    How fast are you???

    I was at the 1/8 mile yesterday and there was an 05 GTO (auto w/dr's and maybe exhaust), a beautiful blue 05 Mustang GT with dr's and at least the Steeda intake (saw it), an enlisted guy from my squadron with an LS1 Trans Am (318rwhp/350rwtq-intake, exhaust, tune), and my Vette. It was hot...

    05 M3 vs 05 GT

    Luckily in this case, the M3 beats an 05 Mustang GT stock for stock. The arguement of taking the money I save from buying a $25K car over a $50k cars is lame at best. It's normally said by those who couldn't afford the more expensive car anyway. I would guess most people (not all) who buy a...

    03 Cobra HP estimate

    I'll be honest, being a former 03 Cobra owner, IMO, he bought the better car. It cost more money for a reason. Look at the times I listed, an auto Vette isn't exactly a slow car and if it's Z51 optioned, it's going to run hard in the corners. Now bang for the buck, straight line performance...

    updated pics of my 05 LNR @ Virginia FFW

    Great looking stang but does it have the balls to back up the looks?

    03 Cobra HP estimate

    I haven't posted in a while but here's what I think, being a former 03 Cobra owner who replaced it with a brand new shiny red C6 Corvette. Though I have an M6 (Z51 option), it feels very much like my 03 Cobra did with a cai and cat-back exhaust. I'm guessing my Cobra would have dyno'ed, like...

    05 M3 vs 05 GT

    A guy who posts on LS1.com and maybe even here had a turbo'ed 99+ Mustang GT. It was in one of MM&FF shoot-outs a couple of years ago, silver in color. Insanely fast in the quarter. Anyway, he commented not to long ago that he could barely stay ahead of a stock M3 at speed on the highway...

    July 2005 Car And Driver

    I understand that but I still don't think it will blow away the standard C6 (based soley off what Car and Driver stated). The only area where I could see a stock GT500 beating a stock Z51 equipped C6 would be straight line and that might come down to driver. At least two regular drivers have...

    July 2005 Car And Driver

    Blown away? I assume no real testing was done with the new GT500, based on what was said above. If 12.5@116 is the average, the quarter mile times will be close with the regular Vette. A few good drivers have run 12.4-6's at 113-115 in stock C6's (second hand net info). Best time posted was...

    My 2005 GT got stomped 2x

    A lightweight car like the Vette doesn't need much to get it moving. I've been searching Corvetteforum.com for times since I haven't had the chance to go to the track yet. For example, a certain bone stock C6 m6 ran a 12.7@113 on street tires. Another ran 12.3@117 with a custom tune and 160...

    My 2005 GT got stomped 2x

    Any car can be made fast and sometimes be reliable. I've had two supercharged mustangs, one a 95 and my latest, an 03 Cobra. The Cobra was very reliable and would smoke my new C6 in a straight line (with the mods it had). My 95 would have smoked both my Cobra and Vette but was not reliable at...

    The new 03 Cobra owner million dollar question

    Though I'm no longer an 03 Cobra owner :( I would say a cai and cat-back will wake your car up. From there, the pulley/tune combo will work wonders. Enjoy that bad boy :nice:

    My 2005 GT got stomped 2x

    Ever run at the late Carlsbad? It's shut down now but one of the worst tracks for cars on street tires. That Z06 went undeafeted that day, against every comer, supercharged or not. Not all tracks are the same. Not all drivers are the same. Look at the C6 times I posted, well into the 12's...

    My 2005 GT got stomped 2x

    Are you sure? Meaning have you raced one at the track with a good driver? Very similar performance as the older Z06, a bit slower from what I read. I've seen some very near stock Z06's run at the track and they can run. One guy had a cam, exhaust, tune and ran high 12's at 121 as I recall...

    Are you glad you got a Cobra?

    I tell ya, I had my 95 GTS for eight years and it was as solid as they come. Must have been built on a Wednesday. I would say its build quality was equal to my Cobra but had a better paint job. I do enjoy my 03 but mainly because of the engine. My car did have the stall and the paint isn't...

    Picked up my new REDFIRE GT yesterday. PIC.

    You do know that all redfire cars are quicker than any other color? Great looking car :nice:

    Raced an '01 vette! Question

    Just browsing the forum and thought this thread was interesting. So I went over to corvetteforum.com to check on some times. Found one stock auto C5 with 2.73 gears that ran [email protected]. I also ran a bone stock A4 C5 at the track. This was Carlsbad and is a very slow track when on street...

    03 Cobra Dyno

    Are those numbers SAE corrected? It was hard to tell but it looks like it says SAE smoothing. The standard is SAE so it's easier for an apples to apples comparison.

    Anyone have the JLT full length intake kit?

    It wins out because the air-fuel is leaner. The test needs to be equal, meaning same air-fuels otherwise the results are skewed.

    Bought an 04 Cobra last Thurs (pics)

    Congrats on the Cobra. Do you by chance live in Chula Vista? The other day I was behind a nice Silver Cobra. Great pics by the way. IMO, as far as mods, I would only have a reputable tuner tune my car. I use Danny Swanson in Torrance. Long drive but worth the effort.

    How do you get on a list??????????

    The few dealeships I've spoken to around here are not taking deposits, at least not yet. Maybe I'll just wait a bit and work it like I did my 03. Driving by a Ford lot in Virginia, I saw a redfire Cobra that had just been delivered and grabbed it. This was at a time when all the 03's were...
