yeah, most ppl could care less about mpg...but its nice to have..its just crazy a car that fast is able to achieve great mpg
I think its crazy GM has managed to keep the car so light, and yet so affordablemustangbee said:yeah, most ppl could care less about mpg...but its nice to have..its just crazy a car that fast is able to achieve great mpg
I mean if you have a 50 lb object and a 5000lb object which one is easier to push? Now perhaps thats dumbing it down to much, as the "energy" to get the objects started is different than in keeping it in motion, but it has an effect no the less.

Captain Beyond said:I believe the Z06's top speed is 198 mph. GT's top speed is 205 mph as per Ford. It is electronically limited by it's computer. I believe it went as fast as 213 during testing at Nardo. :burnout:
satx said:212 MPH is at redline in the GT......with different gearing the GT would go faster. The GT has much more power than the Z06 which due to the weight doesn't show as much (at least in a short race like1/4). Line the cars up on the highway and you'd see what an extra 100 HP at the tires does for ya! By the way it is not all about Cd but also frontal area which is probably much lower in the GT given it's lack of height.
fordification said:kind of interesting. a frontal area difference of 2.2ft. and alot of that in re-routed through the rad and expelled out the hood, and diverted around the windshield.

heres one Z06 with stage 3 cam that made 554rwhp on stock tune with Kooks headers, and they added a 150shot.
made 708rwhp, no tune! the graph looks pretty choppy so a tune will likely clean that up and make big gains. these cars are gonna be insane. a 150 shot on a stocker with headers will do 600rwhp.

6 PSI pulley swap + tune on a GT did 100 rwhp at the wheels increase, on stock filters, stock longblock, and stock exhaust. Thats 640 rwhp with at least another 100 rwhp on the table from a cam swap, rear exit headers, and intake. Then we look at boring the block some for more displacement and then match the head porting up as well. If you think the LS7 is corked then lol...

WhippleBlowJob said:Guess it just goes to show what you can do with a good motor and the proper installation methods. Put that against you little GT....
WhippleBlowJob said:I was JOKING about the nitrous and F/I thing.

WhippleBlowJob said:There is HEAVY rivalry when it comes to Ford and Chevy trucks as well, so I have to TRY to appreciate the Cobra and with the way some of you Ford people are....its not proving to be very easy to be part of the Ford way of life.
WhippleBlowJob said:You could at LEAST aknowledge my giving credit on a job well done with the Cobra.
A tuner just did a 67rwhp/48rwtq increase on cams only, on the same dyno. 03 cobra.Orr89rocz said:what have some 03-04 terminators do with cams?
Orr89rocz said:whose gonna go thru that process anyway?
Orr89rocz said:but to compare a motor built to be naturally aspirated to a motor with forged internals for boosted applications, thats not fair.
Orr89rocz said:compare a forged Ls7 to 5.4 GT and it should get interesting.
Orr89rocz said:lingenfelter already made 1000hp on a Ls2 C6 vette.
WhippleBlowJob said:Well douchebag.....when someone attacks something that you are fond of (the Ford GT) and then admits afterwards that they were joking....and you still feel the need to bash them in return.....kinda shows a hint of "little penis syndrome". You seem to have a chip on your shoulder and it makes you feel big to talk shit to people on the "internet". I'm not really worried about it however. I already gave credit to the GT and that still was not good enough for you. Seems to me like you feel the need to defend your precious GT as if you give a shit what my opinion of it really is....and the fact that you are "wasting your time" with me....also in turn shows me that I DO get under your skin, otherwise you wouldn't have even responded to my previous statements. I'm not trying to fight with you and your persisting is immature. But if that's how you would like to live....go right on ahead. You are in NO way making me feel or look bad to anyone. And you certainly are not making yourself look cool. But if it helps with your self-esteem tapes and it makes you feel like more of a man, have at it bro. Look, ill even give you some help....YOU ARE SO COOL MAN...(bears repeating).

Maybe you are directing your repremand in the wrong direction?
