you are right. I'll have to check that out.
2007 Civic FA1 and 2005 Yukon XL Denali
Man... if I said I only raced for 10k there would be 20 threads on 4 different forums pop up about what a ***** I was. You guys are letting Johnny Tran off too easy.
lolumad?
FL
^ truth!!!
Jason..
I think its obvious Johnny Tran does not have 10k to put up on a race, he just knows no one else would do so either.....
wouldnt call a stock evo fast,but they are quick........and still nice cas for the money
I have been to the track with Willium multiple times. He ran consistant low 12's at 110+ with 1.6-1.8 60'.. granted that was on street tires and a tranny that was going south. This was also on his old setup and at Commerce (****ty track). I have no doubt in my mind that Willium would walk thacker the whole way down the track
I am waiting on him to man up and do it for a resonable ammount.
william will not beat that gto if thacker is spraying. i had a gto with the juice and it would cut 1.6 60' times all day and trap 123mph so the evo better bring it hard

hell i dont even like thacker but i would put up 10k on the goat that evo would get raped from a dig
Why don't you put up Thackers side of the 10K thenhell i dont even like thacker but i would put up 10k on the goat that evo would get raped from a dig
You only trapped 123?william will not beat that gto if thacker is spraying. i had a gto with the juice and it would cut 1.6 60' times all day and trap 123mph so the evo better bring it hard
I was hoping for some 128-130 this fall if everything comes together right. You must have been completely bone stock with a 150 shot or so... or maybe even an auto.
*edit:I am just talking out of my ass. Of course this will never happen because my car is bone stock with intake / exhaust and I would never put nitrous on my Daily.*

that was before the heads cam swap it was an 04 as well it picked up about 8 mph after the swap
I dont understand why he wont do it then. Im not buying his "its not worth my time" excuse, nor his "$10k bet". Put up or shut up.
so, do we have a race?
if you want the best bang for your buck buy a cts-v
Im gonna have to disagree. I love those cars, but def. not best bang for your buck.if you want the best bang for your buck buy a cts-v
x2
best bang for ur buck,is still like its been for 50 years is the corvette
pssst...terminator
pssst...terminator
haters =p
i think the goat is a good bang for the buck... but i guess i'm just biased... how much can you get a 04 terminator with 12k on the clock in absolutely showroom condition?
i got mine w/6500mi 100% bone stock for $24.5K
thats not bad at all. i got my goat for $23.4k
and I must say, your interior is more upclass than mine imo.
Not even in the same ballpark really.
I test drove more cobras than I could count. I loved the power I just couldn't get over how plastic and cheap feeling the interior was. Everytime I power shifted I could hear plastic crackle around in the interior. I had enough of that from my Camaro already.
cobras are nice.but stock for stock when new........corvettes have always been great cars for the money
even though i hate mustangs with a passion,the cobra is a great car.........even if id rather have a slower 02 Trans Am
I agree.. Goats have nice interior... They had to have some reason to jack the price up
I just really like the cobras seats
Funny considering a Cobras MSRP was higher than the Goats.I agree.. Goats have nice interior... They had to have some reason to jack the price up

Wonder why ford jacked the price up on those? All that plastic must have been expensive.
and yet they discontinued your so called cheap goat... hmm... puzzling?
The G Spot Hero
"Nitrous is like a hot girl with STDS, you know you want to hit it but your afraid of the consequences."
They discontinued the Cobra in 04 also.
They discontinued the Supra in 1998.
They discontinued the skyline.
They discontinued the Camaro / Firebird.
They discontinued the Chevelle.
All of those cars must have been ****. Everyone of them.
Hell they even discontinued the Corvette for 83.
hmmm.... Thacker brings up a good point.
Back to being stock and slow
the GT500 is the new Cobra. Its not discontinued.
The reason for discontinuing the Supra is because Toyota couldnt justify selling a $60k car under the Toyota name....but that was back in 98. Lots of rumors have been going around about a new Supra.
The G35 was the Skyline in Japan and Europe, and they dont call the new GTR the R35 for nothing.
The camaro/firebird got discontinued because Mustangs were trouncing them in the sales department. Not to mention they are coming back out...though I know you are fully aware of that fanboy.
As for the Chevelle, I dont know about that one.
Nice try....1 out of 5 aint bad...
LOL... by a couple hundred
The cobra is still the best bang for the buck... new or used
How many cars can you name that will run 10's with less than 25K invested... Obviously I am not talking about taking a shell and throwing a motor in it
Best bang for your buck for what? Because its definitely not drag racing... and last time I checked throwing a cobra around a road course was like watching a brick slide across ice.LOL... by a couple hundred

Ford did two things right with those cars. Forged botton end, and a super charger.
Now, here are the things that are wrong.
Weak input shaft on the tremec t56
Infamous head problems. tick tick tick.
Weak ass glass like IRS.
WEIGHT.
Lack of cubic inches.
Interior. They share the exact same design, seating position, cheap ass materials as a v6 Mustang.
V6 Mustang.
Cobra
If you are judging how good a car is and "bang for the buck" simply by its straight line performance than a Cobra gets beat in that regard also.
How many cars will run 10's with less than 25k invested? TONS.
My camaro will run that with 8k invested over the purchase price.
Any of the LS motors are 10 second capable with bolt ons and a 150 shot and tires. That is about $3000 if they pay for all the labor and the tune.
The ONLY thing a cobra has going for it is the fact that you can throw a pulley on it, and make about 90 more RWHP than stock.Even then you are only looking at 117-120 traps at the track at mid 11's best to low 12's. Not really impressive IMO for 450ish RWHP. Other then that you are looking at an expensive blower port job, aftermarket blower etc. Once you get into that the Cobra's playing field evens out with any other car that was around its price range.
they never discontinued the gto, it was only planned to be out in 2004-2006 newb. Holden already had a new platform in mind.
in my defense! haha =p.... 2004 z06= 3200lbsish and 26-30k with low miles... ls6 405hp....
2004 cts-v 3800lbsish 4 doors, trunk,room for honeys, golf clubs,dead bodies and groceries... ls6 405hp ( i payed 24.5k with 26k miles and extended warranty)....http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...7/interior.jpg
