are you serious? theyre that slow? I never bothered to race one just becaus I figured there wasnt any point...Will a SL really give, oh say a 95 stock v8 musatang, good competition? Does that count for both GT's and Cobra's?

Doesn't count for a cobra. But yes an SL can give an 95GT a good run. My friend had a 98 (iirc) GT, and would run 15.1s all day. THere have been SLs on this board that have run 14.9s. Now granted, the SL is more likely to be a tad slower, but it can easily come down to driver skill. The next 2 generations of GTs got faster, and the cobras were always faster than the GTs.

Now when you say driver's skill, what exactly are you referring to? Off the top of my head, the only thing I can think of is shifting at the right RPM's and shifting quick to get back on the gas ASAP. What else do I need to know?

you need to know how to launch the car

Launching an SL is not very difficult, I think the SL would win, especially from a roll. Its funny because I know some guys with 07 mustangs, V6 and V8s they are all cocky. I even had a guy with a 06 6cyl stang race me for a tank of gas! Needless to say I got 35 dollars of gas and he got a red face
And hey Shpyder my cousin had a 67? Toro and that thing hauled ass pretty good for weighing 8000lbs lol. He beat my 92 camaro w/305 pretty good with it.
To the topic poster, if your really worried, borrow someones Nos kit and throw in a 75 shot and call it a day.
