i was just being nice about the ford stuff i'm all for chevys
but when talking about cars years get confused,
when i say cobra i mean shelby cobra,
so what i meant was anything from shelby hauls
well OH! Thats totally different. Hey i dont think there is a guy in the world that cant appreciate a Shelby Cobra, especially the old school 427. There are alot, well not a huge amount, of people down here that buy kit car Cobras, then they put the running gear of a late 5.0 in them. Have you seen this?? I talked to one guy about his and he said the kit cost him like 12,000 or so and all the other parts were about 4000, but he said the assembly was the worst tho..... I mean they look JUST like those old 427's, side pipes and everything. Ok enough of THAT tangent.

its my understanding you race and i would like to know
what you run and what your times have been at the strip
because i run a 65 falcon with a 429 cobra jet intercepter
backed up with a rebuilt c6 running to a ford 9+ rearend
and i run low 10's, and i will run you any time you want

or we can hook chains if you have a truck,
but i bet you drive your moms volvo.
Well no vovlo action:p but my mom DOES drive a PT Crusier, its PLUM. Its a standard tho, so it can hit a little second gear scratch if you rev the shit out of it.

As for me , and i might as well tell you about my brothers as well, Im driving a 1997 Z28 with alot of bolt ones, nothing internal yet. My brother is driving a 1979 Trans Am, with the pontiac 400 and an aftermarket 5-speed tranny...

Well we have been to the track, but we dont have any UBER CRAZY times like you do man. 10 sec? how much did that cost you, damn!! He ran a 13.6 at like 104 or there, 2.1 60 ft, so you can tell hes spilling a bit, this is on slicks BTW.

I ran a 14.1 at 106, but with....get this: a 3.1 60 Ft time LOL:eek: :eek: :eek: This was on BARE street tires, they looked like slicks:o , and 4.10 gears so im pretty sure its a mid-low 13 car if i ever hooked that first or second gear.

I didnt mean to get you pissed of man, i just thought you didnt know what your talking about, but you obviously do.

Oh btw, what does it feal like to launch that thing? I cant even imagine that.....Tell us more about that Falcon man....
