Official freak status...
 
There is no way in hell a stock 01' Cobra can outrun a LS1. All six of the LS1's I have beaten must have been driven by morons. I outran 2 of them from a roll. Even a convertible LS1 should be able to smoke my @ss.:rolleyes: ......

The local chevy crowd has confirmed I have a FREAK. I pulled a 13.7 @106 @3000ft on the G-tech so come on how freaky can it be.

Oh...Wait!!! I figured it out maybe not all LS1's run 12's. :o ... I know this must come as a shock. Many of the guys are experiencing there first loss to a 4.6L and are having trouble dealing with it.

BTW: There is a 03' Cobra here now......but it is owned by a 55 year old women.:confused: ...What a waist.

you never know what that 55 year old women might do with that car.. I am girl and i know how to get on my car.. i get a lot of looks of shock from guys when they see me driving my mustang... just today i had two ricers jaws hanging as i passed them from the opposite ways.. the one actually made a complete stop to stare when i passed by..and the other was turning down the road that i was stopped at a stop sign and he was just staring in utter disbelief... both times i gave it a little rev and let my exhaust tell them what i thought of their staring...
so i wouldnt call it a waste until you see what she does with that car.. she will probably surprise you.. :)

Oh no... Sacrilege!!

The god of all motors, the mighty LS1, will run mid 12's in stock form... leap tall buildings in a single bound.... stop locomotives with its mighty torque....

Hehe, good kills... ;)

Mercury 07-21-2002 12:27 PM

Man O Man..Your really enjoying your Cobra. Thats cool. Good kills man.

Tim C, Marya, and I all ran at the track Thursday. There was one LS-1 that broke into the 13's, and he used 50 shot to run a 13.4 at 107. (Weather was 102 degrees with 100 percent humidity). While Tim C ran consistant 13.8's, and I ran consistant 14 flats at 100 MPH (which is 3 MPH less than last time.)

Marya (2001 WS-6) ran a lowest of 14.04, her average was 14.2's. My lowest was a 14.0015 at 100.37. My best 60 ft was a 2.15. Thats off idle. I still have yet to launch. I dont think thats to bad for that weather, without launching, and non power shifting or speed shifting.

Hey Dark 5.0 What was the weather when you turned in a 13.8?

Dark_5.0 07-21-2002 10:27 PM

The weather is always the same here....Freakin HOT with "0" Humidity.

I got a little too cocky and got spanked last night by a modded vette. It didnt hurt hough there were only about 20 people watching:o ....

All I have are G-tech times.....I will got to the track soon.

Yea, with e.t. streets i was giving the 'almighty' ls1 a hard time, i beat plenty of them now, the a4 ss was a handful though, i beat a m6 firehawk, and played with a c-5 on the higway the other day, i know a c-5 can really move, especially on the higway, but my car refused to drop off his tail, the problem i had was when the higway curved, at 110 mph my car starts to drift with no swaybar, thats when i had to let off in 4th gr, im ready to put it back on, if i can find all the hardware.

mysweetlx 07-22-2002 01:03 PM

Can we call you Dark Freak now, or just Mr Freak? :D can't believe there have been 7 posts on this topic and not one response from the GM contingent.......once they regain their consciousness, I'm sure the flame war will begin. ;)

1BAD89 07-22-2002 01:18 PM

I don't see how you can call your car a freak? Maybe I just don't get it? :confused:

302 LX Eric 07-22-2002 02:15 PM

OMG! All of this and Unit's on hiatus!

Nice kills...finally someone else that has run into the exact same thing I have (re: modded SS I raced last fall that went mid 13's).

Take it easy,
E

I am joking, my car isnt a freak cause of its speed but cause it can beat LS1's. The local Chevy guys seem to be in dis-belief, I am making fun of there attitude.

I have lost to a couple of LS1's and a vette. I am not going to speculate on my cars speed that would be "Ricer like"....I will wait till I get track times.

Hoping for a 13.6 @2800ft.

89 Cobra LX 07-22-2002 03:15 PM

I'm very curious to see what you'll run with it. I've never seen any at the track, but I've seen plenty of stock GTs run in the high-13s. I would think mid-low 13s would be possible.

I test drove a 2002 Cobra last fall and they can move.

streetracinchik 07-24-2002 02:05 PM

First of all, I hate to burst the bubble, but the G-Tech is a waste.. we've all used em here & went to the track & went on average7 tenths slower in real life. Don't b disappointed if it happens to you...

Second, don't say that it's a waste for a woman, regardless of age, to have a fast car! I can beat almost all the guys here in mine.. I agree with Cait85GT5.0!! When people see my car, they assume that it's a guys car. When they ask who it belongs to & i say me, they laugh & say yeah, right. I just tell em to laugh as they get passed by a girl....

Trust me this 55 year old woman wont be doing any racing:) .....Her owning the car isnt the waist.....None of us getting to run the only 03' Cobra in town is the waist.

Yes the G-tech is crap......and thats why I dont post G-tech times.
I guarantee I am running a 13 something. Some of the cars I have beat run 13's at the track.

Trust me you didnt burst my bubble....Newbie.

correct me if i wrong but i think lizard king drove his '00 GT to a 13.6 and he said he knows someone who hit a 13.4

You're right about LK getting a 13.6x something out of his old GT (the green one), but Dark 5.0 is around 3,000 ft. above sea level.

Rev 07-24-2002 08:00 PM

Now LK's '00GT (with a head light missing) is an authentic freak that runs 13.6xx.

I ran my car at the track on 3 back to back runs and also using the G-Tech. My G-Tech was about .25 seconds optimistic and about 5 mph optimistic. It was a year or so ago, but i have the G-Tech times/ mph written down on the time slips. Others here on MW swear their G-Tech is dead on time-wise.

ReefBlueCoupe 07-25-2002 10:53 AM

dont rely on a g-tech. go to the track if you want a real number. g-tech add about 5 mph to what it would really be..

so that's a 13.7 @ 101.......... hardly a freak

EZRIDN 07-25-2002 11:28 AM

Yea the heat/humidty during rainy season here in south florida is a killer too. i was runnin 13.6s @ 104 last week and 13.5s @ 105 the week before. Those LS1s near you guys are....anyways.

My G-Tech has been acturate though. For example, one run Moroso Dragyway said i ran a 13.58 @104 and the G-Tech recored a 13.64 @ 108 on that same run. It is usually half a tenth off and 4 mph high. It is sensitve to having it set up right.

nice kills though. There has only been one 01 Cobra at the track that i have seen and it had a x pipe and mass air running 14.3s @ 101 a couple months ago.

silver_pilate 07-25-2002 01:15 PM

Reef....he's not calling his car a freak. He's being facetious. He beat several of the bow-tie boys and THEY think he has a freak simply by that fact, thus the sarcastic response from Dark.

Anyway...13.anything at 3000 ft. of altitude is fairly quick in a N/A stock car.
