvaly]

ok... if you say so... I believe in a time slip just me...

[Roastem]

I need slicks. I tried using trackbite, but it only hooked up to the top of first with a granny launch, and shredded 'em through second.

I have a good feeling it will put down a low 7 with drags, and a perfect run. In the 1/4 prolly around low 11's at around the 125 range. Fast enough for a street car IMO.

Sure KB guys can slap 650 to the ground, (and break the bank doing it), and put down a mid 10 at an unreal 134 something mph. They are faster than me, and I am proud to say it! Long live American muscle. I don't really want to run 10's, that sounds like a real dangerous street car. I will be happy with my low 11, 26 mpg, 120+ mph trap, and PAID FOR street rod.

[Roastem]

ok... if you say so... I believe in a time slip just me...

haha, you don't think someone can doctor a time slip?

The best thing to do is to meet them at a local dragstrip and show them firsthand.

Anyway, there is a mustang guy here who I am gonna meet at Rockingham sometime for a grudgematch. Mach1Mustang. He has a procharged Mach1. I guess we are gonna touch em up after I get the new clutch installed.

He might have a video camera, he might not. I will be sure to get some "slips" while I am there. But I think his word would carry more weight.

[Musclefan21]

haha, you don't think someone can doctor a time slip?



experienced speaking! :lol:

please tell me you are calling BS to my 11.3 run so i can OWN you by giving you a link where a good 7-8 hardcore dragracers watching me going down to 1/4 mile from a local board.

anyway man, I won't get in an arguement with you. even if your car runs 9s, at the end, you are still gay!

[richard head]

I ran a termy tonight. Red lighted, spun, then he took off (bracket racing) and we ended up starting relatively even. I was off the throttle, but he pulled up right behind me and i floored it again and took off - downshifted into 1st. He pulled about 2 cars on me before I realized it was a lost cause and time to go home... I was unimpressed. He showed me a dyno before the race where he made 480 hp too, on a pulley, intake headers... nothing more than bolt-ons!

And the mods are on your side? What a sad state this website has become. It is no longer for pro-chevy, LS1 guys, but backs ford loving, immature, and wholly unpleasant individuals who would just as soon shat on an LS1 than own it.

Please, continue your LS1 bashing ford guys. It is well disguised, but bashing none the less.

Thanks for ruining MY THREAD by the way doodad, I will repay the favor. For a guy who looks like he is 120 lbs soaking wet, you sure have a big mouth.

OH yeah, and a big fat BS to your 11.3 run, and your doctored time slip. What did you do, find a bag of slips at the dragstrip, dig through them till you found the one you wanted to post as your own? POSER :true:

[Roastem]

Simply hard to believe your 97MPH trap.

OK it didn't run anything. I have never been to a race track ever. I always lie about everything. I don't even own an LS1. That is my grandmothers modded Z28. I wouldn't race a car if I had to. I don't know how to drive a stick.

03 Cobras are gods gift to mankind. Fords are awesome. I wish I could own one. doodad and jayplay are the best guys ever, would only speak the truth. Their cobras are so fast, LS1's could only dream of such power. With minimal mods too. Wow they are great, aren't they?

Why would anyone bother to get an LS1, they are inferior in every aspect to the awe-inspiring TERMINATOR. :notworthy:

Now if you will excuse me, I think I am gonna be sick... :barfonu:

[Mr. Luos]

I think you seriously misunderstood me.
I am not on either side. I own an LSx Trans Am.
But nothing wrong with the Cobra. Good power made with little $$.

As a guy that races, I have trouble believing a 400RWHP car got to 97MPH in the 1/8 mile is all. Unless the car weighs 2700 pounds.

[Roastem]

I gutted it. The other guy I was racing had a red LS2 GTO, unknown mods, he trapped 93 mph.

Besides, it is power under the curve and not peak numbers, you know that.

[Mr. Luos]

I am well aware.
Just hard to believe without seeing proof. Not saying it didn't happen, just that it is hard to believe.
My car is full weight, about 3800 with me in it. 440 RWHP at altitude. Traps 91MPH here.
At sea level I make 530RWHP N/A with a solid powerband, and would probably only see 98-99MPH.
Gutted your car is about what...3200??

