lt1 vs 99cobra
- Thread starter mrbigjeep
- Start date
what did you run him to? low end is a completely different story...i could hang just fine with him in first and second gear...its when we high higher speeds (3rd gear) that he pulls hard...in other words, if you can do a dig run and jump out (which i should do with 4.10's) then you should have a better outcome...i wannad do a low first gear roll with him. i'm hopin that would put me around even at 100mph...or maybe a car back.
to the guy who asked where i'm located...i'm in greenville on the weekends...actually up in easley a bit to see my girlfriend...but this race was in mooresville, nc...right above charlotte. i am there during the week for school
No problem?
:bored:
I'd put my money on an LT1 Firehawk anyday.
An LT1 SS and Ram Air Formula/T|A would be side by side with one.
No problem? In your dreams Cobra boy.
i've never seen a LT1 go 13.30s at 105 stock...but i saw my 01 Cobra go 13.3X at 105 4 times in a row when i raced at FFW in Epping NH...i was even on the stock BFGs
I'll admit the air was REAL good that day and helped but in average air my car 13.40s at 104-105...I have never seen or heard of for that matter of a stock Lt1 doing that 13.70s at 101-102 yes
also the post fix 99s tend to make a hair more power than the 01s
so what now optispark boy?

Like I said, stock LT1s are a joke. They are more along the lines performance wise of a 2v 96-04 GT.
I'll even let you prove my point...
You say your driving skills are very good yet you only can pull a STOCK LS1 Camaro with 2 people in it by 2 carlengths...
Well, I had no classes or work today, so i decided to go to the bank for some cash and look for a nice run in between. After all, I haven't really raced anybody as of late and was itchen for some fun. You guys know.. the "itch".
Well traffic was busy all over Henrietta, so I took the highway home( 390, 65mph ), which is 3 lanes, I was kind of getting irrated I had not seen anybody who would want to run in town, so I decided to try my luck on the highway.
Well low and behold about 4 miles away from my exit this Black Formula LS1 pulls onto the highway ( dont know what year , id guess 98-00 ) about 100 feet ahead of me. He doesnt notice me until I pull up next to him and give him a small rev ( which with a LM is a small touch of the gas)
Im pretty sure he was stock. Stock rims, stock dual exhaust, timid exhaust tone..etc.
It was an older guy probably early 30's, with his wife/Gf.
Traffic halted us from a side by side duel, and I was in the left lane, he was in the middle, and the right lane was packed.
In front of us, there was no real clear spot to race from.
He got behind me and followed me through the gaps until I seen a good opening. There was no way we were racing two lanes.
I waited for him to ride my bumper, then I dropped the hammer.
I took off and had a small jump, and when I was taking off he couldn't catch me. But I had the Hit.
Again ahead of us, traffic filled the lanes so i slammed of my brakes, and he anticipated this, so when I dug into it again, his momentum was better, and came right up on me... I punched it, but couldnt pull on him until I got some momentum of my own.
I made some lanes changes, but I was carefu.
When I finally got him side by side for a run, I had about 1-2 cars on him, and he had the hit on me.
We had a couple nice runs, and i gave him the thumbs up when I pulled over into my exit lane, and he gave me the peace sign, and his wife/Gf has a big smile on her face.
The guy was really cool about it, and we both parted our ways.
Its nice to see that kind of reaction from a fellow Fbody owner.
The amazing thing is ( LS1 guys are gonna love this ) is that his car was stock and I was still only putting around 2 cars on him, not even.
But the Burnzilla took the checkered flag today
So I guess its safe to say your car is about even stock for stock with a 96-98 Cobra or a 2v GT.
And you can barely pull on a older M3. :lol:
Oh and I can't leave out the beating a CIVIC by a few carlengths.

Its alittle funny you go on and on about your driving skills yet you always seem to "spin alittle". LOL Can I have driving lessons? How much do they cost?

if a stock ss lt1 can be side by side with a 99/01 cobra then its as fast as an ls1...because my buddies stock lt1 got pulled 2 lengths easy by my buddies cobra (as the vid shows)...just like an ls1 would do. so if an ss lt1 would be even with the cobra then it should be as fast as an stock ls1...that makes no sense...
An LT1 eats the 2V all day long.
Your bringing up a race that I won between an M3 with my stock LT1?
:lol1:
Its pretty sad when the super Mustang Cobra has trouble with a stock 1993 T56 Z28.

Burnzilla..just post your track slips stock and your modded ones and lets get this over with... slips or ban.
on what planet?? there both slow in stock form neither one "eats" the other one
Agreed
I guess running .2 tenths faster constitutes "eating" something? Not in my book.
.2 tenths is is BEST possible outcome for the Mustang.
A T56 LT1 would MURDER an auto 2V, just like an auto LT1 would MURDER an auto 2V.
The only ones that are within '2 tenths' are the 5speeds, and even they have trouble with the auto Fbodies.
The big bad 32V Cobra would has trouble against a SS LT1 M6.
Are they in the same category? Yes.
Youre convincing yourself otehrwise if you disagree and thats pretty pathetic if you ask me, when you can't even admit the truth about the cars you love. I know my LT1 cars haven't been world ending powehouses, but I can admit the truth.
My current low option, 1995 HT Z28 ran 13.89 @ 99 with a K&N fiilter, Mobil 1 and new 245/50 Goodyear GTII's.
On that same pass, an auto 1996 Mustang GT (unknown mods) pulled a high 14.
Ive put on a couple more things since then.

Posted on 04-09-2006 "I have an Moroso CAI, 52MM Holley and SLP Loudmouth with Hooker Tips.
Like the Title says, what am I missing?
Are headers bolt ons?
a 52 MM throttle body bolts on, does that count?"

Nice try man. Its ok that your automatic LT1 is slow...try trading it for a LS1 F-body. Atleast then you can keep up with the Mach 1's and toy around with the bigger boys if you wanted to.
Did I just own you? :uh oh:
that was the outcome i expected
All the smack talk and your example is a lightly modded car (K&N and who knows what else) running a 13.89 @ 99mph.... bwahahahaha
Wow.
:lol::lol::lol: My bone stock 2v trapped 100 so i guess lt1's are slower than 2v's! Your crazy if you think stock for stock a lt1 is faster than a 99/01 cobra!:nonono::bash: I ran alot of lt1's in my 2v and they are good runs for a 99-04 2v!
