Sounds to me like a Corsa exhaust kit

1993Grandamgt · 07-08-2003, 03:15 PM

i was thinking B&B exhaust, as my buddies Z06 has that exhaust and thats exactly the way his sounds. stock it wasnt that crackly sounding

VTECSiGAH8R · 07-08-2003, 09:54 PM

I know there are bone stock 2002 and 2003 Z06s running low low 12's (like 12.1) and even an 11.99 I've seen the slips for. I don't think any stock '03 Cobras have managed that. It would be really hard to imagine even a freak Cobra pulling it's doggish 3600-3900 lb curb weight down the track for low 12's stock.

neither of those time slips say what car it is, for all i know it could be your neighbors drag chevelle or something. the last one says ranger. who or what is ranger. i know of a FORD RANGER that does those times.

... seriously i do. but man very nice cold weather for running good times! low to mid 50's to accomplish very high 11's ....... impressive

VTECSiGAH8R · 07-09-2003, 09:10 AM

One of the stock slips I saw was running like 12.1 at 100+ degrees at the track. I saw several at the 12.1 level and another at 11.99 and then the one above at like 11.948. What are the chances that all of them are faking it? 405 hp + 3300 lb curb weight (maybe less with weight mods) and you get low 12s if you can shift right and get good traction.

1993Grandamgt · 07-09-2003, 09:14 AM

you know this debate will never be one as everyones views are different. i like cobras you guys like the Z06..... it will never rest.

Panacea · 07-09-2003, 09:16 AM

first of all what drag strip actually puts the make and model of the vehicle on their timeslips, and second of all, Ranger is the guys alias on the website I got those from.

1993Grandamgt · 07-09-2003, 09:17 AM

the point i was trying to make is there is no way for us really to verify the vehicle at hand

It will never end...but the truth is that the cobra has more horsepower and torque per dollar.

1993Grandamgt · 07-09-2003, 09:57 AM

exactly my points i was trying to make. for the money you saved you can take 2 more people with you, and have enuff money to mod the hell out of it.

Panacea · 07-09-2003, 10:38 AM

Yes, that is all true, but in the end... It's still a mustang.

1993Grandamgt · 07-09-2003, 11:20 AM

same with the Z06 its still only a vette! nothing special........

95-GT · 07-09-2003, 11:46 AM

Z06- $135.80 per 1 HP

Exactly...

95-GT · 07-09-2003, 12:27 PM

hmm...dump $20,000 into a mustang and what do you have then?

1993Grandamgt · 07-09-2003, 12:41 PM

one hell of a fast car that is cheaper than a vette!!!..........

A Mustang?

Buy a '96 vette and put $20,000 into it and what do you have? A vette that's a heck of a lot faster than that rustang you just put $20,000 into, and it was cheaper...

95-GT · 07-09-2003, 01:20 PM

But consider that the 96 vette is 7 yrs old compared to a brand new mustang. Take a 88 foxbody mustang, dump $20k into that, and what do you have? A 9 second car.
