Killed a 96-98 Cobra, an 01 GT and got stomped by a Fox.

fastang · 01-29-2001, 04:42 PM

Last week I left the st races bc I didnt want to get busted. This time it was a lot smaller and it was mostly muscle cars. So I stayed. This Cobra kept reving at me all night so I asked him to run and what he had done. He kept saying it was stock but it sounded real mean and people were telling me different. I beat him by about 2 cars to everyones suprise so they set me up with a Fox that they knew would kill me. He told me he had heads, intake, and a cam plus he had some meaty a$$ tires with dumped exh tips. Well he pretty much kicked my *** but it was only about 2 car lengths. He pulled me off the launch but that was it, I just couldnt reel him in. The last race was against the 01 GT. He beat me before I had my gears so I realy wanted this one. I ended up beating him by about half a car before the cops got there.

Good kill's i been wanting another race with a 00 gt, the one i race edged me at top, but that was when i was running slower, and yea those fox stangs can be unpredictable at times

That GT was really fast. It was definitely faster than the cobra I raced. Its hitting 13.7-13.8 with just a cold air induction. Its a vert too. I was very impressed. They totaly knew that the Fox was gonna kill me. I knew it too but I didnt care, I wanted to see how fast he was. He had heads, cam, and an intake and the only reason he beat me is because of his launch. These tires had to be at least 11 inches wide, he jumped 2 cars in first, I actualy pulled about half a car in second and we were even untill 4th with him about a car and a half ahead. As soon as I get my controll arms installed Im saving up for some drag radials.

Good kills

The drag radials will help you quite a bit. Or, how about the drag radials and a new set of better flowing heads and an intake - then all you will see is that foxbody in your rear view mirror.

Good luck.

I'm glad you confirmed it. I had beaten very cleary (3-4 cars) a 96-98 Cobra with my GT, and I thought it could of been a bad driver or something...

So what do you figure you run with the new setup on 1/4 mile?

Nice kills... (Don't have snow in your place do you... grrrr.)

Lizrdkng, I figure I could probaly run a 13.5-13.6 on average now with my stock exh, heads and intake. I hope to do even better once I get my longtubes, cat back, and controll arms in. I know its a pretty big claim but Im beating people that went to the track with me last month before I installed my gears and had it tuned correctly, so I saw their timeslips. That new GT is realy quick for only having an induction setup. Its a good 13.8. StreetStang37, I remember a huge argument here a few months ago about whether a 96-98 cobra was faster than a new sohc GT. I was totaly defending the Cobra, quoting hp numbers and all that crap, well Im here to tell you that I was totaly wrong. That Cobra I raced was probaly a 14 flat at best and that new GT whooped its *** before. I am admitting right now that I was totaly wrong. I dont know how or why its this way because the hp between the two cars differs greatly. But then I have seen a few new GT's that couldnt crack a 13 all day as well, but there ARE a few of these cars that are just plain faster than others. I have beaten other new GT's even worse than I beat that Cobra last night but this particular one, and there are others like it, was FAST for a stocker.

bigwhitecobra · 01-30-2001, 03:06 AM

I have to admit, I thought my car would be faster than it was before the gears and such. Then i remembered the weight factor. what do the new GT's weigh? I know my Cobra would be around 3500-3600, with 1/4 tank of gas, spare and jack removed, and skinny's on the front. Ah, it doesn't matter. Some cars are just faster than others.

Sounds great to me Sky, A few techncians from my dealership and some of my friends are going to Palmdale on February 10th. By then I should have my exhaust and controll arms installed and ready to run. Bring your camera and post the runs here. If you can run a constistant 13.5 you will probalby beat me, but not by much. I have had more races in the last two weeks than I have had in the last 2 months and Im just as suprised as you about beating the people that I did. I thought that the Cobra was going to whoop on me because he at least had an H pipe, and that fox I beat last week definitley had 410 gears because he was shifting way before me and winding it out more than me also, but I dont know how much motorwork he realy had, he claimed he had pistons to heads but he really should have beat me if he did. Im not used to winning so much so I guess thats why I keep posting them.

fastang - I know, I know...its been in my sig for about forever now. But, I am getting it. Christmas, gettting married (honeymoon in the US & UK Virgin Islands for a week) and building a new house has put just a little crunch on the finances but it will be coming soon.

I have set an order date of mid-March. That way I'll have it once the weather starts to get somewhat nice here in C-Bus.

I just had my LX dyno'd a couple months ago, here are the results from a 248J Dynometer:

289 RWHP
312 RWTQ

My coupe weighs in at 3040 w/o me and a 1/4 tank of gas. So based on my combo, weight, current HP & TQ, I am going for 500 HP at the flywheel or about 440 at the rear wheels which will hopefully put me in the solid 11 sec zone on my BFG drag radials.

I will keep everyone posted on the progress.

I just had my LX dyno'd a couple months ago, here are the results from a 248J Dynometer: 289 RWHP 312 RWTQ My coupe weighs in at 3040 w/o me and a 1/4 tank of gas. So based on my combo, weight, current HP & TQ, I am going for 500 HP at the flywheel or about 440 at the rear wheels which will hopefully put me in the solid 11 sec zone on my BFG drag radials. I will keep everyone posted on the progress. E ------------------ 1991 5.0 LX Coupe -37,800 miles 13.17 @ 106.14 mph w/ 2.138 60' Pro-Charger D-1SC on the way!!!

It seems every other one down here is highly modded! Which is a good thing, I just love to race em! ------------------ Joe! 1988 GT, 167,000 miles!!! 13.71@105mph Check out my listing! Click here!
