aah.. yeah, you'd need 800" for that :)


mwahah! i love gm! an excerpt from their site about jeg coughlin's monster cavalier. that's right, with the same motor you can get in a brand new cavalier. where's ford's 850+ hp 2.0 zetec? lol. i'm sure it could happen, with a lot of effort, but the thought of a zx2 with 850 hp is for some reason more amusing than a cavalier :)

You have any clue what it cost Jeg and his family to win that championship? Try 3 million.

bahaha... i don't doubt it. that car alone has got to be VERY pricey... espcecially that motor. he's probably glad i buy some parts from him. but he needs to send me a new hat, my old one is getting pretty damn worn.

Vette's are the biggest over rated pieces of shit on the planet. My Stage 3 Roush Swallows Vette's.

If I won a Vette I would sell it and buy a real car :)

:thumbsup :thumbsup

but i bet a stage II ligenfelter vette would eat a stage 3 roush. at least on the salt flats, if nothing else :)

Please post pics and timeslips.
Thx.

P.S. while I am still here...when is the last time Ford built a Roush Mustang? Your program you are promoting must suck if that is all you can afford. :1orglaugh

Number1Thumb, i hate people like u... i mean who gives a shit about ur gay ford which got no style, no look, cheap, fucking unreliable car (go look costumer reports), no comfort, i can go on forever and you THINK u cool in it? lol. Also dont diss imports, cuz they will eat ur little ford alive, ever saw what can be done to supra's on a stock internals ?if not go look... btw they will beat ur stang plus you can ride in it not walk home after urshit breaks

Are you under the impression that the same division that makes the beater ford pickups and mini vans is working on the GT40? I do not think this is the case. They have oodles of money, who is to say they cannot produce a good high end car as well as any company.

No I do not have dyno sheets scanned, I tried to find them in a thread in the past and I wasnt able too, dyno was 363rwhp stock with 250 miles on it, I'm sure a few ponies have been gained since the breakin.

At a fordchips dyno day in Denver a bone stock 03 Cobra dynoed 385rwhp, verified bone stock by 3 of the tuners. That is more then enough of a power advantage to nullify the weight difference, don't you think?

Car currently ran a best of 12.53, 2 weeks ago, with about $1300 in mods (most of it on stainless exhaust - Magnaflow for life) - and I admit that I am not the best stick driver, I am used to racing autos. How many miles was on yours? Basing from the averages that I have seen (from the Mustang club I am a member of) they seem to be dynoing around 369rwhp on average, some weaker some stronger).

I'm sorry but a C5 Vette more then likely dynos around 325rwhp (Basing this off estimation, since LS1, LS6, etc are usually under rated), and it does have a aero dynamic and weight advantage, which makes it pretty damn close. IBoth are stock high 12 second cars.

But stock for stock, ON MY EXPERIENCES OBSERVING AT THE TRACK, 03 cobras are beating C5's more often then not. Your mileage may vary. The point is the Ford GT is not meant to compete with vettes, because they are not even remotely in the same class. I know a Z06 vette is faster, but a C5 isn't.

mods mods mods...fuck you loser!
Post STOCK dyno numbers of the feared 2003 Cobra. STOCK dyno numbers! :1orglaugh

because, how many unreliable cars you see produced by bmw,acura,mb,audi,etc? now how many by ford,chev,etc ? the ratio becomes huge, now how the fuck will they produce another car when all(most) their products suck ? simple example, you suck at making websites, now you want to make amazing one with complicated java and php scripts, you think you will finish it right /? also i've read about their high end cobra svt to being discontinued due to many problems

Dude that is such bullshit, my old 5.0 had 147,000 miles on it with zero problems and only regular maint and spark plug changes. Wow that is super unreliable.

And rofl, CONSUMER REPORTS? You base your opinions on cars from magazines where 90% of the info is contributed by soccer moms? WTF.

I remember reading consumer reports regarding a Trans AM WS6 a while back and some of the complaints were that it was too noisy - i mean wtf?

I have respect for some imports, as long as they don't try to make their car look like it came straight out of the fast and the furious. But he's right, big ass wings that probably at 25 lbs of weight on FWD cars? Totally retarded.

I would rather own a Mustang, Camaro, Trans Am, Cobra, Vette and the likes then some "LANCER EVO" or "WRX STi".. or any luxury car. They are fun, fast and raw. I don't want heated leather seats, I don't want voice activated crap, I don't want a 4,500 pound piece of shit that can go over railroad tracks at 60 and feel like it is floating on clouds.

baahahah... i can respect a well-done import. not the kind with the fake exhaust and the speed-adding apc stickers.

as fast as supras are, they are not going to beat a big block ford like he's got. 8.30 on a mostly stock-motored supra? a supra with a stock bottom end, even if by some miracle (or 500hp nitrous) will NOT be reliable, and it will most likely blow something after a few runs.

i can get to 10.5 in my mazda truck reliably, and cheaply. maybe even to 10. but getting into the 9's, it's no longer going to stay reliable.

and, i can build a big block chevy motor on $2000 and blow the doors off most imports with $10000 invested. oh crap, that motor will be reliable, too. what do you think i could do to that BBC with $10000? about the tune of 800-900 horsepower.

there is NO replacement for displacement.

i love toyotas, and hate fords, but that was a very ignorant comment. that's the kind of person i see here in town with a fake vtec civic trying to race a vintage stingray, or a muscle car with a 6-71 out the hood.

yeah, i've seen a stock neon with one slight modification be put to the 10's. but that one modification was 500hp of nitrous, and it lived for 3 runs, then blew.

