Why aren't you photochopping a timeslip for your next bullsh!t story?

 

Ls1's are great...I work with a guy who run's 10.50's@130mph on E.T streets in a WS-6 with a exhaust, stall, PP head, and a 150 wet shot....stock block, stock rear, stock auto except the stall.

Without juice it runs 11.80's@118mph. Total a cost about 5K with him installing all on pump gas.

 

That's fine and dandy. And please understand that I am not trying to start anything here. Like I said earlier. 99.9% of you all are totally cool.

You have a point and you know, I am really not into the whole "who is wrong, who is right" bs anymore. My dirt is that he was called out and he is pussing out. and that makes our guy look like the right one here.

I feel for you guys, because douchebags like Mame are the types of guys that give groups bad names.

this is a perfect example: I have met a handful of EVO owners where I live. They all think they are the $hit. I had that stereotype toward EVO and STi guys because of my experiences here...

I actually had one EVO guy that I beat come up flying up on my tail charging at me numerous times afterward....very aggressively. Then he gave me the bird when I slammed my brakes....lol.

ANYWAY- So here I had this stereotype....come to find out, that is just a bad basket of apples. You all are very respectable, and I thank you for bringing that to light.

IF, I had just read the post by Mame on our site, I would have still had that stereotype. And that is what he is doing to you all to all those who haven't been here.

So my point is, this ****head is making you all look bad, and I hope you can see where I am coming from.

Pull his *** out of his daddy's arms and make him race

 

Yeah, we know and agree. Even if Mame was telling the truth and beat the guy, it doesn't change the fact that this thread was stupid. Regardless of that fact, though, the Cobra guy's timeslip is very questionable, and that should be pursued as well. He may have actually lost to Mame, since Mame has a timeslip that reads exactly what he said from the beginning and does not look tampered with at all. It wouldn't change the fact that Mame made a dumb comment about Cobras, but it would at least mean that he wasn't blatantly lying about the race.

 

Both can be made fast, but around here I see more 87-93 mustangs which are faster/quicker at the quarter mile tracks. In fact, last time I went to the track at Bowling Green Kentucky the only evo I saw was running 14 second passes and my old full interior/weight automatic 1991 mustang was running 11.3's@127 with a 1.9 60ft. on 93 octane, 450lb coilovers and dot tires.
I'd like to make a video of my street car v. an evo next spring. At the drag strip of course. PM me if interested.

 

You can make anything fast. The point is you can make 03/04 Cobras and Evos very fast with very few mods. Notice my 12.000 with less than $1000 spent on basic bolt-ons. You don't see that from 5.0s.

 

Your car is the exception from what I have seen, not the rule as far as evos go.

Fox body 5.0's, ls1's, and 99-04 lightnings run easy 12's with an ebay $300 bolt on nitrous kit.

I'd still like to get a video of me and a decent fast evo. I have never seen a fast one in real life.

 

hey kwikrnu where u in tn, i live in nashville. cool~
i dont think there are lots of evos in nashville area but i do see lots of domestic modded cars here tho..
i never seen a fast evo here also..but i have seen AMS 800whp evo on video hehe

 

You're probably going to have to head on out of TN for that one! Just go a little way north to tracks in OH/IL. That's where some of the fastest (and THE fastest) Evos are...

There are fast Mustangs everywhere, but the shops that can truly make Evos SUPER fast are few and far between. Around the country, you'll see tons of 12 second evos and a lot of 11 second Evos, but most of the 10 and all of the 9 second Evos are associated with specific tuner shops, so they're generally local to them, although there are a few scattered around...

 

Cobras (03 and 04), are capable of being very, very quick drag cars that do neeto burnouts, thats it:

1. Terrible gas milage
2. For the price they should stay on the track better
3. Lopsided weight distribution
4. Poor traction
5. Cheap undurable materials from interior to exterior (finish is OK).
6. Mustangs are generally marketed for women
7. Enginered and assembled by lazy union employes (like myself)
8. Cobra owners consistantly say the 'F' word between pronouns and adverbs

Please don't compare an evo to such a car. The evo is a budget performance sports car capable of competing with the supercars and furthermore rallying. It just so happens to be able of producing surprising results at the dragstrip and for this reason evo owners get addicted to the fact - it's fun.

The cobra is the ultimate american-made muscle dragcar, but merely nothing more.

Comparing evos to cobras cannot be put into context.

 

And Evos can run 12s stock with no mods. Put a $300 nitrous kit on a stock Evo, and it can get close to 11s. Either way, I wasn't talking about slapping on nitrous...that's not really modding. I'm talking about exhaust, boost control, tuning...you know, regular, everyday bolt-on mods not bought on Ebay, no risk, no refilling, and no concern. You are right that I am not typical of most Evo drivers, but all Evos are capable of what I have done within a few tenths. Unfortunately, most Evo owners can't drive worth a lick, whereas I'd say most fox-body 5.0 drivers can give John Force a run for his money (ok, exaggerating, but you get the point).

 

Ford vehicles are not engineered by "lazy" union employes. They are company. I work for Ford and don't consider myself a lazy union worker. I'm currently laid off, but if the union would allow the company to get rid og the "lazy" people I'd still have my job. I'll take a vacation getting 95% of my pay. I'll be called back in 48 weeks be contract so I'll just live it up for now and psend time with my new born son.

 

Sorry I was just being sarcastic because I'm prejudice against mustangs (mustang owners out here are true evo haters: "evos are lancers with turbos"). Good to here the union worked for you. I'm a union member and it hasn't done squat for me (DoD aircraft electrician).

Spend time with your little one they are truely a blessing. I have two myself a split-tail and a boy. With proper parenting my son will never own a cobra, however the cobra would be a good car for my daughter.

 

Isn't that true.

 

well there is a reason the Evo costs 2x the reg. lancer. it is a bit more than just the turbo. but yes, Evos are lancers with turbos. Just like any version of any model line is that same car but with enhancements/upgrades.
