NO CONTEST....What do yo guys think?????
lol....i love that pic. I haven't seen that one in awhileCVP33 said:Way to go guys. You scared Gary Coleman. :tisk:
best bang for the buck? at $40,000 to $45,000? i'd take a 300 SRT/8 over the Shelby.and just wait till the HEMI Cudas come back,and not to mention Camaro.i'm very sure those two cars will be cheaper,and not to mention, fun to drive.and all stuffed with big old fashionded push-rod technology.not this rice-tech supercharged stuff that's out there now.:rant2:Blackout said:Well what are you looking for in this comparison? Are you talking performance? Ammenities *sp?*? But if your talking performance the GT500 will eat a CTS-V alive. The last gen Cobra is good for mid to upper 12's in stock trim, now you add more hp and tq and your seeing 11's. The GT500 will be the best bang for the buck car out there. And all you need to do then is a pulley swap and hello mid 11's!
Ok have fun with the slower car that only comes in a automatic.Haleykeek said:best bang for the buck? at $40,000 to $45,000? i'd take a 300 SRT/8 over the Shelby.
That won't be coming back since Plymouth isn't around anymoreand just wait till the HEMI Cudas come back
The Camaro should be interesting to see but your talking 2+ years down the line so there is no comparison and you can't say as to which car iwll be cheaper and more fun to drive.,and not to mention Camaro.i'm very sure those two cars will be cheaper,and not to mention, fun to drive.
lol......ummm.....ok. I'll take the car that comes stock with a blower and spend the $60 for the pulley to make more hp then going out and spending a few grand for a blower, then tuning it, then changing the compression, then reinforcing the block, etc. So have fun with the pushrod:highfive:and all stuffed with big old fashionded push-rod technology.not this rice-tech supercharged stuff that's out there now.:rant2:
No, it's going to be heavier. The Z06 is under 3200, estimated weights for the GT500 are in excess of 3600 (sometimes well in excess.) I couldn't imagine Ford managing to get a relatively large, 4 seater that is the Mustang to be lighter than the Z06. It's an iron block with a blower on it, which definately adds weight. It does not have much lightening either.illumina said:I am having trouble understanding something: with the suggested 475 hp-tq., this car is expected to run mid-11's? I hate to bring a new car into the mix here, but the new Z06 is running high-11's with 500 hp-tq., right? Is the GT500 so light that it will be able to beat the ZO6 with it's assumed lesser numbers?
I believe the new Z06's are running mid 11's. The new Shelby will most likely run high 11's to low 12's.but the new Z06 is running high-11's with 500 hp-tq., right
That would be my estimation as well...SpeedyArizona said:I believe the new Z06's are running mid 11's. The new Shelby will most likely run high 11's to low 12's.
High 11's and that's it! With the Z06 having a 550 lb. advantage, as well as a hp-tq advantage, the GT500 shouldn't be so close.SpeedyArizona said:The GT500's estimated weight is 3700 lbs while the CTS-V is 3850 lbs and the Z06 at 3150 lbs. The Z06 is no doubt faster, but I'll expect high 11's from the GT500.
Sorry, had to correct my numbers
it'll run 11.9...cause our test mule did. But now that I think about it it was an 07 driveline in a 03 cobra body. I think its like a 300lb difference between gens. But like I said we did see 11.9 in testing on stock driveline only in a 03 cobra body.
I'd probably agree with you on this too. The one thing that the Cobra has in it's favor is ease of boosting power output. My guess is a "stock" Cobra will be a high 11, low 12 sec. car but with even something as small as a pulley swap, you could see Z06 performance fairly easily. Again, it may be fast but IMO, it's friggin' UGLY!SpeedyArizona said:I believe the new Z06's are running mid 11's. The new Shelby will most likely run high 11's to low 12's.
There's just something not right about that man!Blackout said:Here's Katshot at work thinking about that Challenger:rofl:
I can't wait until these things come out and people start dyno'ing them to see if Ford sand bagged the numbers like they did on the last Cobra.Last week the Ford Rep. at the Lehigh Valley Autoshow quoted 475/475. I am a little partial towards the car since I used to work for Carroll.
That's my quote of the day. Happy April Fool's Day! :thumbsup:Katshot said:Well don't forget that Ford has been accused of going both ways
I think after that fiasco you will never see the Cobra being over estimated again.Katshot said:Well don't forget that Ford has been accused of going both ways on the Cobra in the past. They got bagged for OVER-estimating power and then later ones were actually UNDER-estimated.
When you zone out boy do you zone out. Notice how close I was to you when you were day dreaming? :thumbsup:Oh, and BTW, where'd you get that picture of me daydreaming?
As I wrote that, I wondered if anyone would take it that way.CVP33 said:That's my quote of the day. Happy April Fool's Day! :thumbsup:
Rest assured, I ALWAYS will. It's a gift really. :thumbsup:Katshot said:As I wrote that, I wondered if anyone would take it that way.
that was my question and didn't get an answer on that from them, except I don't consider them retarded, I like them.marnepup said:/edit/ why are they trying so hard to avoid letting "cobra" escape their lips when they have those retarded snake badges all over the car?
