yea most of the high end cars are driven by old farts so i felt rather privileged he wanted a piece. the porsche is like a go cart and that 350 hp goes a long way. like c6 vette said they are in the 12s. The 911 turbos, oh yea i would have been raped, that damn go cart will fly.
A few months ago I had the pleasure of pulling up next to a lamborghini, he was old and didnt want to play with me

This is the first time that the Corvette has a lighter curb weight than the 911....Only 30lbs. but still lighter...

RE: Porsche vs Cobra
Nice win..
The 911 C4's are IMO useless..You spend another 25K (CAD) on a car to get 4WD, even though 2WD offers superior grip...so the reviewers say. It just adds more weight, killing acceleration and top speed.
Which one did you beat? A 996 or 997 model? 997's are more retro to the 993's and before.... but the main thing you can notice are the round headlights on the 997 model and the "broken egg" headlights on the 996's. 996's are from 99-04(correct if im wrong) and 997 is 05+. 996's are slower by a decent amount..something worth mentioning.
A terminator could own both(in the short run...spd limiter), but I'm just curious...

A Carrera is a mid 12 second car, so it sounds about right. Pullied Cobra's are low to mid 12's. If it was a Turbo 911 he would have been raped...

lmmfao, u obviously dont kno anythin, ask anyone on this site and if u dont believe them, go to 5.0 mustang magazine for reference they just did a article w/ the terminator and a shelbygt500 and witha pulley swap for both the gt500 was hittin 11.30's spinnin, and the terminator was hittin 11.70's spinnin, why dont u look up **** b4 u talk man. i haev seen a stock 03 cobra run 12.5's with slicks. just go back to ur corvette that u paid way too much for and run mid 12's all day.

RE: Porsche vs Cobra
Go look on dragtimes and you'll see how many pullied termies are running 11's (high 11's) with DR's.I counted two. There was one that ran mid 11's, though his was ported. The majority of them are running low to mid 12's. Not to mention the two I seen in Sactown could'nt break a 12.8. Now with your smartass comment about my car it has ran low 12's . Two I seen ran a 12.2 (showroom stock). With a tune,CAI and DR's I would think I would break into the 11's. I don't know what kind of car you drive ,but I can't see your flame towards me as anything but ...HATIN'

RE: Porsche vs Cobra
Another thing...I would take MMFF that seriously....Is'nt this the same mag that ran a stock termie 12.4...? Also you will get laughed at if you think Termies are running mid 11's w/ a pulley and drags......A C6ZO6 is a mid 11 second car and everyone here knows it will take alot more than that to run with a ZO6...

RE: Porsche vs Cobra
Mid 11's are possible with a pulley swap and slicks. With a professinal driver that is. There's a pullied cobra with intake, exhaust, tune, and slicks at the track that runs a 11.8x. Quoting magazine times is worthless. The average pullied cobra with slicks is gonna run around a 12 flat with a good driver.
