Got a couple friends who like to talk trash, one has a 99 Cobra with SHMS N/A cams and exhaust
'02 Camaro SS
and a new GTO

How you think the 94 will fare? :coolsmiley:


My mods are:

373's
eibach drag launch
CAI
H/C/I
Nitto Drags
Steeda Triax
and one skinny driver

thats pretty nice combo you have, are you dyno tuned?? Any dyno numbers on this combo?? I would think you can have close to 300rwhp with this. Should be in the 12s with sticky tires and a good driver.

Stock late model LS1 dyno anywhere from 300 to 320 whp, and they have broader torque curve than a heads cam 5.0. I must say this does not look good :dunno:

those are pretty good numbers, can you drive worth a piss?? I think you can hold your own pretty well. At a minimum you will " hang " with the competition and not get blown away.

back in the day i could, but i havent gone to the track in a couple years. I lost interest with my old GT before i bought this cobra. This will be this cobras first pass with me.

well if you can get back in the swing and pull off some good launches and fast shifts I think you will do fine. My 95 GT with mods like yours went 12.7x's with a great driver. Have fun and post your times when you get back :)

lol i will

Honestly tho, if i cut a mid to low 13 w/o practicing in a while ill be happy especially seeing as how ive only had this cobra for about 3k miles over the past year and its been torn up in the 99 cobra dude's garage mostly.

i hear ya, ill probably pick a fight with that 5.7L gto first that will be easy pickings to up the confidence level and get the adrenaline pumpin. Ive already waxed one of those playing around on the street. The SS will be the deal breaker.

Ive read on other forums that those GTO's are not as fast as most people think they are :dunno: mid 13s looks like the norm for them. And thats with the big engine in them.

the one i picked on was silver and it had the 5.7L i dont know if it was automatic or what just some young guy. THey're probably heavy as lead....


Speaking of which, the cobra has been on a diet since i got it too... Forgot to mention that one. No more stock seats: got recaro seats, all the sound deadening material is out, no back seat, no spare tire... Dunno if that conts for much, but the aftermarket seats are about half the weight of the stock leather ones...

every little bit counts, but I would not look to run 10s just for the weight reduction you do have :hammer: . Sounds like you have cut well over 100lbs though.
