    Will I win?!

    something tells me the Benz is not quite the car designed to be launched at a dragstrip. however while he is heavier, he does have the power to push him out of the hole, and the turbos to keep pushing up top. you may have your hands full if you are not careful. i think if you launch on him and...

    MOST HP WITHOUT NOS OR CHARGER???

    not much. 350whp with a full on n/a setup (this includes worked PnP heads, race grind cams, higher compression rotating assembly, possibly even a 5.0l stroker kit) and it wont be very street friendly (IE youll need a badass tune and race gas for the high compression). the 4.6L modular just...

    498RWHP @ just over 8.5 PSI LOL *graph*

    its the PSI these motors cannot handle. with larger turbo's, you move more air at lower boost levels than smaller ones. this is why properly choosing turbos based on goals/setups is key, as in the above. with a mere 8psi hes making close to 500whp. i know for a fact most guys run 11-12psi on...

    Pinging, adjust timing or add fuel?

    either or. it really doesnt matter how you do it, I would add fuel before backing down timing, but thats just me. if im getting detonation/knock i will try to add fuel in small increments, if that doesnt work, then i will pull timing. once i get to the point of no knock/predetonation, i will try...

    my new cobra.. opinions please, be honest

    i dunno. if you were to buy it for 25K from a private seller and do all the mods, then 33k is a pretty good deal, and its all done for you already. here in cali, 25k is standard private sale, 30k is usually dealership prices, and thats for stock cobras with moderate miles (under 50k). honestly...

    New wheel pics: Konig 18" Beyond & BFG's

    very original. they are almost like bullitts but the spokes are reversed (IE the inside of the spoke is now the outside). looks very good. however i think with just 275's out back you might regret it when traction problems ensue with the addition of the blower.

    Finally placed my order for a Kenne Bell!!!

    dude seriously, how much did you spend on your car to bring it up to the point of a KB Terminator? i mean, you look like a cobra, you have a built motor now and a KB up top. IMO you shouldve just gotten a cobra from the start and been done with it. i will give you props though, i could not...

    Civic Si?

    if you lose, your car is not as good as his, IE his is better. better car by design, no. better car because he won, yes. why? if they put in the wrenchwork to make their cars better than how it came from the factory, theres no shame in that. any car can be better than what it is, some easier...

    Cams In Cali

    i dont know from experience. i know we had a dsm guy, HKS 272/272's, 60trim with all the fuel support, full 3" turboback exhaust with cat in place, passed the sniffer pretty good (not flying colors, but enough). failed visual (vacuum hose routing for his 3bar map sensor, chrome IC piping and...

    5.6 liter v8

    1) he is either getting is 5's and 4's mixed up (IE he meant 4.6L) 2) he is either getting his 4's and 6's mixed up (IE a 5.4L swap) you better figure out really wtf hes talking about. if its a modular 5.6L turbocharched motor, its definately a pretty one-off setup going on, totally custom...

    Cobra IRS wheel hop

    lets see. lets compare a car with modded solid rear versus stock IRS. yeah. totally legitimate comparison there. why not take a stock fusion and take on a nascar while youre at it. one is properly prepped, after all :shrug: how bout you compare IRS and SRA with equal modifications. run...

    Cobra IRS wheel hop

    i think ford is the last of the domestics to still utilize solid-rear on their RWD Car lineup. the GTO is IRS the Corvette is IRS the new Camaro is IRS the new Challenger is IRS Ford Mustang is SRA. its also lacking in almost every other department, it takes a blower and a 75k+ price tag to do...

    Cobra IRS wheel hop

    IMO the biggest thing to change is your tires. like someone said, if they cant spin, they cant hop. I have Nitto555R out back and i can barely get loose in a 1st gear roll. launching is almost better than my buddies 06 WRX (20g turbo+support, race tranny, better axles, KDW2 all around) out of...

    used 03/04 cobra stock or modded?

    30k is where theyre at from a dealership in good condition, ive yet to see one under 28k, and that 28k one was beat. depending on condition, 22-25k private party. anyone selling for less, IMO, should be shot. id like to keep the cobras above 20k so no stupid little kids get them and start...

    TERMINATED

    theres a difference between "spirited driving" or "Driving a car how it was intended" and "beating" on a car. i do spirited driving daily. beating on the car? never. IMO beating on the car is things like: always having to show off for and to random cars to get attention, getting sideways and...

    A few Cobra pics...

    nah i think they kept running out of paint colors, so they just went with whatever they had in stock to keep going. looks ****ing beautiful.

    TERMINATED

    good call. that hood needs to go. plus if he has Lvl5 shafts and an IRS brace, it was likely drag raced. other than that, it feels good to get in a cobra. i have not looked back since i sold my GT (i still see it everyday, i work with the guy who bought it).