I did, not the chart, but If you think I'm lying feel free to look at the other 1500 people who have posted similar dyno sheets. I don't have mine on my computer, sorry.

But regardless, there is something you need to understand. SVT created a car for tuners and racers, and put it out of the factory with much less power then it is capable of to keep insurance costs and other red tape down. Have you seen the gains simply by removing the air silencer? You have to respect 450rwhp for what little it costs to get there.

Bottom line is put up or shut up. That is directed to the Ford fanatics.... :Graucho
And I am talking STOCK. Why do all the ford guys have to jump into car threads with what their MODDED cars can do vs. STOCK cars? :1orglaugh

New GT. Aren't they only building 3? Is it faster than 3.9 seconds 0-60 like this?

http://www.adult.com/lens/newviper.jpg

The dyno # is stock. The track time is not, i modded my car very soon so I do not have stock track times because I did not go to the track until 1500 miles.

How is it put up or shut up? I'm assuming that 03 isn't yours and you just found it on the net, how about you search for the rest that are not dynoing unusually low? (Aka, something that was not dynoed at 6000 feet altitude).

Post timeslips, 1/4 mile times, stock dyno sheets etc.
Until then, put up or shut up.
This thread is getting tedious........and boring.
Post a stock Cobra doing 450 rwhp with an air fuddy removed. :1orglaugh

A-Fucking men.

yeah, the ls1 is worth over 450hp without hardly any mods, and no computer changes. gm holds back quite a bit here. i don't think changing an airfilter will add 65rwhp, but then again maybe it's the most absolutely restrictive air filter on the planet.

i agree about soccer moms and lancer and wrx with u... but im not talking about your car, i'm talking about general production.... lets say if u take 1000 hondas or bmw or audi and 1000 fords and drive them up to 200,000km, i can bet anything that much more imports or german cars will come there then ford, see my point ? about wrx i agree it's a peice of shit with pink sti logo BUT they are quick 300hp from intercooled engine with 4 wheel drive system.

3 this year to commemorate the 100th anniversary, nobody knows how many they will actually make though.

And I hope your question wasn't a 'jab' at the GT40 because I specifically remember you in a past GT thread stating "Remember this thread, I will own one".

By the way, rumor is that they are looking at more like 590horsepower instead of the projected 500, so I'm assuming faster then 3.9 is not out of the question if the rest of the car is engineered well.

If they're fast, available, and servicable, I'll get one. Those are my only three criteria.

Wtf? I didn't say the air filter gave that kind of gains, but people have dyno proven 10rwhp from removing an air silencer, while that doesnt show a lot it gives you some idea of how the engine is breathing through a straw.

But yeah, I know LS1's are wicked, but I do consider new cams past the 'hardly any mods' stage and I don't think most people can get a LS1 that high N/A without cams.

I love the LS1 engine mind you, I just get tired of the perpetual insult ford threads by elitists =)

i hate those ppl too with fake stickers who think they got a hot car (civic).. about supras, they can get into 8's with no nitrous... if you think the more horse power the better u're wrong... i bet u that 600hp supra will eat 700-800hp stang in1/4 mile anyday, it's about right hookup anddriver...

WTF, never said anything about a air silencer getting to 450rwhp. Why do you assume I am lying about cobra times and dyno sheets? If you believe I'm lying so much feel free to do some research on the subject, or go to the track and watch.

bullshit. yeah, for a time american cars may not have been as reliable as a 70's honda cvcc, but that's not the case anymore.

i've seen proof. nice cars, shitty cars, whatever. i sold american cars. i had an old chevy celebrity, was my first car, and try as hard as i could, i could not make that car die. i went way over oil changes every time. once i went about 18000 miles without an oil change. no shit, one of my friends bought the stupid piece of shit and she's still driving it. most reliable car i've probably owned. always started, and it was WAY cheaper than an import to fix. same with my other domestics. quite reliable, and when they did break, i spent 1/3-1/2 of what i spent to fix an import.

$400 for a timing belt? fuck that, i've got a CHAIN.

with today's design, and even moderately decent maintenance, a car will live a long time. 100k miles is nothing. wonder why they started putting the extra digits on the odometer? that's why.

poorly maintain any car, and it will degenerate rapidly. especially a vw.

Oh I agree it's true, a lot of ford cars have in the past had piss poor reliability, but IMO most of the Mustangs and Mustang based cars are overall built much better then almost all of fords other cars. I also think American cars have made huge leaps in reliability in the past 5-10 years.

