Not much out there will hang with a ZO6....combine the weight with the power and it's one very very badass car...

I'd kill for a 2002 Lingenfelter Corvette... Twin Turbo aluminum block 427, over 800 hp, 1.9 second 0-60 and best 1/4 mile: 8.95 @ 152 or so (I think)...with a top speed of in the 240 mph area....best part is, it's a 4 speed automatic!!! AND this car will walk all over a Hennessey Viper, even though the Viper has more horsepower....talk about defying the laws of physics.

you mean in the 1/4? maybe you should drive down here, and try my near stock 5 liter.

[i]After many mods on my 5.0 I am just now getting to where I beat LS-1's more than I lose.[/B]
would you consider my car "many" mods? i wouldnt, just all the cheaper add on's, nothing that counts, like heads/cam/poweradder, i beat more than lost to.

[i]A convertible automatic LS-1 with a fat chick in the back would still spank a 5.0 5 speed with a good driver. [/B]
now are you talking the 1/4? if so, then refer to the 3rd quote.

i wouldnt consider you anywhere near stock so your arguements really makes no since. With your "Nothing that counts" mods you have knocked about 1 1/2 seconds off of your ET.

The time in your sig was ran on ET streets. If I slapped some slicks on my Cobra I am sure it would run a real low 13.

I am not driving 6 hours to San Antonio and you are not driving 6 hours to Odessa so we will never know.

My cobra is just my grocery getter/ daily driver. My 5.0 is my race car my 88GT vert was running a 13.6 @102mph on Nitto's.

I have since dropped the engine and tranny out of the 88 into a 90LX and added a few more mods along with some slicks.

When the track opens I fully expect to run a 12 with a good mph and give the LS-1's hell.

I dont doubt your car is fast and when I was talking trash about stock 5.0 vs LS-1 I wasnt reffering to your moderatly modded stang.

I'm sure your car is fast, and you probably beat a lot of LS-1s, especially if you race from a stop. But how fast do you race them up to? Your 1/4 mile time is impressive for the mods you have...but your mph proves that an even stock LS-1 would take you on the top end. I've seen many stock or near stock LS-1s pulling mid-low 13s...with trap speeds in the 104-108mph range. And most of those times are on radials.

Personally...I think we're beating a dead fish here... :o

I never said i can beat ls's or cobras past the 1/4? my car is also a daily driver, i drive 40 miles round every day,

in my sig, you will see that e.t. was "before the tb and maf", probaly the most expensive mods i have besides the rockers.
you make it sound like im bragging on how fast i am? that is not true,(by no means am i a powerhouse stang lol) just stating how a near stock n/a cobra would not pull me in the 1/4.

I havent knocked that much time off, with air silencer, front swaybar removal, advnced timing, i was running 13.9@ 97 mph on 225/60/15's?
not bragging, just saying these exhaust mods, rockers, and e.t. streets only knocked off 7 tenths, not quite a full second, remember the coupes were in the 14.2 range bone stock with some skillz...:) and my car is up around 195k miles.

well id take the challenge of the cobra on stickies though, 600 miles is kinda far, but id make it...heh

Maybe we can meet up in San Angelo some day. The elevation there is 2000ft compared to 3000ft here.

My 15 inch slicks wont go on the cobra cause a 15 inch rim wont fit over the back rotors. I will probably buy some nitto drag radials for it soon.

On Nittos I could pull off a 13.4 I bet..........Hell it would be fun if its possible for you to make it up there this summer let me know.

Although I would much rather take my 5.0 to the track. I would race you on the street with the cobra though if you want.

thats cool dark, im fixing to replace my e.t. streets with bfg dr's.

sanangelo is pretty far, i did drive up there in a company truck one day, who knows? but it would kinda suxor to drive that far for one of us to lose.....later
