Back to life...
 

This forum is really dead, couple years ago there were kill stories like mad.


lets bring this thing back, I know I for one havnt posted crap in a long time.

Well Im putting a solid rear and 4.30s in the cobra this weekend, and my buddy is picking up a supercharged 2001 bullitt as well so I think I should have some stories and videos this coming week :-D

You will love the 4.30's with the solid axle. When I had my 01 cobra a friend of mine had a 99 cobra with 4.30 gears and a solid axle and he would absolutely rape my car.

Whatd u do with your 01?

I sold it. I never drove the car I only put 6 thousand miles on it in 1 1/2 years.

I bought my girlfriend a 00 beetle to put around in. When she gets out of school next summer I get to upgade to something in the Vette/Viper category.

Selling it was all part of a bigger plan.

Its winter in Ohio, So no stories here:(

But there will be when I get this overpriced Hairdryer moving:D

can i ask what u got for it?

It was a fully loaded 01 cobra with every factory option. Bone stock with 14,000 miles on it. I sold it for $22,900.00

I know I haven't posted many kill stories in some time now. Here in Texas they throw you in the slammer and maybe even take your car now for street racing. I don't do it much for those reasons.

Yet if someone interesting revs at me and wants to go in a relatively safe situation, then I would probably go.

Rev

Yeah winter sucks in the north! I should have my car together by early april. Then I will be sure to post all kinds of kills, Here viper viper viper.

Vipers?
 

With 12.03's and 125's, you should eat stock vipers alive I would think. I do get my car chassis dynoed at a shop that caters to Vipers, TNT Motorsorts in Houston. Some of their projects do dyno at 600 on the motor and 900 on the bottle. Not saying you won't waste some Vipers, but then there are those others too. Good luck in your endeavors.

Rev

Rev, first you car is sweet its so rare to see a older one getting used for what it was made for.

As for vipers when I set out to build my car I wanted it to be faster then any production car, and to me the viper is the pinical. I have yet to have a real race with one and can't wait for a chance I know I could woop a stock one pretty easily but its all about fulfilling dreams :D

As for my times those are old times the car went faster last summer at a eight mile track (the ET converted to 11.66@127.5) I have tons of tweeks this year planned including running ET's drags so traction should be under control. I hope to run 10.40's at hopefully 130mph.

Jeez..phenomenal?
 

Hope you can do it. 10's @ 130 in a street driven car is mind boggling to me. I'm just happy with low-mid 13's. I do keep thinking of a Paxton for carbureted engines, but then there would be traction problems, more burnt clutches in the tranny/posi, etc.

Rev

It's been rain season in seattle for the last 2 years, so not much to post :rolleyes: I went to the track with my mustang a few times before i sold it and had some cool races with LT1 Camaros and other mustangs but i just never posted them. Near the end i was working on the car getting it prepped to race more than i drove it on the street.
I can't exactly have an exciting street race my explorer or jeep cherokee....i've tried, it just doesn't work.

Yea it has been kind of dead. If we can keep cool people here, and weed out the ones that make crazy stories up and who never run at the track we will be ok.

I really like this forum, so thats why i started posting some kills even if it was from the LS1.

Oh, oh, here we go again
 

I can't wait to hear the responses to this one.

Rev

Re: Oh, oh, here we go again
 

Lol! :D I wonder if that argument will be carried into every post from now on

In two weeks Ill run your ported headed, cammed, intaked LS1 with a stock longblocked 99 cobra with 70 less cubes.

How bout that.

Shh.. I think I hear something whistleing?

Not if everything turns out as I hope. Shooting to run some high 11's on a stock motor w/ 4.30s and some tires... Full exhaust, air meter, ported stock lower intake, and a live rear axle which I just put in over the weekend outta a 03 gt.

Skyler

You are going to have to drive it like you stole it. Ofcourse you don't have a problem with that.

Pics????

What comes to mind when you want this is Bob Cosby's car. You know that one? He was running high 11's on the motor but sometimes going through 3 trannys on a race weekend b/c of the abuse it takes to run that.

You know I will wish you all the best. It seems like you can drive so it will be interesting to see what you will do. With those mods you will do i would guess around what 320-330 rwhp? It can be done i think.

Oh--you forgot to mention that I still have stock tuning, stock stall, nittos, full weight to run 11.9s @ 117 (best mph 117.95).

Skyman- Go to Anythingcars.com and talk to "Joe Lynch", that is his screen name.

He has a 99 cobra and he dynos 366 RWHP and has a live axle with 4.56 gears etc..

He runs 10's @128mph on a 150 shot and around a 12 flat off the bottle. He cuts 1.43 60ft's all day long.

If you talk to him I know he can help you out with some advice. He is a cool guy I met him once at the track. He has been in a 5.0 mag and everything.

Heres a video of his 11.17 @120mph run. Oh yeah I forgot to mention his car is a convertible.

Check it out.............He is alot faster than this now this is an old video:cool:

Thanks guys, Yeah I am familar w/ them both. Talked to bob a bit about his car. Pretty much doing mine up like his, but a little milder for a street application.

Will be looking for around 320rwhp. Lightened the car up w/ the solid rear, recaros, dynabatt, fiberglass hood, and tublar front end soon. Shooting for high 11's around 112 ish.

SKyler

Sounds great, Sky. Are you planning on running lightweight rims too?

Good luck,
E

Im going to try and manage on the 17x9 konig villians I have, I dont want to run a 15" rim and w/ the brembo brakes I have, I dont know of anything that would clear them.

Front skinnys will clear with spacers in the front fwiw. Sounds like a fun combo be sure to keep us up to date.

brembos? They are huge!

I am almost positive the spacers move it so the lip of the rim is outside the caliper so it can rub even though the caliper is even with the rim.

No kill stories for me. Hard to race when their is snow on the ground!:p Besides, I really dont street race. The only thing new with my car is an 01 Cobra rear suspension with 4.10's. I should have pics. I was told it bolts right in.

James:cool:
