Ryan just barely lost to Homer with 500hp. Im sure that from a roll, Ryans car could walk an 03 Cobra. You Stangers need to recruit one in the club and then we will find out.

that kid in the cobra can't appreciate a fast car. he was all pissed that his $35,000 colbra lost to a 98 TA. I bet all the TA's mods didn't even bring the total price he paid for the car and everything to near the cost of that '03 cobra

Okay, that video was shot by me, so first off, how about learning or finding out the ordeal behind it..
We had driver - 185, passenger - 180, me - 200, another guy - 170 and he had him and his 100 lbs gf in the car. The guy swore on his life it was stock, but as you can tell by the sound when he walk us, it wasn't stock, he was spraying.
BTW, we've walked cars that have beat it, with less of us in the car. The cobra runs strong, Brandon has seen a pic of a 13.0 @ 110 pass and i have slips of a 12.9@111 in humid texas and 1 pass of like 13 something but the trap was 113. That is bone stock. The car rips, but he had us on the weight ordeal.
And 1 more thing, where did you find that video? So i can see who is posting it, b/c my site isn't on a search and no one knows about the "sa" directory, unless you have me on aim and seen my away message that one night.
Thanks
oh and ls1's are no the shit, we've been through this.. i like them, but the cobra, is mean when it wants to be.

:D
sucks a oh3 got beat by an ls1, we all know that doesnt happen in real life
by the way, whatever excuses there are, by how bad the cobra got beat, you and your buddies not being in the car wouldnt have mattered much
btw:

sniff sniff.. i smell an asshole. I'm not a troll, simply telling the story behind it to all the ls1 fanatics here that dont give a fuck. It does happen, but ppl see an 03 get beat and dont care about the storyline and those are the trolls/assholes that are on the boards. We could have missed every gear, but the ls1 ppl wouldn't care, if it was the other way around, the ls1 guys would be crying out "i missed my gears".. There are no excuses, we lost, all 3 times (there is another vid in that directory if someone was to look and some video of a car on fire in SA and i think one of something else, oh the track runs at Alamo, in SA (San Antonio). I was just laying the story line out, we had X amount of ppl, he had X amount and the list of "said mods".
Yea, we wouldn't have won b/c he sprayed, but dont come to us lieing. He wanted to race us, not the other way around. So what, one beat us. Whipty-doo, time to go make it faster.
brandboz28.. thanks, that was the first time i actually filmed anything. There is a cobra gtg video here, if you're interested in it. I shot 99% of this also. (everything that you see a red hood, i was shooting it). http://www.lafreak.com/DallasGTG.wmv

Hey man, thanks for sharing the vids. The brand rivalry is alive and well here, and we love to bust each others balls. Take it with a grain of salt. No matter how much time and money you put into your car, there will always be someone faster. But, on any given Sunday.......

Yea, it will never end. I'm guessing you have an 03 mach? If so, the numbers i've seen those put down, WOW. i've seen 1 go 13.2 stock. The cobra NA motor and live axle, really make up the sc and IRS of the cobra. The cobra's here run low 13.0-13.2 stock, we have a 12.9 slip, going tonight for something lower. Its a torch red 10 anniversary cobra, we sold the stock front seats, someone paid 1600 for them on ebay, we're getting racing seats, rear delete, some mods, and a cage in the next month, give or take. Our goal is make 600rwhp on the stock heaton. The KB will give better hp, but the eaton makes better tq numbers. We have some tricks for cooling that we are going to use ;)

hey nice car man, one day i'll see a 12.x timeslip, but i'm sure it won't be in the near future. i need a damn blower.
redmach1
08-15-2003, 06:52 PM
yeah, 03 mach 1 with a few mods. I have not put any numbers down yet, but I feel its a high twelve second car. I hope to get high to mid 13 sec. passes on my first time out. Good luck on your cobra project, I know there is alot of nastyness hiding in that bad boy!!!

