I was at my friends house in Little Canada just hanging out, then like at 11:20 p.m. I left to go back home in St. Paul. So I was driving on 35w going back home and I see this car catching up to me slowly. I thought it was a GTP for a second, until it got closer. Then I realized that it was a Mustang. I was getting excited, because I havent had a race on the highway in a while. So the Mustang pulls next to me and I see the Cobra sign. I've been wanting to race one just for the hell of it, so I put it into 3rd and go. I'm like half car ahead, when I hear the guy floor it and all I hear is the rumble and the supercharger. Then in no time, the Mustang was ahead of me by like 1/2 a block and I was still in third gear. Yeah, so I gave up right then and caught back up to him and told him he had a nice car. I never knew that those SVT Cobras were so damn quick, makes me think twice about wanting to race corvettes just for the hell of it. Atleast I know where I stand now. I've got quite a ways to go! I like racing V8's, even though I'm not that quick, but its fun when you beat some of them (the slower ones) with a 4 cylinder. But I still like those muscle V8s, they're so awesome. So far, I'm the only person at my school with an import that can stand a chance against those Camaros and Mustangs that go to my school.
Whoa....time for me to go to bed!

There's this Junior at my school who owns a Cobra. I was hoping to have the quickest car at school this year, too....bummer!
I havent had one good race with a GT yet, so I dont know if they're easy or not. The closest one I've had was against my co-worker. He floored it and I just floored it in 5th gear for about 3 seconds and then I went into third. That was kinda late then, so he won thinking I actually tried.

One of the local DSM guys has an '03 Cobra with a few mods, it dynos 450 whp on pump gas. I went for a ride in it and was very impressed, we'll be doing a little comparo once I get around to replacing my clutch. :3gears:

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

Whats all done on your car? I'm guessing that since you're going to go up against that cobra, you're loaded with stuff. The Cobras sound really nice with the supercharger and all, doesnt it? One of these days when my uncle comes back down to visit us, I'll take his car down to University and have me some fun. He's got an '04 GTO...I love that car so much. Makes my car feel like a slow civic after driving his.
Oh yeah, I just found out that the guy with the Cobra at my school doesnt really have a Cobra. Its just a GT with all the Cobra badges....got me fooled along with everyone else at school.

He said that he's saving money for a supercharger which is going to cost like $3000. So I'm guessing that he's getting car ready for when it becomes like a Cobra...
Anyone going to Rock Falls next Sunday?

lets say he gets 30% more HP with the blower, that will put him at 338 HP @ the motor with a manual tranz a 9% loss makes 308 WHP. I'm beeing generous with the numbers but its still not a Cobra. :dsmrule:
(260 hp assumed -2003-)

Plus, the GTs are 4.6 SOHC and the Cobras are 4.6 DOHC. So its going to take more than a supercharger on a GT to make it more like a Cobra. Oh well...if I can beat him then people at my school will think my car is fast!....haha
I still cant forget the sound of that Cobra as he flew by me...it was way worth the lost, IMO.

I have a friend that has a 97 v6 stang with cobra badging - yes, I am ashamed to call him my friend.
And yes, us GT owners are extremely slow.

hahaha....Dont feel too bad. I actually thought that kid had a real Cobra for the past month! I lost to a 95 GT, so I must be one crappy driver or just driving a slow car!

Don't let those 03 Cobras push you guys around, just give them the 3 honks and let your turbo do the talking. :3gears:

I did that without the 3 honks and his car did all the talking, not mines. I'm still on stock motor, stock turbo. I shouldn't have raced him, but if I didnt then I would've never known how quick they are. I'm not quite up there yet...

Have you guys ever heard of QPR?
They specialize in moters for dsms.
I have been in touch with them and for just about 4gs they are gonna build me a 4g63 motor with about 400 hp. I guess that about the minimum hp theyll do.. lol
I still need to be streetable, but i dont think even a viper will hold to a 2g dsm with 400whp. If you guys really wanna go fast get in touch with them

The 400 will be that low based on your turbo set up, our motors are built to handle a minimum of 500-600. Most are built to handle more. At least the bottom end is. ;-)

You gotta take off at the 1st honk to let it spool so you can keep up on the 3rd honk jump. :goodluck:
