hahah, maybe a little bit crazy. But the guy said he would be willing to help me do it at no charge, if I'd help him build his rollcage in return(if any of you post on IF you've probably seen the pics of my friends SI and his rollcage that we've built, if not I'll post'em here later). And I also have two 10# bottles just kinda hanging around. One NX and one TNT, gonna have them both powdercoated black maybe and toss them in.

As for JEGS, I know they usually have really good prices...So I'll have to check them when I buy.

Ya, whats the deal with the error messages? I could'nt log on to automotive forums all day yesterday. I figured the server was down or something, but looking at the dates of other peoples posts they where able to post... strange.

No clue about the error messages, I noticed the exact same thing

Nope. never lined up aginst a GTP in the cobra But ran neck and neck with a GT model in my 1995 v6 mustang. I guess it was a Grand am or something.

Yea, they are pretty rare. it should be intresting to see how the new GTO stands against cobras and camaros. They've got around 350-375 if i remember correctly. I think they come out in late of this year.

Last I heard the new GTO is only supposed to run mid 14s or so. But, Im not a 100% sure.

That could be true but of course there are always rumors, and they arn't sharing alot of specs on it so who knows? i guess it's possible to get specs from the austrailian monaro which it was modeled after but i believe they arn't completely the same, the looks is a dead give away on that

[94svt5.0]

Ya, I think those times are based on the Monaro.

do all svt's have a cobra instead of a mustang on the grill?

The lack of info and specs on the GTO makes me think that they are either below expectations and need refining before production, or they are going to hold out production for another year. If they are coming out this year usually all info has already been released and made public. Kinda makes me wonder whats up...

or it could mean the exact opposite, they are trying to build interest, it's like a movie, are they going to give away the whole plot if they want people to see it?

All cobras have a horse in the front grill. I Have had many people tell me my car is not a cobra because of the horse. Just have to reply with the basics the no cobra came from the factory with a snake on the front, but it is a common aftermarket add on though.

I saw something that rated the new GTO at 340hp/360tq, but if there are no true specs out on it, then it could be anyone's guess. My best guess is that it'll be somewhere under that, because GM is so damn protective of their precious vettes...

Here's a bunch of pics: http://www.ls1tech.com/GTO.html

look 4 the 2 crome pipes out back of stang. thats the real only difference that u can definately tell from the back. but to me i think it was a 6 not a gt. i have friends who have stangs and i doubt that a civic could beat a v8 gt regardless of conditions. but gr8t kill anyway :frog:

[DeViL]

Yeah I believe 340 hp/360lbs torque is what the first brand of GTO's will have. If thats true then you'll see it definately beating GTs, and probably Trans Ams and SS Camaros, but not beating supercharged Cobras.

To me thats sort of a disappointment, I was hoping more for like 360hp standard. Hopefully it will be up to that later on. Who cares if it beats the regular C5 Corvette? There are other reasons besides power when it comes to buying a Vette. It wouldn't lose its market.
