SLS DSM loses to a domestic?
-
Rumor has it that a navy blue DSM out of the SLS garage ran outta luck against a C5 on 13th Ave. last Friday night. I guess it was an impromptu roll-on from stoplight to stoplight(the stretch from Perkins to West Acres that goes under I-29). The vette driver said that the DSM driver offered some excuses when they talked at the 2nd light. The vette driver also said his ride was stock, and was even the heavy convertible model.
Did anyone see this or is it B.S.? Only blue DSM I've seen is Johnson's.

Impressive, and almost relevant to this thread. So you can beat a stock car, huh? :lol:

ACT 2900 Clutch........$410
PTE 56 trim turbo.......$850
GReddy type S BOV...$175
750cc injectors..........$305
Walbro 255lph HP.......$90
Stock 1g TSi AWD..$3,550(obviously not entire list)
Stopming a $60,000+ high performance domestic V8 with a four cylinder import worth 3500 and with less than 3 grand in mods....Priceless
For tuning cars go to SLS, for everything else, there's mastercard. -

From a value perspective, the Z06 is probably the best buy of all the new performance cars. If you want a new car and a warranty, the Z06 has pretty good bang for the buck. If you want a new car and want to mod it (and risk the warranty), I would say the Cobra is the way to go. Just a couple of thoughts...
Of course, on the street and in a race, the warranty, how much you paid for it and any excuses go out the window.
Fvckin machine took my quarter

No replacement for displacement.....when it boils down it eh?
Oh well, boost is sure a lot of fun though
-
isnt the cobra priced right around the EVO and STi price tag and more expensive than a regular WRX? I think those would be easier to get a little more power out of for cheaper than a cobra...boost controller, fuel controller, more fuel...? I dont disagree tho cobras do have pretty good bang for their buck same with vettes altho i am not a domestic guy especially for fords

Tony.. Cobra:

... Cobra = alot more power, even w/ a boost controller, and whatever else you want to bolt on to the evo

Isn't it true with merely different pullies, slicks, exhaust, and an intake that cobra's hit consistant high 10's? Thats pretty amazing...
