So my Wife and I were heading out to Chilis for dinner. My Brother was with me in the Balt and my Cousin was with my Wife in the Mustang. We are on this 2 lane road that connects the 2 main roads in our City. There was no traffic at all at this time and figured we might aswell try the roll race. We both downshift to 2nd at 40mph and my Brother tells her to go, so she goes, I go, by 100mph I'm up 4-5 cars. She shut down at 100mph because she hates speeding that fast anyways, but knew I wanted the race done. All in all I'm happy with my Balt, now I just to get some DR's or something so I can race it from a dig at the track.

Cliffs:

Read the post!!

 

good kill what numbers are both putting down

 

Havent been to the dyno with either one. But from the numbers others are putting down with their SS/TC's, I figured right around 300whp and 320wtq or so. And from what others are putting down with their 3v's with the same mods, probably around 300whp and 320wtq. I believe both cars are putting down similar numbers, but the turbo and lightweight of the SS/TC I believe that is why it beat my Mustang. From a dig my Mustang still wins mainly because of traction issues the Cobalt has.

 

Nice man!!! I've always wanted to do that too,but for me I think it would be like 4-5 lengths in favor of the Slowbra,from a roll that is,no point in going from a dig haha,of course my 'Balt has no where near 300whp either.Either way good kill lol.

 

I wouldnt mind having an 01 Cobra, but if I was gonna get a Cobra it would be an 03/04. And the 3v GT's are just as fast if not faster than the 99/01 Cobras stock for stock, and my GT isnt stock anymore.

 

Yeah well they didn't have '03s in 2001 when I bought it lol,and it ain't exactly stock either.I plan on parking an '03-'04 next to the '01 later this year providing the job dosent fall apart.

 

she shifted slow as **** into 3rd haha didn't matter though. just gotta boost the mustang now =D

 

Yeah I know what you mean!! I'll most likely be getting the 50th Anniversary Mustang in 2014, hard telling what kind of #'s the Cobra is gonna put down then.

I want a Kenne Bell!!

 

I just got the new road and track and they tested the new 2010 gt500,now with 540 hp and better[3.55] gears.0-60 4.6 sec,1/4 mile 12.9@113,how the hell did they do that,not even stock '03-'04 times.They claim they even had a ford driver drive it,complete B.S.

 

ROFL only a 12.9 that sucks dude. they probably have some skinny ass tires in the back that don't hook up worth a **** too. and that's one of the reasons why the Zo6 owns it. hey everyone PM that mod who locked the "dominated an RSX and STi today" thread and tell him to unlock it for me please. i gotta say some stuff in there. =D and everyone who was bitching which is better STi or Cobalt SS/TC stfu please. (:<

 

Well I am glad it was done. Its would have been 4-10 Bus lengths if you would have gone to 150.

I am glad you are now a believer. A few months ago, I remember you telling me, it was impossible that I beat my friends 07 GT with exhaust.

 

yeah my brother is tuned though so....

 

Stock vs stock, I believe from a roll the SS/TC and 05+ GT's are a drivers race and it would be neck and neck, but from a dig the 05+ GT's have the advantage. I ran my Brothers friends SRT-4 the other day, and he isnt stock, and he didnt beat me. I wouldnt say that I beat him, but he didnt pull on me. My Mustang is far from being heavily modded, but it isnt stock either. Like I've mentioned before, with the mods my Mustang has, I have seen other people run 12's all day long on DR's, hell I've seen guys run 12's on stock tires with the same mods I have. I have yet to go to the 1/4 mile with either car and hope to this Spring and Summer and run both cars. My Wife stopped at 100mph because shes hates going that fast anyways, and I kept going up til 125mph, and it wasnt even 10 bus lengths then and she let off at 100. I dont think it would be that many bus lengths, but I think it would have been bad. Either way I love both cars, one is great from a dig and one is great from a roll and the Mustang has much more potential.

Just give Evan Smith the damn keys and he will go low 12's guaranteed. Most 03/04 Cobras were tested at like 12.7 or so and Evan Smith ran 12.2 I believe stock.

 

Officially, I think it was 12.4 in the '03 Cobra (although he supposedly did 12.3 also).

He ran a 12.25@117 in a stock '05 GT500, IIRC. So, 40 more hp w/ a better suspension, etc, it should be knocking on the door to 11's with *great* driving, one would think.

 

Thanks for helping me out with that. I knew he got each car to run like 1/2 second faster than most.

 

No problem.

He's done the same for many other cars as well.

'03 Mach 1: 13.1
'01 Bullitt: 13.5
'99 Mustang V6: 14.9
LS1 Camaro: 12.9
'99 GT: 13.7

...the list goes on.

 

Do you know what he ran in a 3v? I know a guy on Mustangforums ran a 13.2 stock, just seeing if Evan did the same or not.

 

Off the top of my head, I seem to remember him not doing THAT much better than Motor Trend's 13.5. Meaning, he didn't blow it away with a 12.9 or something. I want to say it was ~13.3 or so.

 

Oh ok. Either way, a 13.3 and a 13.5 is pretty good. Most people around here seem to think they are about a flat 14 second car.

 

Holly crap dude can drive.

 

Yes he can!!!

 

You are right, the mustang has tons more potential. But one thing it doesn't have is the "I can't believe I just got stomped by a cobalt" factor.

 

Not in a straight line maybe (although, someone in an SS/SC might have a similar thought if I ran with one in my *V6* Mustang), but I certainly expect some Porsche's and BMW's to give me the ::whaaaaat?:: face when I'm finished building my open-track Foxbody Mustang with a 2.3L Turbo I-4 and Independent Rear Suspension.

 

As of right now my Cobalt is faster in a straight line, well from a roll anyways. From a dig at the track is a different story, because neither car catches traction very well.

 

Just remember, for every track 4 Cyl mustang, there are about 20 miata's/CRX's that are faster. And V6 Mustangs are a waste of time. My wife had one, she traded it in on a stock corolla CE, and was much happier. (I have her in an 06 GLI now.)
