Man you need to stfu about how "badass" camaros are, I garentee your automatic camaro will never reach 13.2 in the 1/4 mile, i'd like to see the stick do it. Mustangs infact will blow your camaro up, I dont care were you seen the 03 cobra runnin low 13's but ive seen right in front of my face a 03 cobra turn down a 12.628@ 113.82 MPH at my local 1/4 track. Lets see your "Camaro" blow the "Little Pony" off the road now....

Yeah man, I agree, we shouldn't pay out Fords because our local mechanics rely on them for business....

lol. Yeah. Its really funny how ford needs to supercharge everything to be faster then the GM Cars. Hell, even SVT almost filed for bankruptcy. The only NON Supercharged (SVT Focus) was a total 16 second dud. And dont be a pussy and say "oh the mustang only has a 4.6" If for was so fucking great, they would have put the 5.4 in it like the Cobra R. But, i guess their too cheap to do that. And, actually it depends where you live. I mean, if you set a drag strip up in death vally the LS1 could easily cut 12.6. Put a track up in colorado and watch it run 13.9

The Cobra R DOES have a 5.4 in it, Also in 95 they had a 5.8 liter in it. So i guess the fact that they are "Supercharged" means there bad? For could easyily make a 500HP N/A 5.4 or even a 4.6 liter. If everything that wasnt N/A was bad that rules out most of the cars you see on the road today....

Well, mike, have you decided if your changing the wheels on it? IMHO, I wouldn't, if you do, use the 35th wheels or get some workmeisters.

[CamaroSSBoy346]

no, im keeping the stock rims after all

I don`t want to get into a Ford/GM debate because I like both F-Bodies and Mustangs. But a 6 spd LS1 will easily run 13.2, and it is not out out of reach for an automatic. I know because my `01 Trans Am and my `99 Firehawk both ran it stock, with traction problems. The `01 hit 111mph, and would easily be in the 12`s with a set of drag radials. This was at Cecil County Raceway which is very close to sea level. And as far as the Cobra, they will be pretty close to a `01-`03 SS/Firehawk in acceleration. There is more parasitic loss because of the IRS in the Cobra, plus the hp figures for the f-bodies are underated (many dyno at 310+ *at the rear wheels*) so it pretty much equals out. But I think both cars are great cause they both have V8`s.

"but ive seen right in front of my face a 03 cobra turn down a 12.628@ 113.82 MPH at my local 1/4 track. "

I've seen 3 O3 cobras in my area. Never saw one at the track, let alone a pre 03 cobra. I guess cobra owners are to afraid to race lol j/k

Anyways, heres progress. To say the least its not comming out to well. The stance is wrong even though it was lowered 1.5 MM, the front wheels have too much of a camber, lost one of the wheels, got the super glue acid/fog on my front windshield; now i cant get it out, and the putty cracked.



then i accidently put orange paint on the wrong side (supposed to be at bottom; me being lazy and just using the refrance pics on box)

Mike, dipite those problems, I might have to build one like that as good as it's looking.

That doesn't really matter. He's not saying that their bad. What he's trying to say is that GM has a N/A, and then Ford has to supercharge everything to beat GM. If they took that supercharger off of there and had it N/A against N/A, the Mustang would get smoked.
I think you should drop this GM vs. Ford crap. Big deal, you like Ford's, he likes Chevy. WOW!!! Lets go and fight on the internet about it, and guess what? Not lead anywhere. WOW!!! So interesting.

Mike: Are you going to paint the roof black like the real one, or just leave it silver?

[86_SR5]

Mike, btw, this just crossed my mind, how'd you do the roof? The 35th is soft top.
