You will not beat any cars but a couple NA hondas. Obviously if you can not spell, then you can not drive. nsport kit sucks, the APC kit is MUCH better, check in to it, then you will beat vipers!!!

I'm very sorry for typing that, I should really think about what I'm saying before I type it out. In the future I'll try to keep on topic with more positive things to say.

An M5 that I thought was a normal 5 series(when side by side) showed me his M5 badge(rear) a few months ago. That thing was quite fast. It was suped up some, but nothing more than bolt-ons as far as I could tell. Sounded sweet. Great way to haul 5 people around comfortably.

hmmm lets see, i was able to beat my friends S2000, stay neck to neck with my friends evo8, kill a modded v-tec prelude. beat countless 5.0's. a type R, a S14 with a S14 SR20DET with practically every bolt on mod possible. a slightly modded WRX, but nothing really cool yet.

The 03 cobra is a 4.6, have fun beating that. Instead of asking what you will beat, why do you not find out what 1/4 your car will run? Then compare that to other 1/4 times. My guess is you will run even with an ls1.

If you can make a 13 second car you'll beat 98% of whatever you meet on the road.

My best kill was the first time i ran at the track with the laughing gas. My 12 valve lump spanked a sparkly new daytona blue 350z.:)

03 cobra > ls1, sorry i meant to add ls1 in a f-body

I meant, by posting about the 03, saying that not all 4.6 mustangs are slow, b/c 03 mustangs are mid 12s stock. ls1 f-bodys are 12.9-13.1

I hate to tell you this, but a 4.6L N/A not ever tuned V8 in heavy *** lump of a car will never run 12s from the factory. sorry. maybe you meant 03 COBRAS because they will put down 400 at the wheels factory. but you've been showing your idiocy pretty clearly in this thread so far so I can't really give you the benifit of the doubt on this one.

Did I not clearly say 03 cobras multiple times? I am sorry that in one post I did not correctly say cobra, and that is clearly what I meant. Please point out my other acts of "idiocy".

1. I ran a 12.9@108 if a friends bone stock firehawk.

2. I have personally witnessed a bone stock 03 cobra run a 12.4.

3. Yes, I do infact live at sea level.

well lets see, first you come out telling him to buy the "APC kit" and bust out the ever witty "learn to spell" because i guess you think he's a newbie or something, then you say something dumb enough to get brian to edit your post, then you talk about mustangs and fbodys like anyone cares. I would say for someone 56 posts on this board who has no reputation for being anything but a dildo, you are being an idiot, i.e. expressing your idiocy. kthxbye.

hey toki, what the hell is an apc kit, he must of thought we said electric turbo kit, the kind that makes a spool up sound as the rpms climb. im not to shure how much power you can make from them ,but a few honda guys around here say that with a good light up tail pipe and the proper apc electro charger and a good magnetic hood scoop you can get 2-3 more hp if the winds blowing the rite direction!!!!

1. I appologize, I was unware NICO supported street racing, on that note, I will post many videos of street races.

2. I started talking about fbodys becuase when the thread starter asked basically what he could run with, that is all that comes to mind. I can not say something as general as "Turbo Honda" b/c a turbo honda can run 14s or, 9s. Someone else started talking about 4.6 mustangs, as if they are turds, and I pointed out that the 03 cobras are not turds at all.

3. I rarely post, becuase I generally search this board, unlike many others who expect knowledable people to spoon feed them answers. If you check the whole thread, aside from my first 2 posts, I offered replys to the subject at hand.

4. I am glad that you can appreciate my wit.

all i was pointing out was that theres a big difference between the numbers you see in the magazines and what the car can do on the street or track,the new 4.6l mustang gts are supposed to run a 14.0 the fastest one ive ever seen run at the track stock was a 14.7, BIG difference. and yes a new mustang gt wouldnt stand a chance in a street race or at the track, like it or not thats just the way it is,and as for the cobras, it better be supercharged ir its gonna see tail lights to.and as for f bodies look at it this way! a 2002 ram air firebird makes appr. 325 hp and weights about 3500-3600lbs my car with the nsport stage 1 kits and existing mods meakes appr. 315hp and weights 2800lbs do the math! im not bashing domestics , i didnt start this thread for that im just looking for first hand acounts of races in turbo charged 240s and what car they raced and the outcome!!!vids welcome to of course

First of all, I hate being the advocate for domestics, but when speaking about drag/street racing, there is nothing better. That is why I am comparing your car to domestics. Yes, the 03 cobra does come factory with a supercharger. Something else needed to be learned here, power to weight isnt everything. Think how much low end torque they are creating, how much better the power band is, how much better their suspension is for drag racing. i.e. solid axle. As I said once, I personally ran a 12.9 with a bone stock firehawk. I have also seen a bone stock GT w/drag radials run a 13.8. I did the whole street racing scene for quite some time. I am trying to give you a basic idea of what you will run by saying even with an fbody, I thought that was a pretty good guess. At 260-280whp??? Greaser ran a 12.7 I am pretty sure. On a side note, that man is king of driving, not everyone will hit those times with the little mods he had. Shoot me an e-mail, I will give you the url to some good turbo 240 videos.