I agree. tell me the car is 2700lbs and he wins the argument. :ughlaugh:
anyhow if he really got 97mph at 400rwhp, he should be in the guinness book. :coffee:
subject closed Roastem... as it is actually hijacking the thread... thanks.

this is starting to get old.

next unwarranted comment gets warnings, bans, and whatever else i care to do.

Honestly, after putting the 12 bolt in it, I think it is gonna be slower. But I really need to go to a 1/4 mile track with slicks and get an accurate, updated time on the car.

And to the moderator, you can shut this thread down for all I care. It has become what I did not intend.

[Roastem]

Roastem just post a few easy pics of your gutted interior. Have you weighed the car? I see you dislike 03 Cobra drivers though just because we want more proof of your claims.

I have no proof, just my word. And it isn't good enough. And since I gotta put a clutch in it, I won't be able to prove anything for at least a month or two. So, I am gonna say we should drop the arguments and call it a day. Agreed?

Agreed.

What clutch are you going with? I have installed 2 Tex's (nice set up) but I see some guys having great results with the LS7 factory clutch and alluminum fw.

[Roastem]

I put the carpet back in for looks, but without the factory insulation it was real light anyway. I have taken the whole A/C system, and many other things out also. Almost too much to list, but I would say I have dropped about 300 lbs or so if I had to guesstimate.

I also threw the cargo flap back in so you couldn't see pewter from the cabin.

I also pulled all the rubber O seals from underneath the body. (you can see the openings from the first pic) That combined with taking all the sound deadening out =REAL FRICKIN LOUD.

[Roastem]

Agreed.

It has a RAM in it right now. I want to see if I can get just a new disc from them and see if I can save some cash, otherwise, I might look into the LS7 setup. Thank you for the advice.

Never before have I seen an uglier colony of bees.

Those pipes look antennae on an insect. I wouldn't know if they wanted to race or bite me.

[BLKCLOUD]

E-gads. Not defending or taking anyone's side....but with traction, 97 mph w/400 RWHP is not at all unheard of. My own car went 94.7 (http://members.cox.net/bobcosby/cobra/images/1143.jpg) in the 1/8th with 355 RWHP @ 3340 lbs. I'm relatively certain I could have gone 97 with another 45-ish rwhp, or if I dropped a couple hundred lbs.

Now....with really poor traction....the car would need to be pretty light to pick that much speed back up, given the same power.

[Redrum559]

i think roushes look way killer than the cobras but cobras are da one with the balls.

what's your setup? something you're not disclosing? stall, slicks, etc etc...
dyno numbers are not everything...

[BLKCLOUD]

Nothing special. Here's the dyno graph (http://members.cox.net/bobcosby/cobra/images/fsmotordyno1.jpg). Car was run on 275/50/15 BFG DRs. T5 tranny. Vid (http://media.putfile.com/nmra_race5_fs_final).

[djvaly]

let me guess, slicks and stripped out car...
I believe you... but even though you're not heavily modded you have done a lot of weight shaving and running slicks.

http://members.cox.net/bobcosby/cobra/images/mainpic1.jpg

[djvaly]

video is loading so slowly :lol: in the beginning it didn't load at all.

[BLKCLOUD]

My friend, those are 275/50/15 BFG Drag Radials (the exact same ones that were on the car for the picture that you posted....and even from the same race, Kansas City in June of 2004). They are required for the class I was racing in (cannot use slicks). Yes, I have removed weight from the car - though it was hardly stripped (for example, still had A/C, nice stereo, real seats, carpet, sound deadner, ABS, etc). The class minimum (for a 4V) was 3325 lbs. I weighed 3340 when I crossed the scales.

However, what I have or have not removed from my car is fairly irrelevant to the discussion at hand, as the person above stated that he had "gutted it" when referring to his. Given that I was using my car as an example to show that what he posted is possible (ie....97 mph 1/8th MPH w/400 RWHP), you should be able to make the connection.

As for the video loading slowly....that is well beyond my control, being that it is on www.putfile.com. Perhaps you should upgrade from a dial-up connection?

putfile is slow at times try youtube or other faster sites. I got a good line of DSL. :snowboard: your car is fast for what it dynos but I don't believe the 400rwhp story. no timeslip ;)

[BLKCLOUD]

I cannot comment one way or the other on the actual story itself, but I can say that it is possible to run 97 mph in the eighth with 400 RWHP (or even less), and that it has been done.

