Ran a de-badged Charger so I don’t know if RT or SRT but is was very loud (sounded tough) and had enormous black breaks, and black wheels. Kinda had a de-badged / blacked-out look going. Anyway we went from a 3rd gear roll, basically from just under 4,000rpm to just under 6,500rpm and I shut...

I had a 90-140 all 4th gear run with what I’m pretty sure was a 2011 Porsche Turbo. He actually went first and I followed. I expected to lose by a lot. I actually expected to get raped having read the ¼ and trap speed on these 500hp cars. Anyway, from an all-4th-gear roll (for me), he only...

My daughter gets her license in a few months. I’ve successfully got a son driving for a few years now, no major mishaps. I’m seriously considering taking the damn fuses out of the car stereo for the first few months because I do think it’s a fact that teenage drivers think Priority #1...

I think I've seen five, maybe six 5.0's on the road since they came out. Seems like they should be an everyday sight by now, like GT's. :shrug:

Where are all the new 5.0's? I've seen (3) to date and I live in So. Cal., so there are lots of new cars running around. I would think I would see one a day by now?!?

Ran a new paper plates Challenger R/T from 4,000RPM roll in 3rd. He hit it first so he got kind of an instant about ¼ - ½ car jump and then I stayed on it to about 5,500RPM and had about 1-car on him (my back bumper at his front) and shut it down. It hit pretty hard and he had a passenger...

Anyone running Toyo Proxes R-888's? According to some Supra guy's they can put down 800RWHP, as in a handling tire that is better than any drag radial. They are about $375-$400/ea stock Terminator size, and on backorder everywhere I have looked.

How come no threads about this? I'm basically stock '04 Cobra and can't seem to run into a new 5.0

The 5.0 GT is back on top hands down vs. SS Camaro and Challenger SRT8 They have it running 12.7@111 4.4 0-60 0.97g laterial grip breaking in 104 feet from 60 Damn!

Anyone spot that it's almost the 8 but with two less cylinders? Has most of the good technology. I've never been impressed by a 6 before (except Supra and Buick and BMW...) Will a great rental car! Think of the extra room for a turbo...

2011 04 Cobra 1st 3.66:1 2.66:1 2nd 2.43:1 1.78:1 3rd 1.69:1 1.30:1 4th 1.32:1 1.00:1 5th 1.00:1 0.80:1 6th 0.65:1 0.63:1 Almost like having an extra 1st gear vs. Cobra! 2011 04 Cobra...

My buddy just got $5,200 off MSRP on a new GT500 because they're not moving due to the 2010 coming out and the bad economy. He's down in So. Cal. south of LA.

How come we virtually hear nothing about these vs. Kenne Bell & Whipple? The new ZR1 has an Eaton 2300! Is the Vortech made by Whipple?

Any thoughts on the latest-and-greatest 03/04 Cobra offerings? New 2.6 Cobra-Specific Kenne Bell VS. w140ax Whipple? Boils down to if you like more Eaton-like blower whine (Kenne Bell) vs not (Whipple)?????

Ran a brand new (no plates) Viper vert (top up) from about 70-75mph roll, me in 3rd (about 4,250-4,500rpm). I’ve dyno’ed at 404rwhp, K&N FIPK only mod. I got along side of him for a little while and he finally got the message, but this guy was “too cool” to ever look over, but eventually he...
