Hey guys I just signed on here because a friend of mine is a moderator on here. He has a pretty bad *** porsche and made me feel slow. Here's a vid of a friendly race we had a few weeks ago.

My car traps in the mid 130's and when his boost hit in 3rd, it made me feel like I was driving an escort! Haha Sorry for the shaky vid, but it's hard while riding in a stick car.
My car is an 03 Cobra with a 2.2L KB making 18#'s, Viper sped T-56, and a built solid axle. I put 608hp and 551 ft lbs of torque down the last time I dyno'd.

 

Nice video! Those turbos just reeled you in!

I'd like to see you and Shank battle it out with his C6 Z06.

 

Thanks. Who's Shank?

 

Owner of the site... Red C6 Z06, the one you saw in the video with the 2 Cobras.

Better yet, he should pull out his boosted mobile, to make it fair... TT Ford GT

 

Well you got the jump!! His name wouldn't start w/ D and end in xtreme would it??

 

who was the mod?

EDIT: think you're right tkdalumni

 

I think it only looked like it because The porsche bogged pretty bad.
It's a good possibilty that my friend with the Porsche is a squid! Haha

 

Welcome to 6speed. That is one bad *** Mustang.
I looks like Scott stalled the car at the start there, did you guys run them again?
His car usually leaves most cars looking like they are standing still.

 

Oh got ya. My car is a bit lighter than most 03 Cobra's. Along with getting rid of the heavy IRS, I also have a UPR tubular K member and A-arms to save about another 70-80#'s The last time at the track with my Race wheels and tires on, the car weighed 3435#'s. Most 03-04's are around 3700-3800#'s stock. The wheels probably save about 100#'s from the street wheels. Now if only I didn't weigh 250#'s myself, I would be doing even better!

 

Thanks. He didn't stall, but it was a good bog. We didn't race again that day, but I had the great dis pleasure of doing a couple 40-130 races with him in the past. There definately aren't too many cars that can instantly put 5 cars on me from a 40 roll, but he sure did!

 

With that K-Member, makes getting headers in and out of that thing MUCH easier.

Keep stripping that bad boy down and get her to about 3000#.

 

Ya, I did the Bassani mid length's and K member at the same time. I don't think I would want to do headers without one! Haha The only other thing I plan to do to lighten it is get some Corbeau's to drop another 70-80#'s. If I drop any more, It won't be a comfortable street car anymore.

 

Sure it would. Consider STOCK your car was a Cow, and at 3000# or less, you are now an agile cheetah.

 

Welcome, Shane. Very good to see you here, bro.

 

Thanks. You back in town yet?
