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...

New issue asks what is best sports car (new or used) for 25K and they list the following: NEW - Mazda MX-5 Miata and Volkswagen GTI 91-94 Acura NSX 02-06 BMW M3 01-04 Corvette Z06 04-06 Dodge Ram SRT10 pickup 99-02 Mercedes AMG E55 89-94 Porsche 911 94-98 Toyota Supra Turbo Um, how...

Anyone interested? $26,500?? ‘04 fire red Cobra, completely stock except for K&N FIPK, 15K miles, garage kept always, often covered, Southern California car, barely seen rain, just on second set of tires, basically mint, kids complain of new car smell – they think it’s toxic. Never pullied...

Has anybody done a 2.8" pulley without a tune? (Just colder plugs gaped down.) I have nothing but a K&N FIPK and made 404 RWHP, but want more. A local shop said the stock tune is both rich and conservative about timing, and that many tuners actually advance the timing when doing a pulley swap...

2nd encounter of the day: Mercedes AMG S55, pulled up alongside on the freeway, traffic was prohibitive and we did a short 4th gear blast but it was too short to tell, felt even (but at least he’s game). Anyway, it finally opens up and we’re in 3rd gear territory and we go. Had to shut down...

Ran into an immaculate red with white stripes older (400hp) Viper on the freeway and just kind of drove next to him for a while (and did a throttle roll). The traffic opened up and he decided to “show me” what he could do, so our race started as a follow-the-leader kind of thing at probably...

The guy who owns a local Goodyear dealer is also a Cobra nut, had/has an 03/04 600RWHP all out track car. Just sold me some Kumo’s… He has a new Shelby with full length headers and some Borla mufflers, all custom made, and extensive engine tuning, courtesy of Ford racing. Somehow they are...

Kind of wrong forum but GT 500 forum didn't work: The guy who owns a local Goodyear dealer is also a Cobra nut, had/has an 03/04 600RWHP all out track car. Just sold me some Kumo’s… He has a new Shelby with full length headers and some Borla mufflers, all custom made, and extensive engine...

Just taking my wife shopping when we come up behind black bad-ass SRT-8 Charger, got next to them just to admire the car. Mid fifty something driver with what I think was his twenty something son. I pull away hard in 4th and slow back down (he has a car in front and couldn’t do anything and...

My escort is detecting POP radar more and more often, but I never see a cop. What's the deal?

What is the quietest cat-back for 03/04 Cobra? I just put down 404rwhp with just a K&N FIPK and I’m ready for a cat back. Had a centrifugally blown 5.0 when younger with off-roads and MAC, and that was way too much. Is the “old man” Borla non-stingers the quietest? I’m keeping the cats...
