Z28 vs. "GT"
Well I was driving around town the other night with one of my friends in his z28 and we come across this 2000 GT. Well he is around 40yrs old and agrees to run'em..So we go out and race and my buddy misses a gear and looses by like 1/2 a car length. Well they end up racing again and unfortunatly the 98' Z28 did put the "GT" to sleep. So we pulled over and talked to the guy for awhile and I asked to see his motor. So he pops his hood and there sets the Cobra. So I said whats up with this. So he goes and pops his trunk and there are the Cobra emblems off of the side. He bought GT emblems and is in the process of putting them on. So his is goin to imposter a GT for some racing. Its a Forest or a little lighter green color. Well I was just wondering how much HP a stock 00' Cobra produces.

Well i guess that he is lying that his car is a 00' cause I know it isnt no cobra R and that Z28 wouldnt have beaten it..Wonder what year it is?? Prob a 99 then..
|
Smokedawg you go to IUPUI, I also go there, hell I am there (here) right know! What does your car look like I am sure I have seen it in the parking lot. I am sure we can meet up sometime soon.
|
I am at school right now..but i get off work here at 3 then i am outta here. My car can be seen from my userrides section..look under my username...but i havent driven it since October because she underwent her 347 surgery..She will prob start being driven 1 every other week here starting next week. I drive my ol' pickup truck now back and forth.

sedanman-
what does your mustang look like..i have spotted a few 5.0's out here...where do you usually park at?? |
I usually park it across from the ET building in the lot behind the one being tore up, it is a tame looking red coupe. Today it is parked in the middle of nowhere. Send me a email when you drive your car in and we can meet up my email is sedanman91@aol.com

Sharp looking car! So you have not had it to the track since the new motor. Have you ever been to Muncie, or IRP. I sometimes park behind the Mary Cable building too. I would like to take a look at your car and see how that 347 runs, I am looking at getting either a 347 or a 331 stroker motor by next winter.

Why would anyone want to pose their cobra as a GT? In addition, even if you remove the emblems, the front hood and air dam are different than the GTs as well as having the Cobra name on the rear bumper.

That sounds like sacrilege to me. It's one thing to put Cobra emblems on a GT (a bad thing that is), but to put GT emblems on a Cobra is pretty underhanded. If he's worried about losing races because he can't drive the thing faster than your average GT owner, he should buy some parts...

Smokedawg...sweet looking car! i go to Anderson University so we are real close to each other. you will have to go to muncie with sedanman and me this spring.
