Jaymz Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 you had to join here to ask If he gives you 3 cars, I would say it would be close to dead even in a 1/4 from a dig If you race a 1/8th from a dig, he'll waste you If you want to beat him.. do a 30 roll to 100.. or... BUY A CHEVY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 My buddy has a ss awd pickup, I just bought a 93 cobra and his mouth is watering to race me. He is giving me 3 cars and he will beat me by 1 he says. he has no cats, K & N Filter, Chip. what do you guys think? My car is stock.. nice site by the way! Is you car STOCK, or "pretty well stock"... I would guess you are mid to low 14s, it depends what your buddy's truck runs. The filter won't do much, the "chip" might! Depends what he has.... it shouldn't be a spanking either way unless someone is bending the truth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger99 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Jameszss Yes, I came in here to ask to see with your opinion is. And he said 3 and beat me by 1. so 4 cars..... See, here is the thing. My car is BONE STOCK down to the filter, He told me he would give me 7 cars as i sit now, 4 if i put a H-pipe. I told him lets go from a roll, He changes the subject everytime i bring that up. Ohh, this aint a street race. this a 1/4 mile run. I also told him let me put a tune my car, he said NO! Im pretty sure, when he takes me out of the hole, I can catch him at the top of 2nd. Im not bumping up my timing either. He is just so sure of him self because he beats rice and people that cant drive. Either way, it will be on video and i will post if you want.

Jond983 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 dude your car stock runs mid 14's in the quarter..your friends SS isn't modded significantly so you have a very good chance of winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger99 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 My car was owned by a 68 year old man, (Original Owner) it was not broken in correctly, It should be a good race either way. I was just curious on what you guys think might happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say if it's a 1/4 mile race, even start and no "giving lengths" bs.... YOU will win by three to five lengths. There's MY guess, come on everybody and toss their guess down so we have an idea who thinks what.... Stinger99.... I'm ASSUMING you can "drive"..? My Passtime question would be to you- Do you race your car often enough to know how to get it to hook...? lol Edited July 4, 2009 by CrAzYMoPaRGuY (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Im pretty sure, when he takes me out of the hole, I can catch him at the top of 2nd. I'm pretty sure you'll be ketchup racing too... Im not bumping up my timing either. I have a feeling you know what you are doing, this will be interesting as far as I'm concerned....

Black2003SS Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) With a dead even start, Cobra by 3 at the 1/4. If the SS has a "chip" that most likely means he went and bought a diablo sport or other handheld, which doesnt add much. I was at Milan and another SS had a handheld tune, K&N, and he was running 15.1's. If he had a "tune", it might be a different story. But my experience is that people who say chip, dont really know what they have and are typically referring to a handheld tuner.

Stinger99 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 CrAzYMoPaRGuY I wanted to go even, he dont want to. My driving skills are average. I have had my cobra for a total of 2 weeks. I have a 92 5.0. but it is being redone and i have not drove it for over 2 years. As far as knowing what im doing, so, so. I got my cobra 2 weeks ago and was ment to restore and slowly mod over time. My buddy wants this so bad it aint even funny. What's killing me is that he wants to spot me so many cars, But i'll take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jond983 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 hes got ya bro. i had a 93 cobra once trade that thing for a 97 ss camaro. been chevy every since. good luck i like chevy too..but these f-body cobra's stock are low to mid 14 sec. cars on street tires. this guy could be a decent shifter and still walk his friends SS even with his mods.

Stinger99 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 McMahan I'm totally stomped on this one, As far as chevys they are nice and great cars, But you guys are gonna laugh, I never like the way the camaro sounded. I always hated the Ypipe it felt fake to me in a muscle car. Im not knocking camaros, I love all things with power. CrAzYMoPaRGuY: Thanks LOL Jond983 Decent shifter, That reminds me, i have to take the short throw outta my 92, the one in the snake is way to long. As far as knowing how to drive, I had a 99 cobra. I raced a few ls1's, I won 2 lost 1. I also raced a 2001 vette. (only lost by 2 cars) my cobra had 4.56 gears and exhaust and dynoed 299hp-300tq. These SS trucks are beautifull, IMO OVERPRICED for a truck. I will post the results as soon as this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1SSS Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Handheld, you have the win. If he had a real tune from the site Id say he would win. Do you think the Viper's are overpriced (only reason I ask is I kept my SS over a Viper SRT-10 NR)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
