V8kilr

the part about not standing a chance is the key element there

besides whats a cobra do in the 1/4 anyway?
isnt a cobra just a gt with some flashy parts???

1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R 5.2 13.8
1996 Ford Mustang Cobra 5.5 14.0
1998 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT 5.4 14.0
1999 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT 5.4 13.9


Far cry from a stockport 12A....

V8kilr

i posted my 1/4 mile times a while back @ 14.43

somehow im not seeing this as an amazing thing

oh btw my engine is a rebuild with aprox 35,000

SilverRocket

I wanna see a timeslip of this.

If all you have is a stockport 12A and a Nikki carb with the mods you posted, I don't see how you could have run a time like that. This is in the neighborhood of the kind of time that a bone-stock FD runs. Are you saying your car is as fast as a stock FD?!?

Until you post a timeslip I'm calling....



Oh, and there's no chance a stock 12A can touch a Mustang Cobra.

Felix Wankel

Your **** ported, or do you spray? My car has more **** on it and it has a snowballs chance in hell of running a low 14.

V8kilr

the new engine was bought before i bought the car,
it cost the previous owner a pretty penny,
he did say weather it was ported,
if anything id say a mild street port.

the engine always pulled stronger then any of my previous 1st gens,
this is my third.

im trying to find my time slips now.

the wild clutch combo and welded diff allow me to launch @ 3,000 rpm with no prblems,
in fact its the only way i can see possible of getting this thing off the line with hopes of a low et

for the mean time heres a couple more thing i have done to my car

rb rear springs
tokico adjustable shocks

helps put the power to the pavement

and reenforced wheel wells,i noted the old ones started to buckle after the clutch,suspension and diff upgrades.

V8kilr

well whats on your car??

14.43 secs? what is a stock first gen? Like 17? I find the fact that you shave 3 secs off your et with the mods you have done. Have you had your car weighed? How much is it, that could explain it a little but the stuff you say you removed isn't really that heavey (well maybe the A/C) Obviously you don't like american cars, which is fine everyone is entitled to his opinion, but Muscle cars werre made to drag race so my $$$ would be on the Cobra or my TA. First gen rx7's, unless you do some wild **** under the hood don't really make good draggers, note: I said unless you do some wild **** under the hood, I've seen plenty of first gen draggers that are good but they are always heavily modded.

Just scan the time slip... Im curious I only ran my car once and its really BAD, It was like 16 secs

My friend just bought a 79 TA in awesome condition for $2000, the motor all chromed, even the bird on the hood it perfect. Id like to had one, im a fan of old cars...

Of course Id like to have a 79 or 80 Rx-7 in perfect condition, but not gonna pay 4 or 5k it

V8kilr

right @14.7

Felix Wankel

14.7 is a lot different from 14.4.... Thats more believeable. I still say that engine is ported.

V8kilr

i have a 14.4 but didnt think i would need to keep it around to prove im not a lier?

Felix Wankel

Why don't you go take some Prozac or something and chill out?

Max7

I'll race yah in my UNported SE

This is the 2nd time everyone's gotten in an uproar over V8kilr's "street" RX-7. When it happened last time, he listed all the gutting he did to reduce weight,just like he did this time. If a stock '68 FBird race-prepped and gutted can run low 12s when they did 15's in old car tests, then I tend to believe a stockport 12A that normally runs 17s could easily, with the same preparation, could run 14s. Nice work on the Cobra, V8kilr!

V8kilr

thanks for coming to the rescue.

people dont understand how restricted a stock seven is,
just unrestricting it,
ie 3 cats
smog pump
other emmisions
a/c pump,
a/c core
etc
there is a lot of power to be gained from "fixing these problems"

i dont have emmisions here so ask me if i care that my car polutes 10 times as much as a mack truck.
