sorry stkjock.. did i ever tell you that you are my hero?
If someone is going to take advice from someone I want to point out where that person is coming from.. and for someone with a lightly modded cobra to say he knows more than anyone else about an 03/04 cobra because he owns one and they dont.. meh.. what someone like that knows is from reading about it the same as anyone else on here. personally, I'd take my advice from someone who does have a 600+rwhp cobra, or someone who has a 600+rwhp S197 GT.... and I wouldn't listen to me either because i have neither
Just what i've read talked with people irl with those cars.. which is about all the experience many people have in here when it comes to 600+rwhp cars..
always a good time Grabber
Right, and since you are a guy that does not even work on our own car, and I do, go figure.
Anyhow, I know what Cobra's can do. Just because I ran a poor time, with apparently a ton of excuses(yet you need a calculator to run 12's) doesn't mean I don't know about the car, even if my car doesn't make 100000000 HP.
I've done quite a bit of work on my own Cobra. Unlike you.
When I say that a Cobra is a better starting platform, is that a lie? Does it take a guy having a 600 RWHP to know that? No. I hang around about 30+ other Cobra owners, and most of them have 600+ RWHP, some have 800+ RWHP, and I learn from them. Not from a thread of where some random dude posted some info.
Also, if you want to base knowledge on how much power a car makes, why would anyone listen to a guy that runs the 1/4 mile online, and can't run the time he claims in real life? Your car barely makes 290 RWHP. I've got close to 200 RWHP on ya, so, by you saying power level means knowledge, I know a lot more.
Get your hands dirty with a wrench, and when you start to work with some of the best tuners in the country like I have(in the sense that I have had extremely in depth discussions with) Jon Lund, Bob Kurgan, etc.
Bob Kurgan is also the guy that re-tuned my slow POS GT, that was running richer than balls, and now holds the FASTEST NMRA DR pass of all time, and built and tuned the car himself. So, now that one of my cars is running healthy again, it changes things. Also, he tuned my Cobra, but, since I cannot break 12.4 because that is the ABSOLUTE BEST my Cobra will ever see, even with John force driving it, my advice should be ignored right?
Yeah, dude, keep to yourself, and if you want to keep bashing me, me and the other dozen guys on MF will keep bashing you for making your absurd claims, with no proof other than an online tool to make you feel better about a car you have put thousands into and are still stuck running 13's. Oops, did I say that? Wait, before you say it, it's not an excuse, well, my lack of driving experience @ a track is not an excuses. A clutch that had over 25K miles and was road-raced and fried is not an excuse. It's a simple fact that I ran my car when it should not have been run, and posted a time I was disappointed in, not a time to brag about.
PS- I also think it's super funny you say take advice from a guy with 600+ RWHP over me. Do you have any clue how many people just drop their cars off at shops, and say this is what I want, and know jack shit about their car, just that it's fast? LOL God, you are so smart.