i was just messing around, even though there was alot of complaining in the video about one thing or the other.
there was no storyline to explain, you raced - you lost - everyone in the car came up with some other excuse as to why. who cares if he said hes stock, im stock too. i tell that to 99% of the people i run. its racing
but i will say this in all seriousness:
its kinda retarded for someone running a blower to bitch about someone else spraying
as for all the ls1 fanatics here, i think your on the wrong board, there are only about 3-4 of them, 99% of the club are ford guys

You gonna be at FFW Ennis? I'm thinkin about going. I would of went to Epping, NH this weekend. But my son starts school monday, so I couldn't make it.
Domeskilla

yea, but the blower doesn't make that much power. Its only pushing 8psi, where as the lightning is pushing i think 12.
You have to look at the power to weight ratio's. The cobra is a solid 3800 lbs, whereas the f-bodies aren't as heavy.
but its all good.. figured i'd come keep the ls1 ppl from laughing and the ford guys from crying.

If that car was spraying he would have raped you a lot harder than he did, oh, and i've ran a 12.9 at 110 with just lid and catback before, so it doesnt take a lot to take down the allmighy 03:P :D

You're coming to Texas Motorplex? If so, we went last night and yea, we're going to the ford mustang thing there. We only got a best of 13.0 on f1's that have seen FAR better days. We gutted the car today.

Yup, probably going to the Fun Ford Weekend in Ennis. I'm running the Street Stang class with the 02.

I think that would be the first mod that I made if the car was mine. I think that it could be done fairly reasonably. Hell, you could probably sell the IRS to someone wanting it for a hotrod for more than it would cost for a built 8.8 with disc brakes.

Very nice, look forward to meeting you, just look for 2 teens in the red 10th anniversary cobra, i'll be the passenger, car is my "brothers" so he'll be driving.
redmach1.. yea, but we are trying to beat nitrous petes times on his IRS. :D And his numbers on the Heaton without n2o.
Didn't nitrous pete go 9's on his IRS?
Domeskilla
08-16-2003, 07:59 PM
not sure.. i need to look it up, they have it posted on svtperformance.com, but whatever it was, its our goal to break it and still have it in a car that will be street legal and driven more then just once a week or smoething.

So we cant complain about the 03 having a blower but you can complain about him needing spray to win?
The only point I'll agree with is that he shouldnt lie if he really is spraying
Domeskilla
08-17-2003, 10:50 PM
why complain? the blower is stock, hisa n2o wasnt. its not our fault GM has their head up their ass and wont s/c anything. They were suppose to do the SS truck but that one has been put off for another 2 yrs or so. Ford said f-it and did it. GM has some sc cars and is suppose to be making the impala ss a supercharged 3.8 fwd. That car is an icon, why mess it up? GM imo, is going down hill. They should keep up and be innovative. They were with the ls1 and ls6 and if they do this new electric valve thing i heard about, but they need to be able to try and stay on top, not kill its muscle car.

I agree and have always been an arguer of "an even run" meaning N/A vs. N/A or the other way around.
I finally have reluctantly agreed to saying "run what u brung and hope its enough" So when anyone says "but I was stock" I say "oh well you paid more and got a blower, so he paid less and added spray himself and raped you"

Good luck. 9.99@139 on the stock IRS, 3900lbs+ race weight.

why was he at 3900 lbs? the car weighs like 38XX stock. :-/ Thanks for the good luck. Its something we wanted to try and do, ya know. it might never happen or it might actually happen, we dont know, we're just 2 teens having fun.

it does seem that because the 03 cobra is such a badass car off the showroom ppl think theyre unbeatable. just like before when the LS1s had no "comp" you were something when you could whoop one of them...have yall seen the video of the 03 getting smoked by an RX-7...it was cars...and the 03 had bolt ons (smaller pulley, x-pipe, cat back etc)...but what about the $35, 000 the other guy DUMPED into the RX-7. true he won and the taste of victory is indeed sweet
