blown away

**slimss** · 02-19-2010, 01:27 PM

well i was out yesterday in my 02 ss and lo and behold a white mustang pulls up and wants to race. thought for sure id blow this ford away. Wrong i was! i kept up with it till about 70. Then it just pulled away about 2 car lengths by the time i hit 100. Could not believe it. So we went again. same results. Finally got to talk with the guy. His car was a bone stock 2003 cobra. My camaro is also bone stock down to the paper air filter. I thought my ls 1 would be alot closer than that.The guy claims he smokes ls 2 gtos all the time also. lesson learned. Dont mess with those cobras unless you are heavily modded!

Nice death. Now you know about the Terimantors LOL. Nice cars, they are.

**67CamaroRSSS** · 02-19-2010, 02:37 PM

Yeah, a Termy will eat your lunch every time if you're stock. Somtimes even if you're not (depending on mods)...

Yepp the only year Ford did a decent job on a Rustang, that was affordable...

some GT owners would say its not a fair race cuz they just have a 4.6 and we got the big 5.7. The sc and dohc is what they GOT to have to even give a f-body a good run. without it , all they can do is whoop up on rice! just go check out the " kill stories" on a mustang forum

**slimss** · 02-21-2010, 08:18 AM

Yes the 2003 cobra is stock because thats exactly how it came from the factory. Too bad the only way ford could make those ugly little cars quick is by supercharging them.

that is stupid....the 2003 cobra came from the factor with those...so technically yes it is stock. a s/c for the maro however is not.

**seth_12** · 02-21-2010, 11:02 AM

ok yea and that's why i said its "technically" not but anyways yea its sad when a ford has to supercharge their car to get 390hp out it vs. a camaro which is naturally aspirated and comes with 350hp

No your not understanding...it is stock in EVERY way. The engine is only a 4.6...it isn't like it is a 5.7 s/c making 390....which is underratted by the way....how bought you ask ford about their new 5.0 and how much it is making....puts the 5.7 to shame..or maybe to be a little more new..sad when a 5.0 puts out more n/a than the 6.0 gm huh?

**shady milkman** · 02-21-2010, 11:21 AM

What is sad is that a lot of gm guys don't give the 4.6 or the terms the respect it deserves ...the two companies took two different paths to the same destination so the "needed s/c to compete" arguement is false and irrelievent

**seth_12** · 02-21-2010, 11:21 AM

ok i haven't heard anything about a new 5.0 and if gm was still making Trans ams I'm sure they will be pretty impressive

The 5th gens put out around the numbers of the new 5.0s...difference is there is a 1.3 liter difference....gm has realized that CI n/a can only go so far..especially in the gm ohv pushrod....that is why the new gm kings are slated or have F/I

**shady milkman** · 02-21-2010, 11:28 AM

Don't think I am ragging on you either...I am not..I used to say the same thing...but when u step back and look at it..ford is right back in it..and in many aspects has been doing things right

if they were still making t/a's they would be just like the new maro. trans ams have and almost have always been identical to the maros.

and to say that a termi is not ''technically stock due to s/c and dohc" is the funniest damn shit i have heard in a long while

**seth_12** · 02-21-2010, 01:19 PM

actually I'm pretty disappointed in the new camaro's but still waiting to see if they will come out with a Z28 and if its any better than the SS

put according to reports that 5.0 is coming pretty maxed out.......ive always been one of those guys to respect other cars regardless of make and have alot of friends with alot of nice mustangs and was considering getting a mustang myself as a dd......but when you look at it, the 5.7 has MUCH more potential than the new 5.0

**mbrownin** · 02-21-2010, 03:05 PM

Everyone puts WAY too much importance on this HP / liter bullshit. A more useful measurement is HP / lb. Sure the new 5.0L Ford makes almost the same as the 6.2L LS3 in the new SS, and with 1.2L less displacement. Who cares? Which motor is lighter?
