My point is they can accellerate through the air at very quick velocities as soon as you step on it with minumum $ and mods invent. We must be arguing two different thing. Most Terminator owners that I've meet claim some pretty decent times though. Still I bet you that if you do the suspension, tire, and gearing mods a Terminator will hold its own just fine at a track.
Your last part in no way affects my sleep, but I do give you props for admitting that a Cobra is good at what it doesn't, and it makes you look like your not as blindly byiast to a particular brand as you looked a few post ago. A bone stock Terminator runs 8 psi, but again thats a stupid and irrelevant argument. See which makes more at 19 or 20 psi... Oh wait you'll be buying a new motor if you try and push that kind of boost through a stock LS2, probably even on race gas. A higher compression, larger displacement motor should naturally make more power psi for psi. A N/A 4v should make more power with equal blowers psi for psi until it blows as it has a higher compression ratio.

basically.. what i just read...
you admitted that you know nothing about drag times... for either party... and thats ALL we have been talking about..
i on the other hand... drag times is ALL i know.. i dont know what handles better for the most part between most cars... dont know which one brakes better...
i know ET's/traps/60ft.... ET is the only one that matters.. and is what i have been arguing for.. if you want to talk anything else... im out, because trap speed doesnt matter at all.. roll racing is ghey.. and anything else, i am too ignorant about, and would be made to look a fool.. so no reason for that..
i have met many ls1 owners that "claim" times.... i dont believe anyone until i see a slip, or see them go down the track..
i have been trying my hardest through the entire thread to post exactly that kind of thinking.. i have absolutely thought that way the entire time..
there are plenty of people in here that look MUCH MUCH more biased than myself..
as for forced induction.. i could care less.. i do on motor what most people do with FI.. with nitrous, im beyond what the majority does with FI.. i could care less how many PSI either car can hold.. and if you wanted to play that game... you could ask who would pick up more on a cam swap..... honestly, i dont know what a cobra would.. but i would bet money it wouldnt be anywhere near 60ish rwhp.. does that make it inferior? absolutely not.. you just have to mod according to your platform...
and FWIW, again, not that i care.. but an ls1 on 4-5psi will make more power than a cobra on 8psi... will it hold 20pi on the stock bottom end... hell no.. it wasnt designed for that... but 2k$ and it will..
again, it doesnt matter.. was just posting it up for anyone that was interested..
but again as i stated many posts ago.... Dyno numbers dont mean jack shit... the top 3-4 lines of the board that flash up after your pass is all that matters..
