no wonder they rust so fast, cutting into the moist winds so quick...LOL
damn, i want to watch the video now.
Yeah for any domestic car haters; you have to admit when it's fast, it's fast, regardless of what mpg it gets.

Rep Power: 272 does anyone else suspect that this is a picture of the gauge cluster during a dyno run?, just a thought, still fast as hell though.

Rep Power: 0 I was thinking the same thing...
Hard to tell if there is any wind noise in the clip.
Then again, most dynos have you start off easy until third or 4th gear, and I am not sure if you could "lay rubber" on a dyno in first gear or not.
Also, the clip is titled KBCobra, which might mean its a Kenny Brown Cobra...

Rep Power: 0 yeah, its nice, but not that great. he is running somewhere around mid 11 sec 1/4 miles, you can tell by the speed and the counter. 160 in 25 sec. nice, but not as "wow" as you guys think it is. I've ridden in many cars faster, single turbo supra, s/c formula, s/c z06, etc. learn some more about cars, then go "wow"

Rep Power: 0 Hey man, just because you aren't impressed by the car is no reason to tell people to learn more about cars. What do you actually own and drive that makes you this arrogant?
I guess you aren't impressed by a Enzo Ferrari either -- it only runs 11s too.
BTW, there was a guy at the track I used to go to many years ago that was running 9s out of this (not street legal obviously) Pinto. I guess that would impress you?

Rep Power: 0 Ok, so it looks like you are impressed by rare and fast cars rather than just fast cars. Fair enough.
learn more about cars? You don't have any clue what I know, so I don't think you want go there.
I checked out your ride online -- seems nice enough, but to use your words "nothing I haven't seen before".
Also, if joeb16 is one of the few people on this site that knew a damn thing about cars, why do you bother posting here? Nobody is forcing ya!
If you want to fire off insults, feel free to PM me -- that way, you don't ruin the thread for everyone else.

yes the pinto and ferrari would impress me, because they are rare, an 03 cobra is a dime a dozen now, of the local car group i hang with, 15 people have 03 cobras. the car in the vid has probably a pulley, intake, and speed limiter removed, nice car, fast, but nothing i havent seen before. like i said, learn more about cars, and then go wow. the best WOW car i know is a 1990 izuzu impluse that runs 10's, street legal.

Granted, I wouldn't mind taking it out for a spin to feel that tug. I'm sure it would feel great. There is no replacement for displacement and the ole 7thgen isn't the fastest car. . But, I definatly would not want one. Like it's been said. A dime a dozen and one of the last things I'm impressed with are blue ovals.
Now. . that was pretty fast acceleration and all, but with a V8 and some modding. . It's expected. .
Sorry. I'm just rattling my mouth now. I'll be quiet and sit down.
