you did well for your first time. I am not against that. I just said what isaw. Nothing more.

 

Where did you see a bone stock 03 go 11's on stock tires? I think you speak out of your tail sometimes.

 

could be a misprint, i saw it in one of the magazines. Hey, sorry for the confusion, does anyone think it is an altitude "corrected" time? (just came to mind)
i am looking for the link now, then i will post it. here is when they got a 12.7 outta a stock vert Cobra 12.7 Read the article Sorry, i said 12.2, i meant 12.7 I mess up some times. The other mag ran a corrected 11.8 (didnt no this at the time) sorry. Still the vert will run 12s stock.

 

well, if you did see it in a magazine, i hope that magazine isnt printed anymore. see, when you research before you post, you dont come out sounding cocky and stupid. As for the vert hitting 12's, the one i raced couldnt, and she was on BFG drag radials. Im not saying it hasnt happend, but I havent actaully witnessed it. This summer I'll be getting a rematch with the 04 vert, and maybe she'll hit the 12 mark.

 

for a car to run 11's stock, 12s even, it has to be a very fast car, considering what you pay for corvettes, vipers, etc, for them to run high 11's and 12's is still very good. Not saying a cobra isnt fast, because it is, just saying that for a stock cobra to run that fast, ford would have to be taking a major loss. Sometimes facts get twisted around, ive done it before. Just a mistake that can be rectified. Also, no matter what your running, if its on street tires, it obviously isnt getting the times it should have. Put slicks on any car and guarenteed youll shave of the good part of a second.

 

hey,

How fast do you think your car will run if it hooks hard? like with a 1.40 short time? i am thinkin 11.5 or so. I like the cobras, some mags run the "correction" on their times such as altitude changes and such. I am sorry for the mistake.

 

Uh, as far as the original topic goes, it was a GT motor with the Cobra intake, suspension lowered 3/4 of an inch, Cobra brakes, and a specially tuned exhaust that had better air flow and was digitally tuned by the guys at Ford to sound like the original GT390 used in Bullitt. Those are the big differences anyways. It was a SOHC 2v design, the Mach 1 got the DOHC 4v.

This is a great site for the Bullitts:

i dont think a 1.4 60' time will put me in the 11.5 range. Thats a heck of a lot faster than 12.8. And Sccothew pointed out that I have a good chance of destroying my IRS if I go with slicks. I'm sure under ideal conditions, maybe on drag radials, its got a 12.5 in it though

 

I meant by hook up, use a drag suspension with a 9 inch 4.56 gears and a solid rear. and Slicks, sorry for the confusion

 

thats an awfully tall rearend, forget the gas mileage, lol

 

You sir, are certifiably insane. Why in Gods name would I ever do that to my daily driver? The highest gears I would ever use on a street car would be 3.73

 

certifiably insane...hahahahahaha! Pear, you are too funny!

Fordracing200... you can't learn without asking questions so keep on asking!

Thanks for the compliment, lol. Alot of people call me insane...
I always ask questions, i still wanna no how Valentino put rotary pistons in a ford 302, Mazda Rotary motors

 

2v mod motors need atleast a 4.10 in them and a 4v needs a 4.30 or 4.56. My buddies old car got around 22-23 and had 4.56's . It was one of only a few n/a cobras in the country to run 11's.

 

I am with Andy, Where do you live man?

 

In Not Given, just north of the Keys.

 

lol

 

Bullitts are awesome, that's one sweet car.

 

I live in Dalton, Ga. Its known as the carpet capital of the world. Or also known as "Little Mexico".

 

Yah, so does he live on top of my kitchen cupboard cuz thats where the keys are?
