I had to get rid of my 2000 Dakota R/T (yes a low 14 second R/T) cause my wife said "I would race a bread truck if it pulled up next to me at a red light"



Now I must show "control" grasshopper

BWAAHAHAHAHA!!! Dude the is down!

I thinkallofus atone time or another have had a little fun playing with someone else we knew was out of our league. Even tho we know going in we're gonna get our butt whipped, its still fun to see how we fare...and maybe (like this time) we gain some mutual respect. Its like the old saying goes, "I dont wanna fugg with him, I just wanna dance!"

Dude your name in "Jizz" that is awesome!!!

[holds back comment]

We have this one road (91 Street) here on the southside of Edmonton, and that seems to be the only place that I've found that people want to race me!

It's a nice open divided road that's got a 70 km/h (50 mph??)

I've had a Mustang that I beat pretty easily, must've been a V6, a Sentra SE-R Spec V (he got spanked), even a BLAZER!!! Not a Trailblazer, not the Trailblazer with twin turbos (concept in MTFeb2002?), just a regular BLAZER!!!

One of these days, I know I'll lose...she's pretty well stock, but she's a factory freak!

Lol...I know what I can and can't beat...but last night was fun...I was just driving up my street when I saw a new Mustang pull of and cut me off then pull into the left turning lane. I saw it had dual exhaust so I figured, GT. I pulled into the other left turning lane and looked over to see that it was a Cobra..Convertible. All the blood kinda left my face...the light turned green and he turned the corner quickly (he was on the inside) so I turned it up...we jumped the gun at the same time (You gotta love the modded GTP's 30 roll) And I had him for a split second, then kept up with him until about 55 where we had to slow down b/c of traffic, but I could see him start to pull on me...I got him where my car performs the best (30-55) and he pulled up next to me once we were clear of traffic and screamed "What the hell do you have in that thing???!!! I've NEVER had a Grand Prix pull on me like that!?" I said..."Supercharged 3.8L modded" He said, well yeah this has one of those too, but you pulled on me! That car's bad ass" Now how many people get told by a Cobra owner that? I'm not joking on this one either...but he was about 35 or so, so I know he knew what he was doing...anybody else raced a Cobra? A new one.

Speeed Racer!!! hirimato ishinu izato !!!

.................. ??????????????????????????

The 03 Cobra??? Helllllll no!!! Even though mine's a factory freak, she'll get waxed! And I couldn't do that to her ego!

My neighbor had an 04 Cobra HT manual. With a smaller pulley, intake, pcm and exhaust it pulled 426 RWHP and 428 RWTQ. (saw the sheet)

He let me drive it and I was able to break the tires loose in 2nd and 3rd WITH the traction control ON. The car was a Monster. I was shaking when I got out of it. Even with drag radials he had big traction problems. I sure as heck wouldnt mess with one unless like some have said I wanted to see how little and how fast his tail lights could get.

It was a nice car but the driving position was HORRIBLE, at least for me and the shifter was in a terrible position.

Yeah, I guarantee if those cars wouldn't have been there...I would have black on my white car from his rubber once I hit 2nd gear, my car almost dies it seems like...someone needs to find a way to fix that...so the RPM's don't go to negative 4,000,000 when it shifts into second...

Ok here are all the times for the vettes 90-02. Is your cam in yet? Get the cam in and the supporting mods, headers and 3" or smaller pulley then you should be able to beat a Z06.

get a pcm try the new intense stage 1. My friend got one and loves it. He says it is noticeably better than the DHP.

Isn't the Z06 a mid 12 qtr mile car from the factory? This is a totally different class of vehicle. It doesn't cost LS1 owners more than a grand to get their low 13 second 6 spd Z28's or Firebirds into the 12's. How much do you think it would take to get a mid 12 second Z06 into the 11's? I would not race him from a roll, a stop, or off a cliff. I would not race him for a spliff. I do not like green eggs and ham. I would not race those Vettes Sam I am.(somebody said this was a family board. I wrote that in case my 4 year old wanted to post).

I highly doubt I can beat a Z06 with my cam, with headers, and a smaller pulley WITH an Intercooler! It's just got too much balls...I'm just going to have to trade in for a Z06...only solution....no, but...I SWEAR, I'm not lying about the Cobra!
