I know what you mean, and I certainly wasn't there, so I am not gonna say anything, except "you win some, you lose some"!

true true I want a rematch then damn it

Too bad you won't be here for Bitburg this year. Then we could ALL see it!

SRZ · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2004 10:59 pm

We can arrange a rematch earlier just for that. I'd like to see how the SS handle's a Blown Stang. Interesting race I bet.

If the weather holds up on 3 April, we do the Trial in Bitburg on this day.

Means we need a few hands for the measuring and setup followed by 'testdriving' on the track with timeslips to see if the light and all works right.
Pictures (and results) will get posted.

Is it blown John? That wasn't the Cobra with the carbon fiber spoiler, was it? :shock:

April 3rd huh that might just work I dont have to ship the SS till the 14th so if the weathers good that will work out great.

SRZ · **Posted:** Fri Mar 19, 2004 11:22 pm

No Jack it's not Ray Tillman. There is another blown cobra rolling around w/ fat meats out back. Looks to be a 01-03. He put the SC on after he bought the car. The are a few blown stangs running around 4-5 to be exact.

Sweet, maybe I'll get to run one this year, if I decide to race. :twisted:

tHEE ss CAN NOT KEEP UP WITH A BLOWN STANG. INEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A SS. TYPING IS BAD BECAUSE I HAD SURGERY. BUT ANYWAY IF THEE SS IS STOCK IT WILL LOSE. AND I DONT KNOW OF ANY SS THAT CAN BEAT RAY. MY SET UP ONLY PUSHED 5 LBS OF BOOST AND I WOULD PUT 2 CAR LENGTHS ON A SS.

SSZ28 · **Posted:** Sun Mar 21, 2004 9:51 pm

All a SS needs is sticky tires.
Does depend on the year of the stang though...

395stang · **Posted:** Sun Mar 21, 2004 10:49 pm

going to take more than tires when that boost comes in.

We are talking straight line here aren,t we . Of course we are . what was I thinking

395stang · **Posted:** Mon Mar 22, 2004 5:49 am

roy i know no one track races enough. i have no doubt that a camaro will out handle a stang but in the 1/4 the field is a little more level.

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Mar 22, 2004 6:50 am

Mike , thanks for those pearls of wisdom. I know, I'm a funny guy today.

SSZ28 · **Posted:** Mon Mar 22, 2004 12:36 pm

An older 4.6 needs a lot of boost... I know, at least on the 1/8th mile at Pirmasens. :wink:

There was a late '80s Saleen that put up a for sale sign in his window after I got through with him. BTW, that was when my car was bone stock. I must admit that there was one 'charged 5.0 that outran me. :oops:

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Mon Mar 22, 2004 2:37 pm

If Mike beat me running only 5 lbs of boost, he would have annihilated me with any more. It took everything my Z had just to finish the 100th or so it was behind him.. My car is easily a mid 12 second car on the right track, so it would not take much boost at all to beat a fairly stock LT1/LS1.

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:06 pm

Okay lets see what we have here.
Lets go with a 5.0 with a supercharger
versus a ls1 relatively stock.

5.o probably got at the most 325 at the crank super charged. Ican't seee a 100hp increase on a stock engine and live on pump gas. Imay be wrong

Ls1 lets go 305.

I 'd say it is all up to the drivers on this one. at these hp ratings.

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:16 pm

Yeah, you're right Roy. Mike's engine was far from stock, too! I actually did pretty damn well. I think he was running a 360ci. then....

395stang · **Posted:** Mon Mar 22, 2004 6:53 pm

no it was a 306 and my biggset prob was traction. the same combo ran mid 11s here in nc
