RE: 06' cobra shelby gt 500
Interesting. This is a Corvette forum and everyone is talking about the hot Mustangs they run.
How hot guys? Come on. No BS about how you can't run because of some squiggly problem with the throppet valve to your frammet coupler is loose - no excuses for not running.
WHAT TIME SLIPS HAVE YOU ACTUALLY POSTED ON A REAL NHRA TRACK?
And forget my 02 ZO6 (427 C5R built by Charlie Hempfield, Procharger D1SC, etc.). It's a daily driver and I don't race it and Mustangs really aren't in the same class anyway.
But I have a nice '98 Camaro. Licensed, inspected, street legal. That's a fair match with a Mustand, isn't it? Nothing to look at: black, 77K miles, fiberglass ram air hood that fits within a 1/4 inch, but not real good, a few more rattles than you'd like, ZO6 wheels that came off the 'vette when we put Fikse's on. It it has a built 408 cubic inch LS6, AFR heads, Jesel rockers, etc,. but no supercharger. And a little bit of nitrous. But it has AC and a CD player and power windows and doors panels and all the carpeting even the original leather seats. It is bit faster than the 'vette, too: does 10.35s on 315 drag radials. But not the fastest car in town: got its butt kicked badly by a Supra with 28 lbs of boost and some nitrous early this summer, and a Buick Grand National with two monster turbos just edged it out it in a race for serious bucks a few weeks ago.
But its real, and it runs, and in doesn't make excuses.
So, what have you run?
