03' Cobra @$$holes...?

[White360RFnSwee]

what the HELL does that DSG Cobra have?

 

[spanky442]

Fastest car I drove was an import. 2002 Porsche GT2. 0-60 2.3 sec, enough said. I still the mustang though, but only because I can afford to own one.
I mean 3.2 sec. sorry for the confusion.

Did it actually do it in 2.3 seconds, or did the magazine say you did?

BTW - The magazine racing version is far from 2.3 seconds anyway.

 

[spanky442]

nope, I went to Germany last year because my company had done some business with Bosch. While I was there I took tours of the Benz, BMW, VW, Audi and Porsche factories. While there they let some of us take the GT2 out. I didn't go that fast, but its definately a serious car. Oh oops, 3.2 sec.

HEY DALLAS GT.....NICE ICON!


"So I guess the 10 and 11 second Supras at E-town were just a figment of my imagination"

WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?

I was at Etown almost every Street War this season and was forced to race two supras with aftermarket turbos....thanks to Deadlurker (who walks up to people and tells them I want to race)

I beat both of them. One of them ran a higher trap speed , but neither could hook or just couldnt get power off the line. I guess Turbos are tricky to get right from the launch? I suppose this would be why they make a better Auto X car.

I was at etown almost every weekend this past season and NEVER saw Supra run under 11... Im sure the ones that are modded enough are capable (with 120+ trap speeds) but I never saw it.

I beat a Supra when my car was in stock form too, but I dont think that Supra was modded at all.

 

[GinoGT]

The only video of mine I can find is an 11.9xx Supra, but I do remember seeing a 10 second one at the last of the streetwars last year. I think it was a black one, with some 15" or 16" cheapo wheels with DR's.

I have yet toi be beaten by a supra.... Even when I was stock with a wimmpy 390 hp. ONly thing that beat me then (which im n ot proud of but will admit) was a VW something with a totally rebuilt engine and a after market turbo slicks etc etc and still he only ran a 13.1 i should have beat him...lousy driving


AS FAR AS SUPRAS i guess the main problem has been people who dont know how to drive them, but its also the car. THey either complain about not being able to get the power off the line or get so much they cant hook and just sit and spin. So they have trappped 125mph but I still beat the three I raced at the track.

WHO CARES ANYWAY...ITS A FREAKIN UGLY ASS IMPORT THAT EVERYONE WILL FORGET ABOUT IN A FEW YEARS if they havent already.

I gotta disagree, the SUPRA is a good looking bad ass ride. That said, I'm a mustang guy and will likely die a mustang guy (though I'm looking at lightings right now) Let's not be petty like some of the less evolved LS1, Supra, or whatever drivers. Let's be grown up enough to appreciate all fast well designed automobiles. there are some great cars put out by GM and even Japan and some pretty damn cool drivers driving each.

The arse holes, we'll dust off.

 

[Miklowcic]

yeah

my past replies seem pretty strong....I dont really hate any kind of car and will admit Im just being stupid.....this is a mustang site and i too am a Mustang fanatic so I feel obligated to fullfill the role of cobraasss....

I respect what ever beats me at the track. So far that has been almost all Domestic cars. Never been beat by a supra....I did lose to a 13.1 sec Turbo Charged VW something...back when my car was stock...I drove like SSSS considering my car could run 12.7 stock

I also had a very interesting race against a hatchback Honda. After I was warned to run 12 or leave the track, I raced this guy who started to pull on me and so the race of chicken went on until we both hit the brakes before the line... Turned out that we were both treading on thin ice....we both were running 11s without the proper equipment... We had a good laugh afterwards. I won (with a 12.0) , but only because he hit the brakes first!

I also got lined up against some kind of new Mercedes or BMW cant remember , but it was a four door and ran in the 12s.....stock....when a four door car can just about keep up with you...that derserves some respect...of course people at the track were saying that it was over $100k for that car...

I just wanted you to take advantage of the opportunity. I never forced you to race anyone...only suggested it. <img src="http://www.importfanatix.com/Forums/images/smilies/grin_no.gif">

[Miklowcic]

ahhhhh

I didnt even realize sat was an imp event already.... Ill have to check the schewdule and see. I cant get there until 3:30- 4:00 cause of work on sat


Yeah you wait alot on sundays, but thats the day I can always be there and I figured the competition might be a bit less fierce because of the crowds too....although I was surprised how many people were in the points for that class last season. It never seemed like there were many street et cars there on sundays, but i checked the pts and there are quite a few..

The SF thread died pretty fast.

Well the thread went on but it was closed.

I am used to my Supra and BMW interior, getting into a ford is like visiting a dollar store after Dillards. Let me point out things i noticed: On our test drive, the car NEVER even warmed up, the needle was at C the whole time, even after several redline pulls, wtf is up with that? The sterio stopped working half way, the salesguy who was along for the ride tried adjusting it, and broke off one of the knobs/bezel thingy (to which he replied "that happens alot). The clutch is heavy as ****, i dont see why it need to be this heavy, the z06 has more power but a much lighter clutch. The shifter is too far away and just plain ugly looking, its like shifting a school bus. When i popped the hood to check out the goods, it didnt want to close back down. The Sales guy slammed it extremelly hard 5 times, after which he started bending one side to make it "fit", and he didnt see anything wrong with that Thats a 2 week old Ford for ya.

btw...03 Cobras sound like can openers.

03 Cobra...there's a guy near my friend's house that has one and thinks he's the *****...well, he had the nerve to follow me one night and race me. Needless to say...once boost hit, it was entertaining to watch his headlights quickly disappear.
03 Cobra...ok...what's next? Keep the line moving...

Yeah the Cobra's Blow....Supras are nice, but nothing can Fawk with a Built AWD 4G63

Agreed, rednecks drive Fords, cool people drive Supras

j/k, but ive been in both many times, the new mustang has only its engine going for it. I dont see how someone can sell a MK4 for a Cobra, thats plain crazy. Supra does everything better, and looks 10X times better IMO.

I could never see myself owning a Mustang at all. I think ford is very cheap with there vehicles. And i wouldn't want to drive a car that is a dime a million. Id rather drive a somewhat rare car that isnt seen every 3 seconds. i kinda think the mustang is turning into a chick car... I see more older woman in convertable mustangs than any other car

i always stop people when they they gonna do this or i got that. just show me what u have now and what u did not what u goona do. "be about it dont talk about it".but all in all i like the 03 cobra owners. the year is 04 and the big 8 cyl blown mustang owners are still chasing my 93 6cyl supdawgs tail lights.the car would be nice if the low end torque was less. as far as either car being a top end car.in my experince the 03 cobra gets to 160mph rather quick compared to my 160 mph time. plus they are paying for a new car that they just threw away the warranty out the window that they payed for. but the younger kids driving these cars think they own all cars on the road. i think the car is a burnout machine than a street car. i wonder what will be said when the small block 351 v10 mustang gt comes around.now that thing will just fry the tires of it. just my 2 cents..

your cobra is still just another one of the million mustangs out there... that doesnt mean its a v6 obviously, but it is still a stang. if i see a cobra from far away, im usually going to liken it to a v6 stang, since they are most common, and think suzy is driving to high school

"Ford wants to make more money on me so they skimped on the interior" What kind of excuse is that?!?!? Funny the lengths Ford will go to in order to make an extra dime... yet they still trail Toyota in profits.

i hate fords there so fake and cheap models

 

[AzSnake]

I have heard the same thing. A boosted V8 and a NA v8 are whats instore for the powerplant although I heared that they are going to make the NA V8 very expensive and the Boosted V8 very very very expensive.

 

[Dallasgt01]