I believe a lot of complains about American cars come from people who buy sub 10k cars and are amazed that the quality is not the same as a 30k+ car.

As for german and japanese cars lasting longer, I wouldn't know I have never owned one ;) I do respect most cars, it's the owners that piss me off -_-

Ya ok, my buddy has a supra and is puttin a head gasket on it every week. No boost NO power. Plain and simple. Straight six aint gonna cut it loser

you see, the only looser here is you who thinks u got hot car which is FORD @! open your fucking eyes

http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/merchant/8sec.shtml
this will eat ur gayass ford anyday

1200rwhp. 6 cylinders. No NOS.

i swear i would take acura 3.2 type s over ur 8sec peice of shit

you think you can make a supra hook better than a mustang? hardly. the mustang is much more suspension-mod friendly. and where the hell do you find 90/10 drag shocks and springs for a supra? how do you fit 10 or 12" slicks under a supra without cutting it all sorts of up? how's a manual supra going to shift better than an automatic with a strip kit?

i'd rather have 250 hp in my truck than the 85 the factory rates it for. i'd say that's better.


a little history on the ls1. gm originally introduced 4 versions of the engine, ranging from 450hp to 600hp. the 600hp model was named the "coffin" version, for what reasons i do not know. i believe this was the motor that is used in the c5r race car, but i can't verify that (btw, you can order all the parts for the c5r, unassembled, if you want one - for i think about $125k).

i am under the impression a cam change is not necessary for the 450hp. i may be wrong, but everything i've read/heard is "minor modifications" - which i would not classify as a cam change, either. basically, i understood it that the breathing on both ends of that motor is fairly awful. opening up the air intake system, and helping out the exhaust will add a ton. the factory exhaust manifolds are fairly decent on the lsX, but they could still use help.


hey, since we're talking about factory perfomance bullshit, anyone hear about gm's crazy crate motor? it's supposed to go in the cien. dunno if it did. i believe it is a northstar, v12, that is about the _same physical size_ as a v8. 750 emissions-legal horsepower. yeah.

lol.. hard to believe i, of all people, am sticking up for a ford.

Wicked:thumbsup

Post timeslips of ANYTHING you drive, including your moped, or shut the fuck up. Look up realist in the dictionary....you met one.

ford produces roushe mustangs today.
http://www.roushperf.com/mustanghome.htm

hey i got no problem with u, its that peiece of shit who has to diss everyone because he owns ford and can't afford anything else, so he HAS to PROVE to everyone that it's BETTER, BUT it's NOT !!!!!!!!!

Please post the timeslips of the one you drive, pics would help.

Ok the supra barely cracked into the 8's? Im over 6/10ths faster as is? I dont see the point. Besides the massive money he spent on that supra. And if you think its reliable your lost in space my friend No mid 8sec car is reliable.:321GFY

i didn't say it reliable, was talking about general products

41 fucking psi? i don't think even the few turbo funny cars are running that. 25 maybe. put 41psi on a v8 :). you can no longer argue import reliability at 41 psi of boost, that thing needs a rebuild every weekend.



a note on the supra head gaskets... you might want to look for an exact number, but, if you over-torque the bolts, that is known to fix many a head gasket woes. i've heard countless people doing that, and it working reliably. i almost bought a supra, so i did the research. over torque the bolts, the head gasket won't blow anymore. :warning

And the massive money you spent to get your piece of shit car into the 8's, assuming it is even true. Idiot....There are plenty of TT supras DAILY DRIVEN that would embarass your hat on backward ass. hahaha.......

you're probably not familiar with the eternal ford vs. chevy rivalry.


and hey, what's wrong with spending $30k on a 15year-old american muscle car to make it very fast, and very nice? :Graucho

I love how you are a realist because you are preaching about a car you don't own and care nothing about.

I'm not trying to prove to you that I own the car or what I ran, I'm trying to fucking tell you what it is capable of, I could care less about impressing some self righteous retard on GFY.

Well regardless, this is my last reply to you, because while you may think your dissaproval or disbelief matters.. it doesn't =)

Hope to meet you at the track some day!

where is your car?
your sig speaks miles about you.
yo
:1orglaugh

eh, gotta disagree with that. i don't think you can make a car in the low 8's reliable, unless it's that new 1001hp 0-180 in under 8 seconds or whatever bugatti. most cars out there just won't do it, unfortunately.

listen man, nothing wrong, every person has it's own taste, but there are some people who just have to fucking showoff and start talking shit. It's obvious that his stang IS fast but it's also IN the shop which says it all....

Man the guy who does my aluminum fabrication is the engineer at Greddy. Any ricer knows who Greddy is. The head gaskets have and always be the biggest problem for the turbo/blown ricers. Not to mention front wheel drive ricers. How many cv axles do you guys bring to the track every weekend. If your not breakin cv axles your SLOW

A-fuckin'-men!