And cable is way better than DSL. :D

[01ws6er]

yea, bolt on a supercharger to an ls1 and what does it put out? Pretty nasty too!

[BLKCLOUD]

yea, bolt on a supercharger to an ls1 and what does it put out?
Pieces of hyperpathetic piston material - much like any other boosted engine with brittle, cast pistons...GM, Ford, or otherwise.

Pretty nasty too!
No doubt about that.

[Musclefan21]

today i went to track. i was expecting a cool nice air. and actually it was cool in the morning, but i broke 4 studs (yes 4 of them) when i was putting the slicks on and i had to drive on 3 studs each side 60 miles to find autostore to buy some studs and replace them. i went back to track around 2.30pm and it was already hot cuz i was sweating. and got my first run. I knew my clutch was gone but tried it again. as i was saying, i was gonna launch the car hard so i did 4500RPM launch and OMG, clutch slipped some bad, RPM gauge saw 6k RPM when i floored it and the car was barely moving. i only cut 1.75 60' and missed second and and 3rd. stupid clutch wouldn't let me get into gears at all. and I aborted the run. I right away went back to stating line to do a hot lap. the car was heatsoaked, I launched at 5500rpm and the ssame thing, clutch slipped bad and i only cut 1.72 60' and i shifted like i was cruising (your way of saying, granny shifting) and ran 11.6@115 mph. i can' believe I only trapped 115mph. this is the proof, when our cars are heatsoaked, they don't pull at all up top BECAUSE i trapped 98mph (new best 1/8 mile trap). I was so pissed cuz i went to track for new best and sucked with 11.6.

I knew it was gonna happen cuz the day befor ei raced my buddy's vette and missed gear 3 times in a row and i told the vette owner that there is noway i will run any good times tomorrow and it was true, i couldn't (FYI since i added clutch adjuster and quadrant, i never missed gear)

after the new clutch, i can almost guarantee 11.1 or 11.2 out of this pullied only cobra. (on a cool nice air)

just wanted to share.

:( the best car i have ever owned. PERIOD! she is going and i will drive my LT1 from now on and enjoy no monthly payments for a while. I am giving the car away cheap! runs absolutely perfect without a problem. I thought my clutch was going but then we figured out it was my clutch cable which got streched and it is taken care of now. Perfect car for somebody! hell, my car even comes with 5year / 75k miles ford motor co. powertrain warranty!

Someone said they raced an '00 Cobra. There were no '00 Cobra's, except for the '00 Cobra R. I am going to add this breakdown and I would appreciate everyone's opinion. Don't hesitate to disagree, or agree!

93 Cobra, only FOX-body COBRA, (COLLECTOR's ITEM)
93 Cobra R, only like 107 made (ULTRA-SUPER RARE)
94-95 Cobra's, slow pigs
95 Cobra R 5.8L 300 HP/365TQ (only 250 made, ULTRA-RARE, 13.8 1/4 mile)
96-98 Cobra's, 1st year DOHC, need gears and full bolt-ons to be NASTY
99 Cobra kinda NASTY
00 Cobra R, 5.4L DOHC 385HP/385TQ (only 300 made, ULTRA-RARE, REAL FUCK*N NASTY)
01 Cobra pretty NASTY
03-04 Cobra REAL FUCK*N NASTY
07 Shelby GT500 Cobra, promises to be REAL FUCK*N SUPER NASTY

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Anyone ever raced a Corvette against the Cobra?
Should be a no brainer right? although i've never driven either of them ;)

I've been wondering this for awhile... why does this post have 500+ replies?

Sounds a little like envy?

So why don't we start a post about the C6 Z06 -- Would we get 500+ replies, I didn't think so.. Stop putting the Cobra on a pedestal.

For the record - I like some model years of the Cobra -- but 500 posts is a bit obnoxious

Yes I agree! too much about the Cobra, It doesn't even have t-tops! No offense!

[Roastem]

Somebody, like yourself, brought it back from a 12 month hibernation. An argument ensued.

Now, the topic is being revisited for NO reason.

Won't this thread just die! :nite:

[mrr23]

well if everyone is in agreement to end this, then so be it. by the powers invested in me, by the state of LS1, i now pronounce this thread dead!! you may kiss your keyboard.
