Beat an 03 Cobra without even having to crank the lil Gee Tee over!

[1BadAzzGT]

I saw an 03 cobra and figured I'd see if he wanted some. He said "yes of course"... we drove back with him following to my garage. He took one look at my poor little geee tee 4.6 supercharged turd on blocks and say "naaah" I don't want none.
Just thought I'd share... beat him without even racing. LOL.

Car is just about ready to go..... :yes:

Here's a pic... she's a little dirty but almost there :)

Let me explain something to you real quick first ok? First thing is... I haven't always owned a MUSTANG and had a 92 Eagle Talon AWD TSI Turbo before the Stang. Therefore, I do know quite a bit about the boosted side as well.

Sorry that you feel that I'm not welcomed here. I tend to feel that with my background and experience (since I built my car myself), I do have plenty of knowledge to contribute.

Besides, sure this is a "Honda" site, however, ... isn't it really about cars in general and we all share the same goal ------ to go fast? Or am I mistaken?

If everyone feels that I'm not welcomed here, I'll gladly bow down and leave. I just wanted to share a little humour and this isn't my first post by any means so how about cutting me a little slack here?

hondamaniac,
Thanks for the kind words man, I do very much appreciate it. This car has been a serious work in progress and I've been tweaking things since I bought it in 98 brand new.

Take care and good luck with your ride!

Thank you,
Tim

I never said anything to knock your taste in automobiles or your car. I just find it kind of funny that mustang owners found their way to a site call HONDAstyle... I give credit where credit is due, and didn't in anyway mean for you to feel unwelcome. I didn't realize you were so sensitive.

Props on a nice stang, even though I can't stand those things.

Understand. I'm not that sensitive... I just don't care to get bashed because I drive a stang just like you don't want to be bashed for what you drive. I don't play favorites and treat everyone the same no matter what brand they decide to buy.

I come here to learn just like everyone else and have no beef with anyone nor am I bashing anyone. I genuinely just wanted another site to get involved with :yes:

[delsolvtec]

All good. Just to let you know Hondas aren't my only passion. I also own

1988 Jetta GL, (work in progress, it's quick though)
1965 Pontiac GTO, fully stock and restored
1971 Pontiac LeMans (GTO look a like)

[Dangerous Dan]

hey wanna buy some MM ss brake lines for your stang ? 40$ brand new never used .

[Accord Man]

Nice setup you have going..

Let us know how many ponies your pumping once you dyno it..

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

:bow: Nice car you have there! What kind of times do you expect to put out at the strip?

[Addict]

Nothing liek scaring them without cranking it over. :D

Props on the ride man. When is it gonna hit the track/dyno?

I don't think delsolvtec meant any harm. This is a car fanatic board. Yeah the names HondaStyle, but we love 'em all. Well most of us anyhow.;)

[Niacin]

I'll run ya.

do you have any pics of any of ur cars?... :cool:

[Racing Rice]

Congrats on the umm.. "win";)

If you do get to race one, let me know how it stacks up..:yes:

[SVT Cobra]

you sure it was an 03??
even with all your mods, a stock 03 could probably take you.
i doubt he tried racing. I'm not starting an argument at all.
03 cobra's have 425 hp at the flywheel and 370 rwhp stock with a T-56 and u have an auto. a s/c 4v is better than a 2v s/c 'ed ever will be. with just o/r pipes and a cat-back they have about 400rwhp. add a lightning blower pulley and they do mid 11's.

I was looking into getting a 99 or 00 cobra until i started reading about how they weren't making the HP ford was claiming, something about the compression being too low because of improperly made engine parts. I do like how they have independent rear suspension although they've had recalls on some of that stuff too. I'm not too impressed with ford.

where did you get those #'s? The 03 cobras make 390hp at the flywheel.

[SVT Cobra]

those numbers are in just about every factual magazine.
5.0 Mustang and Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords had dynoed the 03 bone stock at 377 rwhp. they test new mods and dyno it just about every issue. the car is VERY underrated, just like the 2000 Cobra R. they were even thinking of changing the HP rating to 425. They keep it low for insurance reasons.

