As the title says...im PISSED cuz he has a 03' GT that i spank on a daily basis...and now that he's buying this in January 09' i have to be able to compete.. He told me that he's either getting the vette or a 03-04' cobra...what the hell can i do to keep up...without supercharging it..??

And knowing his budget i know he won't be able to mod either car for awhile...

[BWAL09]

spray it

[06GTMustang89]

no spray either im highly against doing that to a car this new....maybe in about 4 years haha

Im definitely getting cams now...still can get UDP's ... both those cars have IRS so i know i can beat them off the line with those mods

[BWAL09]

sorry bro, you're SOL then

[BWAL09]

your only options are nitrous, supercharger, or turbocharger if you want to beat him

[Emay]

My suggestion, don't go worrying about what your buddies doin. If that were the case, my ride would have a MMR long block in it and an F-1 on the damn thing instead of a P1sc. Half the cars I roll with are 03-04 Cobras putting 560+ to the pavement.

My brothers cobra simply tuned, CAI and pullied came in at 490 ponies. Your not going to do anything with your car N/A to compete with that. Those are the basic mods done on every single terminator out ther for the most part. Your buddy won't need to spend a dime, the parts are likely to be on the car.

Just be happy for your buddy, build a motor over time, and take your time catching up. It's not even worth rushing into unless you got money to burn as both of those cars are far superior power wise..

[1FastFox]

Take your pick from the list above. Without one of those elements you dont stand a snowballs chance in hell of beating or even keeping up...

[06GTMustang89]

ugh this is fuckin ridiculous....i asked him i was like "need something faster at the track?"
He's all "Yeah im sick of you beating me."

Well now its on like donky kong....he had a hard time driving his GT it will take awhile to learn a car with that much more power for him..

[06GTMustang89]

yeah your right emay..it just makes me mad thats all....

gotta start savin for forged internals and getting SCed or turboed...

[Emay]

The car does all the work, all he needs to do is easy the thing out of the hole and then get in it's ass.. Even playing catch up smartly your in trouble.

The IRS in those cars is a problem on launch, but there is a reason these cars took the terminator name, they are friggen monsters. They still can leave pretty hard, they just have to avoid wheel hop. That's the key destroyer for them.

there ya go man, just keep saving.. you'll beat him someday or be able to afford a car that is faster than his z06 from the factory

[BWAL09]

even with IRS those c5 z06s still do 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds

[07 procharger]

I know...who in there right mind wouldspray a car with only 14 000 km on it LOL....and why no UDP'S?

[06GTMustang89]

i haven't gottin the UDP's yet thats all hahaha

+1

That's kinda what i'm doing. I plan on doing all the bolt-on stuff on this engine, and beefing up the rearend etc...Then while doing that, i'm also saving money for when my car is paid off, that way I can do my crate engine swap, which will be either the 460 or the 514 from Ford Racing. I still wanna beat-up on the occasional ricer though, and have the car pretty quick and show worthy for now, so that's why i'm modding the stock 4.6. Plus I don't wanna void my warranty, so an engine swap right now, would be a very bad idea. Just figured I would let people know, just incase they were wondering why i'm even modding the stock engine.

I disagree with everyone on this thread. You can stay naturally aspirated on full stock motor and take the termi. even if he has a pulley.

anyone want to question me?


But your car wont be that fun to drive on street.

Listen to emay. Dont worry about what your freind has. Build your car the way you want it. I wouldnt trade my stang for any car out there and thats what you want. Heads and manifold, when its done, and ill never be blown. But if i can get it to 400rwhp all motor, stock displacement....what is there a handfull of 3vavles in the country making that? Might cost me 1600 for a custom manifold though but oh well. Ill be proud of it and thats all that matters.

we're talking about the z06, not termie. lol

[07stanggt]

i think you need to re read the thread we are talking about both, and specifically the were talking about a termie with a pulley and tune makeing 490. apology accepted.

[06GTMustang89]

well he through that out there...im pretty sure he's gonna get the termi if he does sell his car...dudes 23 and i know insurance on a cobra is lower then the Z06 haha...

and yes i would like to stay N/A if i can...and be streetable at about 400rwhp eventually...just got to save and plan it all out how im gonna do it..i just hope the cost of heads for these cars go down soon because 1300 bucks for one side is RIDICULOUS!!

[07stanggt]

you could get them for 1700 for both from livernios stage 1s anyway. You also could send yours out to have them ported for less. mine is priced out, fox lake, with springs and retainers, all the labor cuase im not doing it myself. is going to cost me 4000. waiting on a my manifold.
