Or you can just drive down Battlefield Road, youll find a race or two. If your here on a Sunday, The Steak n Shakes are always having Huge car shows, like 100's of cars, especialy the one on Glenstone Street.

dammit I hear branson is far away, I'm already traveling like 6 1/2 hrs to get home hahaha... That would probably be another 3-5hrs. That part of missouri sounds cool already. I never found a cool part besides one, like the whole 18yrs I lived there. So far 10ac is my fav state overall. I always hear nice things about branson though. One day I may roll through

2 of my verygood friends have terminators, i grew up with them since i was a kid. One has the complete bolt ons, suspension stuff and a whipple blower. He made just shy of 620 to the wheels. (618 to be exact) The other has a an intake, exhaust, and a stiegemeier VI w/ pulleys. Made 493 at the wheels. U can c how insanley these things respond to mods. To make that kinda power with an LS1 ull need full bolt ons and a big H/C. Even then ur not getting anywhere near 618 w/o NOS.

Iv never ran one. I played with my friend on the road a few times and, well basically he handed me my ass on a silver platter.

There is a stage VI Stegemeier? I want it. Last time I looked it up they were only to stage IV for the termys, but I heard about a stage V coming soon, I guess they just went right for the VI. That is going to be one of my next mods (within 1 year) to mine, its pretty cheap, they charge like 500 to port it, and 500 to take it off and put it back on. 1000$ gets you like 50 rear wheel horse. And they do a before and after dyno, Not to bad.

o shit, i meant IV. Sry man i hada typo.

Just NA here and I never seem to have trouble with stock or modded Cobras!!

Nice avatar by the way.

go race a modded 03-04 cobra...its pretty much on top of the food chain..besides (c6 zo-6)

**Silver Streak** · 04-27-2007, 02:43 PM

Well... since by his info he has a c6 z06.... he would know..

LOL yes and it's modded(headers/tune) so I guess that's not fair to the Cobra. It's still fun though.

Ha Ha, funny. No much respect to the All mighty ZO6, I have yet to race one, because I have only seen 2 around here and cant ever catch one going my way. But I have seen many Internet Termys try to run the Z, It seems like a stock ZO6 will beat a Cobra unless the Cobra has 550 (Or more) Rear wheel horsepower, if not, they lose. I only have 457 RWHP, but I would still love to try. I wouldnt expect to win, but it would be fun. I do know a regular C6 isnt a problem for me. Now your mods on your Z, Im sure I would need 600 RWHP to keep up. But remeber I only spent 26 grand, how much did you spend?

And by the way, If I could afford it, A Z would be in my garage. It must be nice to be asked a question about your Corvette and your answer is "Which one" Much respect my brother.

Are you going to trade in your Z for the new 650 horse Supercharged Corvette SS/Blue Devil? Im sure they are gonna be EXPENSIVE as HELL

One more thing, I make more power than a ZO6 right now, I just weigh around 500 pounds heavier. Darn back seat and Iron block.
Not making excuses, just stating a fact that pisses me off, My car is Chubby.

i am still pissed off about losing

**Silver Streak** · 04-27-2007, 06:58 PM

SO I guess you got what you wanted..... now either learn and don't do it again... or spend some money and race him again.

Sounds about right on the #'s. My modded C6 Z is just over 500RWHP and I have a few friends with Cobras in the 630 RWHP and they are always good runs. Very close.

I will get an SS if I can get my hands on one, but I am also suppose to get a GT500 this summer. My 2007 C6 Z06 will be modded soon to the 500 RWHP range and used as a daily driver. The 2006 C6 Z06 will get a full cage and maybe a turbo setup to become my track car mainly. I have one other reg C6 auto(lightly modded) that I bought for my wife so she would keep her paws off my Z's.

You may have trouble finding guys to run in the Z's. Most guys that buy them are trying to buy that last chance at youth in life and can't drive for shit. If they do run, as I said, they can't drive and don't know how to use their ride to it's potential. If you find an owner like myself you're in luck. I bought the things to run, win or lose, and not to polish the car or my ego!!

Later dude.

the new shelbys coming out are going to be 7xx hp.
anyway, when i get my car back i want to race a new zo6 and a whipple cobra.

**Doom** · 04-27-2007, 10:10 PM

Yea but it seems that u are closer to sea level.......Being that ur cars are on a an even playing field.....A S/C car can compensate for most of the elevation changed and an NA car cant.....So say u run and beat that cobra down there with just boltons, travel to a higher elevation with the same mods and race cobra again the results will be different as his car will still perform the same and urs wont....So saying that a bolt-on LS1 will take a cobra is a lil biased and not 100% true depending on conidtions....

I raced my buddies on 12 pounds of boost and took him pretty nasty but i was on DR's and he was on street tires....had he been on some DR's aswell it woulda been a hell of a race cause he didnt pull till the top of my third gear.

**preston1980** · 04-29-2007, 01:58 PM

Bottom line is: A stock 03/04 Cobra will beat a Stock 01/02 Ram Air or SS. They are at least 4/10ths sec faster in the Qaurter on average. Also will beat a stock 97-04 Vette by more like 3/10ths on average. Like it or not that is the truth.

That is from a dig, from a roll, they beat em even worse. Some DR's on all the cars compared, the comparison will change alot. Then the Cobras will win by half second or more. A simple set of DR's will put a Termy to a very low 12 sec qaurter, mid 12 even if you suck at launching/shifting. DR's on a Vette or SS only gets you to mid to high 12 if you can launch/shift well.

Ill say it once again, Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords got the stock 03 Termy to a 12.4 with the stock Goodyear STREET tires by only lowering the tire pressure. Thats impressive. They also got a SS to a 12.9 with the same trick. And the Vette is not much faster than the SS. Maybe 1-2 tenths.

Agreed except that i got that issue of MM&FF's and the cobra ran a 12.79 @ 106.39MPH and the SS went 13.252 @ 106.42MPH......He missed 4th in the cobra and still made the 12.79 he claimed it had a 12.60 in it had he not missed.

**TheKitchenSink** · 04-29-2007, 07:41 PM

I was messing around w/ one today, not sure on the year. From a dead stop...we were pretty even...I was gaining as he switched gears but he came back till we had to stop. then we went from a 40mph roll...and he had a little jump on me but I hung in there right with him till I had to stop for traffic. I asked what he ran out the track...but I didn't hear what he said. He had 2 other people in his car...and I was alone which gave me some advantage. But non the less it was a good race.