[SVT Cobra]

the 99 cobra had the "power fix" problem. the car was only putting out 270hp instead of 320. they were all brought back and fixed and have a green dot on the manifold to indicate that. they also have a # on the mufflers. The IRS likes to hop on the 99's and they still had the T-45 so wasn't too impressed with it. there is no 2000 cobra. the 2001 is one of the best cobras ever made. it has the tremec transmission with all the bugs fixed from 99. it has the nicest interior too. i was lookin at one but definitly could not afford it. i am only 18 and going to school. i search my house for change just to get gas by the end of the week.

Heh.. I know that feeling......:crazy:

[mt.biker]

RESPECT!

[AzCivic]

Actually that "power fix" didn't even solve the problem, they just went around it and basically added some bolton parts and reprogrammed the ECU. There wasn't a 2000 cobra cause they hadn't fixed the problem from before, they even stopped selling the 99's for awhile. One of the reasons they probably went with supercharging this year is probably cause they had the crappy parts left ovr from 1999 causing a lower compression, so they just lowered it alittle more and threw on a blower. Why would Ford care about how much people are paying for insurance? Is there some huge jump in insurance between 390hp and 420hp?

Thank you,

your so right. im glad we're getting a wave of decent non-honda'ers here. honestly. i love having more "interaction" with our opponents, or in the case of a SC gt and a svt cobra.. our dominators. i know im into the car scene. not import, not honda, not domestic, just pure all around driving/performace. for me, i'd rather have my car running good times for its mods, then having so much hp that i can run 11's but its crazy. 11's will get me arrested. i have a problem backing down from people who call me out, and i think it would happen too much with a 11 second car.

[AzCivic]

I just have a problem with domestic owners coming on here just to say their car is faster than a Honda and that spending money on a 4banger is a waste and BS like that. When will they learn that you don't need 8 cylinders to go fast???? And when will they get a life and stop coming onto import sites just to start crap?

[VR4_Craver]

Dont get me wrong you definetly have a nice car there :bow:

But still you have to admit: Mustangs are like asshole's...evryones got one. ;)

I understand it was a joke, but the fact of the matter is some people take it personally which fuels unneeded discussion. ;)

[delsolvtec]

If anyone were to take that too personally on a message board then they have issues. It was also directed at the biggest trouble maker on this board who never has anything useful to say and ALWAYS fuels unneeded discussions.

I know it was, thats when it became useless. Why dont we all just stop arguing like little kids and get on with life? The more people give in to what someone says the more those kind of people will just keep going. If you just let people talk and ignore them they wont keep talking. :rolleyes:

If they do, the mods will take care of it. But if you sit there and keep putting fuel on the fire its just going to keep going and going.

IT IS POINTLESS!

So just ignore it.

Because there are other people in here just as bad as you. And just think.. They dont even drive domestic cars. :rolleyes:

the evo vii is gonna be one badass car.. Especially with that price tag..


Though, they are sweet, becaus of the constant reliability issues rising with DSM, I doubt I'll be getting one.


The current model WRX really attracts me.. If only they could come stock with bigger turbos..

Do you even own a VR4? Because the transmission on one is about $4000 when they break.

They are not factual.. He tried claiming that the new Si's only have 125 hp in another post a few weeks back.

[drdingo21]

yea those numbers are waaaay off. the make 305 and 300 lbs of torque. and because SVT is an asshole here are some websites..
site 1 (http://www.fast-autos.net/ford/mysticcobrainfo.html)
site 2 (http://www.carmemories.com/cgi-bin/viewexperience.cgi?experience_id=430) should i get more?

[drdingo21]

SVT i misread the post you wrothless ****. I belive it was you that said "excuse i made a mistake" and look what you do. You really are a **** that thinks they know it all.

*edited by 94_AcCoRd_EX * :rolleyes:

However im on my own and both my truck and my car i paid for noone else. Stop being a worthless **** and leave this forum. You have to be one of the dumbest ****s that i have ever talked to. did you know those numbers were from a 96?
