So I did my X-pipe install with a few friends (Still have a leak on Pass side) after we finished we all went out for a little cruise. My best friend has a 2012 5.0, Boss intake, O/R X, CAI, PYPEs exhaust and a Tune, (1st run) we pull in 3rd and slowly but surely I yank a fender on him, then I have a retard moment :loser: I ATTEMPT to go into 4th and go into 2nd, but i jumped on the clutch ASAP. (2nd run) So we both jump into 3rd again doing 45MPH, rip on it and i get him with that same fender, THIS time I actually grab 4th and pull out to put him at my back bumper, and we let out of it at about 120. Now i got him wanting twin turbo's :rolling: Good bit of fun.

Who runs 3rd gear in a 5.0 at 45 mph?

Yeah, even a 3.73 car I would imagine second from that roll being a bit more efficient.

But anyways, Good kill either way!!

I met a kid who just bought a o4 cobra. And he either had that thing modified by te previous owner. Or he went to town on everything when he purchased it, from heat exchange, pulley, intercooler, and a few other things not sure if he was a ported blower or not.. Though I'm sure he's got a bit more power to the tires, either way I'm excited for my first terminator encounter. We're hopefully set to run Tuesday and we'll get that on the go pro. So stay tuned to video & pic buffet ;)

Also running a heads/cams G8 which is a 121/2 car so should be and interesting Tuesday.

Sounds like a close race. Who's tune is he running?

Bama's with that Ghost cam

Agreed sounds like someone who doesn't know their car well, or he was giving his buddy here a chance.

we were on the freeway so i think he didnt want to go into 2nd im not sure to be honest but I'll tell him, I Hope he did give me a "baby gift" lol

The bama cam tune on the 5.0s add no power just for sound from what i'm told. I tried it no difference in power. I run the 93 race tune and love it.



You wouldn't happen to be around the east,tx area would you?

Who runs a terminator in 3rd gear at 45? Doesn't really matter. They were both in 3rd and should have been in 2nd

Note taken..thx

That's what I was thinking. lol.

Still the Cobra would hold an obvious advantage over a N/A Coyote running from that speed in 3rd seeing as how it makes noticeably more lowend torque and a much broader curve.

It does matter comparing a FI to a NA motor.

From what I read on here, a full bolt on 5.0, cj or boss intake, etc, is a 10 second car, keep up with a 2013GT500 from a roll, beat z06's and will put bus lengths on a pullied cobra. Im not trying to be sarcastic. This is what I read from the members on here. so if the 5.0 is that much of a beast and both were in 3rd gear, what does it matter?
