soon2be03 said:I dont know, Maybe? I do know that a guy over here had a 463rwhp f-body m6 and raced an 03 with a pully, chip, catback, tires. The guy admited he didnt know how to drive it yet(had for a couple of months) and if you look at the vid, he really didnt know how to drive it. Well the guy started talking a lot Sh*t and saying that the 03 were crap and this and that. Well the vid showed that he couldnt find 3rd gear, couldnt hook up and he admited he lost. Well why the hell would some body run there mouths about that AFTER the guy in the cobra admited he lost, and that the car was faster than his because he couldnt drive it? Then a guy with a Ported SC, Pullyed, gears, shifter, suspension, headers, x-pipe, catback, wanted to race. And the other guy wouldnt. I just wanted to see that race:-D
Anything is possible on the street. Plus, I don't street race period. An 03 with a 2.80 pulley, o/r exhaust, CAI mod and tuned will run 7.3x's/97 mph on 26 inch ET Streets. Look at the mods an LS1 needs to run those times, every bolt-on plus a 150 shot. I only lost to one SS on the track. It had Stg 3 heads, LS6 cam/intake, 3500 stall, headers, true duals, with a 150 shot and it barely beat me. Plus I was running on a set of 28 inch ET Streets that took 2 tenths off my best pass at that track. If I had my 26's I would have beaten him. My buddy and I drive all over the eastern US going to tracks and I can't tell you how many F-Bodies, vettes and vipers I've seen him humble. A 460 rwhp 03 will not lose to a 390 rwhp F-Body.
If you look at the torque curve on an 03 you will see that it will not fall flat at high rpm's. It is flat through the rev limit. Even with the Eaton, the car will pull hard through redline and will trap over 120 plus with the mods listed above.
Then if you add a screw blower you are in another world. Mine with over 600 rwhp and a 3.90 gear at 100 mph in sixth gear will stick you to the seat. At 80 mph in third gear it will lay rubber with just throttle.
