Welcome, noob. i look forward to flaming you in the future. :puke:


I guess you showed me with your gay meters. I suggest maybe investing in a life, you queer. Just because you can't drive very well doesn't mean everyone else can't.

Yeah, I meant a snake. Hilarious. Ha ha ha. Too funny, tooooo funny.

Let us know what code you get!

Thanks for writing something relevent. I'll do that.


For anyone who wants to know about the cobra, it's a 95 with a cai, borla exhaust, stage 3 clutch, and oh, not to mention a 5.0 liter engine. He beats me in the 1\8 mile by I think it was 2 seconds, but if it was 1\4 or 1\2 mile, even he admits that my car would overtake him, which I have done.

He's 2 seconds up at the 1/8th mile, but you beat him to the 1/4? :yelrotflm

Is the 1/8 where you light the solid fuel rockets? LOL

the DEA and other applicable agencies should get rid of the old ass "your brain on drugs" commercials, and replaced them with guys like this talking

devildog1679 06-25-2007 10:12 AM

I say if you really believe you can and have beat him, then post a video.

Yes, that is when I light my solid fuel rockets. That's as funny as racing a snake. Ha ha ha. Does anyone here besides me know how to drive?

Maybe ur friend doesn't know how to drive? Sorry, but a 95 Cobra easily takes an rx-8, whether we are talking 1/8th mile or 1/4 mile its not going to be that close. Maybe u guys should swap cars and i garantee u'll smoke ur rx-8..

Fantasy, really, if you think you can catch somebody with a TWO SECOND lead in the 1/8th, by the 1/4.



Does his Cobra have 5.11:1 rear-end gears? Does it top out about 80mph?

wow getting so defensive that you had to go with gay insults? what's next, telling me how fat my momma is?

i can drive just fine, but I also know my car isn't beating a cobra with an 8.

mods please sticky this thread. :) i look forward to the continuous bashing.

dmp 06-25-2007 01:00 PM

Look - it's possible he could beat a 240hp Mustang in his 215hp RX8 - But what REALLY makes things look Stupid is if he was behind by TWO SECONDS at the 8th, and ends up catching him and beating him in the 1/4. Just doesn't add up.

First I don't know much about cars but I do know how to search. What I found is that the 1995 Cobra came with a 5.0, 240 HP, 285 TQ, and weighed in at about 3,052 lbs. Car & Driver got the 1995 Cobra to 1/4 in 14.2 sec. and a 0-60 of 5.5. This compared to a 238 HP, 159 TQ RX-8 weighing in at 3,000 lbs. It is plausible that you could beat him especially if he can't drive for shit or his Cobra has lost power due to it being almost 12 years old. On paper the RX-8 won't stand a chance, just compare the C&R #'s for both cars. In reality though if the Cobra has lost power over the years then it may be true that you can take him.

dmp 06-25-2007 01:48 PM

Except independent engine dynos of the rx8 show about 20hp less than rating...remember that :)

AND the cobra isn't stock....AND those engines are near bullet-proof. Do you think a low-torque car like the rx8 could make up a TWO SECOND margin in the 1/8th mile?

hells no. that is, unless he has a 5 car length head start. :rolleyes:

No, I don't think so either. More then likely this kid is talking out of his #$@. But for the sake of argument if the Cobra engine is shot to hell, this may explain his claim. I had a 1995 Z28, when I first got the car (1998) it ran like a bat out of hell. I finally sold it in 2005 in order to get the 8. By the time I sold I could definitely tell it was hurting, it had 150K.

dmp 06-25-2007 05:40 PM

I'll grant the following:

Remove one spark plug wire from the Mustang and the outcome of the race WOULD be plausible, except for over-coming a TWO second deficit at the 1/8th mile mark.

chrism 06-25-2007 06:52 PM

i think the proper phrase would be i like pie here...but im forced to call the flag out too

im from huntsville alabama and i will race you any time with your unichip shit. all i got is exhaust but we will see who the better driver is... unless you are scared of getting beat by your own car.

I can't believe everyone has continued this post. Damn, get a job. I never said that I cared what you think on the rx8/mustang thing, I just asked a simple question that only two people have given a good response to. Geez, I thought this thing was over.

Don't have the chip in anymore. I must have missed the part where I was supposed to be scared though, but let me know when you get to Knoxville. Are you going to say that your dad can beat up mine, too?

The problem is your outlandish claims...next thing you'll say is "You invented the question mark."

the question mark consistently pwns the exclamation point!

:lol2:

Pony Killer 79 06-26-2007 11:37 AM

The question mark, how original. Because that is related to what we're saying. I really and honestly don't care if you believe me or not. I can't tell you how much I just don't care. I think you've just continued this thread is because you're wondering how I can do what I did... and you can't. How does that taste? You two are just a bunch of nerds chuckling to themselves while they write stupid, irrelevent comments online while going back and forth to porn sites because you are retarded nerds who have never been laid. Sure, you can come back and say, "Nuh uh, I been laid. Billions of times!" But we all know, so don't bother.

For someone who doesn't care, you're arguing a lot and perpetuating the issue.

If you're beating your friend, why feel the need to prove it to random people you've never met?

nike178 06-26-2007 11:50 AM

honestly, can you post a vid of this race?
